Naps

At what age do children typically stop taking naps?

Good Question! I am interested to hear people's responses. I know my 4 year old nephew doesn't take naps anymore....

I think 4 is pretty average, but of course some are later or earlier. When DS went from pre-K to Kinder he went from 1 nap to no naps at school. It was a hard transition and he usually still napped on the weekends until his body got used to the new schedule.

I think most are around 3 to 3.5 years, but I have 20 nieces/nephews and it can range from 2 to 4. I fear DD will be on the early side since she's never been a great napper and she dropped her second nap early.

My 4 year old still naps sometimes. I make him have quiet time while DS2 is napping. Sometimes he naps and sometimes he looks at books.

My oldest still napped until 5, my 3 year old can skip napping one day a week but then he goes to bed super early.

I'm 40 and still a fan of naps. Just sayin'
