15 mo old suddenly goes to 1 nap a day?

dpraseutsinh

DD used to sleep 12 hrs a night with 2 naps, but the past couple days she's been sleeping 14 hrs a night with 1 afternoon nap. Is this normal for a 15 mo old? I thought they usually dont transition til around 18 mos or so? Should I leave it be or try to get her back to 2 naps a day again? Thanks!

I've read 15-18 months is the average

DD started refusing her second nap at 14m and was completely over to one nap at 15m.

DS went to 1 nap when he moved up in rooms as DC at 12 months.  He'll still occasionally take 2 on the weekends, but not always.  Sounds like your LO is making up for it at night, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Sounds like plenty of sleep overall. Mine is a great sleeper, but man, 14 hours at night would mean a 9am wakeup on the weekends. That would be awesome! He does still usually take 2 two hour naps, though, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Consider yourself lucky.... Dd was extremely early and switched to one nap at 9 months! It was an abrupt switch. I tried to force the morning nap for awhile but once she dropped it there was nothing I could do.

I now have come to appreciate the one nap as we have more time in the mornings for play dates, classes, errands etc.

DS dropped his first nap around that time. It's okay. I agree with pp. This typically occurs around 15-18 months.

DD dropped her late afternoon nap around 14/15 months and started doing a longer noon nap.

She wakes up at 8am. Naps 12-2/2:30 (depending on the afternoon we have). Then in bed by 8/8:30pm.

DD transitioned to one nap right before she turned 15 months.  I think it's pretty normal.

We just did at 14m ,he's doing great and it's helped his night times out because they where rough for us!

15-16 months here too.

Normal. They tend to switch to one nap around 15 months.

This.  My LO dropped the second nap around 8-9months too!  His one nap now is about 2hours long and much more easier to work around.

Yup, down to one nap at 10 months.  I wish DS would have waited til 15 months to do that!
