two naps to one?

Question

I'm not sure if it's too early for this or not. I read somewhere that they start around 1 year old? But I'm pretty sure my LO is giving me signs that she's ready for the transition. She sleeps at night without waking up, usually around 12 hours. Her morning naps have been getting later. Her first nap is getting longer and she's refusing the second nap. She's also ready for bed earlier because of the lack of second nap. So we're in a stage where one nap is not enough and two is too many. Is anybody else going through this?

Answer

we went through this. now she naps at around 12 till 3pm, then foes to bed from 8pm to 8am. I think I have never been as happy as now ever before 😂 because napping for three hours (sometimes more) is so! much better than napping for 45 minutes two times a day!

Answer

I read that sometimes a 12 month sleep regression is mistaken for needing to cut down to one nap. And not to do it prematurely

Answer

Yes my son who will be one on the first is starting to wake up around 4:30 am and then his morning nap is getting longer and his second nap is hit or miss. Following because I'm wondering this same question.

Answer

YES AND ITS KILLING ME. I work from home and need the second nap to get shit done and she's tired and yawning and rubbing her eyes and then it's full on melt down mode when I put her in her crib. Over the past week half the time I gave up after an hour of screaming and skipped it and the other half of the time she screamed for 30 mins and went to sleep. Can you tell I'm not ready for her to stay awake from 1130-730 yet? 😂😂😂

Answer

we are going through this too. most days she'll take 2 naps, but sometimes she just won't, and after 45min of her fighting it, we just skip it (or go for a drive, that usually works for a 20 min nap). I read what the experts say, which is to try to keep 2 naps through 15 to 18 months. not sure how this will all work when we start afternoon daycare next month.

Answer

Yes, mine has been doing the same for about a week. He used to nap at 11 am and 3pm. Now he naps around noon for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. He's extremely tired before bedtime.

Answer

My LO takes one nap at daycare because that is what their schedule is. She still takes 2 when home on the weekends though. I can never get her to nap a long period of time at home. I don't know what sort of magic they're pulling at daycare but she seems to do fine with one nap during the week.

Answer

My son (will be 1 in 3 weeks) went down to one nap a few months ago and he was showing all signs of being completely ready. Now he gets one 2 1/2-3 hour nap a day, and he's happily in bed at 8.

Answer

We're at one nap it's super 😑

Answer

Same here but I read it's better try and hold on to two naps because once they start walking they go back to needing two naps because they use more energy up. My LO is about to take his first steps so I'm waiting to see how Things go before giving up a nap completely.
