If I remember right, don't most LOs drop down to 1 nap around 12 months? Just curious, how old is your LO and how many naps do they usually take? My DD is almost 10 months and has been resisting the morning nap more but I can tell she still needs it. Sometimes it ends up super short and other times it's the usual length, about 1 hr 20 min. She usually only takes 2 naps
DD just turned 12 months and is still taking 2 naps a day, sometimes 3. She wakes up at 7am and will take her first nap late morning around 9-10am and then naps again in the afternoon. Naps usually last an hour, sometimes 90 minutes. If her afternoon nap is early, she might take another short nap between 6-7pm. She goes to sleep late usually around 9:30 to 10pm.
We are going through the same thing!! Everything I read seems to indicate they still need to naps but that some babies go through a phase where the refuse naps. This blog actually summarizes everything I keep reading

I think I am going to try putting him down later for his 1 st nap and then cutting it short as suggested. Today my LOwoke up at 7:30 am stayed up until 12:30!!! I knew he was tired but nothing worked to get him down. After lunch I took him up and went to sleep no problem...but again I am going to try for two naps
DS2 takes just one good nap per day. He was on 2 naps until he moved to the Cruiser room at daycare, where 85% of the kids have already transitioned to one nap. He was always having too much fun and too distracted to take the much needed morning nap, so over time, he transitioned to just one nap per day.
DS1 didn't transition to one nap per day until maybe closer to 18 months? I cant really remember. I don't mind the one nap/day though b/c that allows us to be out and about a little more and not have to be so worried with missing his naps. I consider myself a nap nazi.
right now we're at 2 naps, one a few hours after waking and one more around 3 or 4. however, she likes to fight the 2nd nap A LOT even though everyone (including herself) knows she's exhausted. that's the time the grandparents come home, so she gets all excited lol.
Lurking, but my son is JUST going to 1 nap now and he's 19.5 mo. We had a few false starts since about a year old where it really seemed he was going down to 1 nap but they never panned out.
Typically we do a morning and afternoon, but if he wakes unusually early (sometimes happens) or his naps are extra short we still do a third cat nap in the late afternoon.
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

12 months is young to drop to 1 nap. Not to say it's not possible, as others said, every baby is different, but the average age to drop to one nap is actually closer to 18 months. My DS was 18 months when he dropped to 1. DD just turned 9 months and takes 2.

DD is 10months and over the last week started dropping her morning nap. She used to always nap 2 hours after she woke up for the day but lately she isn't giving me any sleeping cues at the usual Time. It's been several days in a row now that she's only been taking one nap after lunch, lasts 3 hours. So we're tentatively down to 1 nap, at least for now.
My twins are almost 9 months (8 months adjusted) and take 3 naps a day, about an hour each nap. They nap at 6:30 am, 10:30am, 2:30pm and go to bed at 6:30 pm.

DD is 8.5 month and has consistently taken two naps since around 6/6.5 months. She wakes up around 7 and takes a nap around 9:30/10 and again at 2:30/3. back down for bed between 7 and 7:30
right now we're at 2 naps, one a few hours after waking and one more around 3 or 4. however, she likes to fight the 2nd nap A LOT even though everyone (including herself) knows she's exhausted. that's the time the grandparents come home, so she gets all excited lol.
Same here! She goes down so easily for her morning nap which is crazy since it's shortly after she wakes up from sleeping through the night. She fights us all the time for her afternoon nap and we don't do anything at that time of day, lol.
