Transition to one nap already??

Question

It’s that time again where my LO is fighting naps, but this time it’s basically just the second nap. Does this mean I should transition to one nap? I know it’s early. I don’t know if it’s due to a regression so I don’t want to be premature about it but it’s been a struggle. Due to her not doing the second nap she’ll be awake for 7-8 hours before bed 😱 I know it messes up her night too. Anyone else jump to one nap because of how baby was acting? Or just decide to transition to one? What do your day schedules look like? Thanks!

Answer

I found this chart super helpful with my first.  My daughter moved to one nap suuuuper early around 9 months to match her older brothers schedule. It looks like this:
630/7 am wake up
1130am  lunch
12pm till 2/3pm nap
3pm snack
530pm dinner
630pm bath and nurse
7/ 730pm bedtime
It matches the daycare schedule where the whole center has quiet and nap time so if and when it ever opens up again we'll be ahead of the curve haha.
I LOVE one nap it is so great and so convenient.  But maybe that's just me?

My daughter decided she didn’t want to take her morning nap anymore so after a few days of fighting her to nap I just let her go. Now she naps right after lunch when my oldest naps and that give me a solid 3 hours to get stuff done around the house... or nap myself lol

We switched to 1 nap at 11 months. It was very hard to get him down for his morning nap and then it had to be really short to get his afternoon nap in. He transitioned smoothly and naps 2 1/2 -3 hours. When you switch to 1 nap,you could slowly push the morning nap later until its at a time that works best. I did that with my first baby, with this one I just made it a couple hours later that first day and he was fine.

Mine dropped down to 1 nap at 11.5 months. We have found our sweet spot after some trial and error. She takes her nap about 4 hours after wake up and she sleeps for 1-1.5hr. So she’s awake for about 7 hrs then bedtime but now she never fights bedtime and sleeps about 12hrs.

Answer

My daughter still takes 2 naps I’ve been thinking about switching to one nap though she seriously fights her time lately. Her dad doesn’t want to go down though to only one nap and by 10am she’s tired and crabby

Answer

Yeah we just moved a week ago the day after he turned one funnily enough, he was fighting to go down for last nap and so bedtime was also being pushed back and bedtime took 2 hours!! It was hell, the advice is to change once your baby has fought naps for 2 weeks so you know its not just a leap or teething, i think you know tho my gut kept saying i think he needs 1 nap so your probably right! Weve been soo much better! He used to love his morning naps at 8 30 i thought id never keep him awake but he goes till 10.30 no problem! Im working on stretching it until 11 thats perfect for us as hes sleeping 2.30 hrs xxx
