When do they drop down to 1 nap?

DD has been fighting her afternoon nap almost every day the past week or so, and when she finally falls asleep she'll only stay asleep for usually 45 minutes.  Her morning naps have also gotten longer (she now naps usually 1 1/2 hours instead of 1 hour, and today she's been asleep for over 2 hours!).  She's never been a good napper - a good day was two 1 to 1 1/4 hour naps, and now I'm not sure what's going on!  Is this a phase or is it about time to go to 1 nap?  If so, how long is a 1-a-day nap usually?

    DS dropped to 1 nap at 10 months.  He typically naps for 2-3 hours a day.  He also started fighting his afternoon nap and often wouldn't take it.  So, I just dropped it for him.

    It's better if they drop the morning nap though, so you'll want to move the morning nap to mid-day--otherwise you'll have a cranky kid by late afternoon!

    DD's been down to one nap for a few weeks now--usually 2-2.5hrs.  I find that she sleeps longer in the AMs which is great!

    The transition is still occurring. Last week he had 4 days with one nap and 3 days with two naps.

    He went to one nap a day at 14 months.  He sleeps an average of 2.5 hours.  Some days more, some less.

    DD #1 at 1 year and DD#2 at 10 months but at 15 months, will sometimes take a short cat nap if we are in the car mid morning but that is not often.  My older DD will nap 1-2 hours on average and my younger DD, 2-3 hours on average.
