Down to one nap? Come in!

DD is obviously moving down to one nap in the last week or so. Just curious as to what time your LO is taking their nap? I have been delaying the time to put her down since she is fighting the second nap and not the first, so she is down sometime between 10 and 10:30 and wakes between 12 and 12:30. The last hour of her day before bedtime is pretty rough (she is down at 7-7:30ish).

    We're in the process of transitioning. She starts getting a little cranky around 10, so we go for a long walk and I put her down around 1111:30 for now. I'm going to try to push it till 12 eventually. She couldn't quite make it until her normal bedtime, so I put her down early. I read that until they sleep longer for one nap of 2 to 3 hours, put them down a little earlier to make up for lost sleep during the day and longer duration between nap bedtime.

    DS has been between 1-2 naps for the past 2 weeks. I've been following his sleepy cues & try to stretch his 1st nap to start around 12. Sometimes, I can get him to hold out until 12, then he sleeps until 2pm-ish or 3pm. That is his only nap on days like that.

    Sometimes, he is super tired by 10 and then has 2 naps that day. If he is in major meltdown an hour or so before bedtime, we just start bedtime early that night.

    *shrugs shoulders* I'm totally winging this.

    DS has been on one nap a day for a few months now. At daycare, he naps from 10ish to noonish, and at home he naps from around 8:30-11am.

    DD2 has been down to one nap since 9 or 10 months old.  She goes down between 11:30-12:30p.  It just depends on her mood.  She goes to bed between 7-7:30p.

    DS has been down to one nap since 9 months. Because of our schedule, he goes down around 11am, and a good nap for him is 2 hours. Once your LO gets used to just the nap, your evenings will get a lot better. FWIW, mine dropped the same second nap and both he and I worked towards a delayed morning nap. GL!

    DS hasn't been sleeping well, but STTN, maybe once a week sometimes, he'll still wake up. But he wakes up after six usually... and goes to bed at eight, falls asleep by 8:05 if it's a good night (like tonight). He's usually ready for a nap by 10 or 10:30, but will stay awake until 11:30 or 1. He has been down to one nap for awhile now, like two months. Some days if he has two naps, it's a longer night trying to get him down at eight. Also, most times the one nap he only gets a half hour to an hour and a bit. Just depends on the day =

    Same for us as well. LO just moved up to the toddler room and they do a scheduled nap from around 12:45-2:45pm. So far, so good.
