Anyone else drop to 1 nap already?

For the past week DD has been fighting both am and pm naps and will usually only sleep for maybe 35 minutes at each. I'm thinking it's time to just consolidate into 1 nap but it seems pretty early for this? DS took 2 naps until he was closer to 18 months.

Jack dropped his second nap approx. 2 months ago. I like one long nap (2 hrs) better than two short naps.

I don't think you need to wait until your LO is a certain age, you will know when she is ready.

We are down to one nap. As PP said, I think one long one is better than 2 short ones. He started taking the one long nap at day care so we changed his weekend schedule to match.

My little man has only been taking one nap for at least a month now. By making him stay up an hour or so later and putting him down for only one afternoon nap I was able to synchronize both kids naps and give me a much needed break. Plus now we are not on house arrest with one child always napping.

PP is right, your baby will tell you when two naps are no longer needed.

Our daycare drops them down to one nap when they move into the toddler room, and it's been so awesome for us. Jackson would fight naps and would maybe get in a total of an hour a day, but now he's sleeping 2+ hours after lunch. It's awesome!

We've been at one nap a day since about 11 months I think...It's been so long now I can remember. He will occasionally take two but that's an off day!

DD only takes one nap a day at day care but on weekends we usually try for two still, if she's tired enough. She's fine either way. But I have noticed her one nap is longer now.

Us. Trying to find that magic time where he'll nap for 3-4 hours...Lil man went from two 90-minute naps to one 2-hour nap.

Linus just dropped from 2 long naps to 1 long nap.

When he was taking 2 naps one was 2 hours and the second was usually an hour. It was weird... he started sleeping an hour longer at night (usually 13 hours now!) and fought the second nap. So I just moved it a little later and he's usually happy with that. It's only been a week so it's still a little iffy,but he's doing pretty well.
