Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Help! Ready for 1 nap at 12 months?

Hi there! My DS will be 12 months in about a week. He used to nap in the morning and afternoon easily. Lately, he has been pushing back his morning nap until close to 11 and then won't settle down for his afternoon nap at all, sometimes he will at about 3:30. I was thinking of trying to keep him up until after lunch today and then try one longer nap. Is it too early though? I think my first transitioned a lot later than this. What do you think? Thanks for your help!

  • My Daughter went to one nap at 12 months.  I think every child is different, if it works for them they are ready:)

  • DS went to one nap around 12 months too.  He goes down at 11:30 and sleeps until 2 or so.  Makes for a weird lunch schedule, but it works in our house.

  • Thanks, Everyone! I am going to try it today and see how it works!
  • DD is playing with the idea of one nap, but after a few days, it catches up with her.  She doesn't want two, but isn't ready for one.  It's been a few weeks of this, and I expect a bit more of it.  I'd try to follow his lead, but pay very close attention to his sleep signs.

  • DD went to one nap then.  We fought it for about a month, but it was a waste of time.  She wanted to take only a morning nap, but that didn't work because she was cranky and exhausted by about 4:30.  We ended up going to one nap starting around 12:30-1:00.  At first it only lasted about an hour, which was torture, but after a couple of weeks it extended and is now about 2.5-3 hours each day.

    GL!

  • DS went from 2 to 1 at 17 months, but DD transitioned at 6 months.  They are all different!
