2 naps or 1 nap??

Hi moms,

 

My boys will be 10 months tomorrow. They wake up between 6:30am and 7:30am. They take their morning nap around 9:30am - 10:00am and sleep anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours. They take an afternoon nap between 2:00pm and 3:00pm for about an hour usually but its never consistent. They go to sleep at night between 7:00pm and 8:00pm. Some days they fight their naps and other days they go right down. My mom watches them 3 days a week while I work. She keeps insisting they are ready for 1 nap from 12-3pm. What do you guys think? I feel like they are young for just 1 nap.  Plus they just started sleeping through the night last week. They wake up in the middle of the night occasionally but go right back to sleep. I don't want to change anything because our nights just started getting peaceful! Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!

    At that age we still definitely did two naps...in fact we did two naps until slightly after 2 years old. DS was ready before DD. If anything I would probably shorten the morning nap. I just started to put them down later and later. First they were going down about 9:30am and then it went to 10am and then 10:30 (always waking them by noon for lunch). Honestly I miss the morning nap! I miss that little break in the morning!

    It would definitely be on the young side to go down to one nap. If they are consistently sleeping for two naps then I don't think they are ready to drop one. They will tell you when they are ready to drop a nap by consistently refusing one nap. Also, yay for STTN!

    Your boys are exactly like my girls for wake up, naps and bedtime. I tried one day to drop down to 1 nap because they were taking 2 really short naps. They only ended up taking 1 2-hr nap and that was it so I scratched that and they are 2 naps everyday. I will do 2 naps until they tell me they are ready to drop 1.

    They seem really young to go to one nap.  Mine are almost 15 months and most days we still do two naps.  We go back and forth between one nap days and two nap days.  They aren't great at stretching their nap longer than an hour and a half, so we often wind up with a terrible afternoon and early bedtime on one nap days. Even if they have a good one nap day it seems like they need a two nap day the next day to get caught up on sleep.

    If your mom really thinks they're ready for one, IMHO it doesn't hurt to try a one nap day.  You'll know right away if they're ready for it or not.

    My girls are 16 months old and just started doing one nap per day. Still occasionally do 2 naps. But every kid is different, I guess.
