Changed baby from 2-1 nap, but he’s super cranky...what should I do?

Question

I changed my son from 2 naps to 1 about 2-3 weeks ago. He’s 12 months. I’ve noticed he sleeps longer at night; but is cranky during the day. His nap usually ranges from 1-2.5 hours. It’s usually around 1.5. 
He’s cranky, but I’m able to distract him for a little. But it’s driving me nuts lol. Should I just continue with one nap? Or should I go back to two and see how he does?

Answer

I would do a very short nap in the morning around 8-8:30am for 30 minutes to an hour and then do a long nap right after lunch around 11:30-12 for 2 1/2 hours

Answer

I would let him transition himself when he's ready, that's what I did with my son. You'll eventually notice he'll push that second nap further and further back and then you can cut it out.

Answer

I would go back to 2 naps and shorten the first nap. So maybe nap 1 hour in the morning and 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon. Typically babies will go down to one nap around 18mo

Answer

My son is 20 months and some days functions fine off of 1 nap and some days he needs the two. I just go day by day.
