Question: At what age does your LO start transitioning to one nap a day?

Katalen72

My LO Drew is 11 months...about 3 weeks shy of turning 1. I am curious on when babies/toddlers transition from 2 naps a day to 1 nap a day. Right now, Drew takes 2 naps a day.

Thanks!

I think it depends on the kid. My older DD started transition around 16 months and was on one nap a day by 18 months. I can't forsee my younger DD dropping the morning nap anytime soon.

Definitely depends.  DS2 is already on one nap a day and has been since about 9 months old.  My mother told me I didn't get to that point until I was 18 months old.  DS1 was also down to one nap at 9 months old. 

I think I helped DS2 along, though.  It's positively wonderful to have them both on the same nap schedule now.

My DS just started transitioning about 2 weeks ago. He is just over 10mo.   It started with him sleeping in later than usual (he used to wake about 7am, but gradually over a week or two it became more like 9am).  B/c of this late wake-up, there just is not enough time in the day to get in two naps.  We pushed back his morning one about an hour and he seems to handle it well, takes a nice long nap from about 1:30 - 3:30.  Then in bed by 8ish.

I think it's different depending on LOs temperament and schedule.  Our DD went to one nap over a month ago.  She was transitioning around 6 or 7 months.

DS just turned 1 on saturday/today. he varies between one or two naps a day. it depends on how well he slept that night.

He transitioned to 1 nap around 11 months.

Our little guy started at about 6 months, but he sleeps 11 hours a night, so that's an OK trade-off in my book.

Believe it or not, my DD has no interest what so ever in napping twice a day now.  She has been down to one nap for the past month or so.  She'll throw a living fit if I lay her down again in the evening.  By bedtime she's super tired so I've been slowly pushing her naptime back from what used to be 12 to now 1:30ish-2 and let her sleep a longer nap in the afternoon.  It's the only thing that works for us.  I miss the two naps a day phase!
