Babies: 9 - 12 Months

From 2 to 1 Nap

DD will be 11 months old soon and lately has only wanted 1 nap on weekends (she's in FT daycare). I tried putting her down this afternoon for nap 2 and she stood in the crib for 20 minutes clearly wanting no parts of a nap! Everywhere I read says the second nap doesn't usually go away until after 1 year. I know every baby is different but just wondering if anyone else's LO moved to 1 nap already?? Oddly at DC during the week she usually naps 3x day, but catnaps there.

Re: From 2 to 1 Nap

  • DD typically only naps once at daycare, but does 2-3 naps at home on the weekends.  She's 10.5 months.  When she does the whole standing in the crib thing, I lay her down, give her 5 more minutes, and if she's doing the same thing I say nap time is over.  We try again later if needed.

  • DD has been down to 1 nap since 8 months. She wakes at 7:30am naps from 11-1:30/2 goes to bed at 7:30pm.

  • My friend and I have boys 9 days apart. Her son was down to one nap around 10 months. Mine took 2 naps until 18 months. He is 3 1/2 and still takes a 2 hour nap each day. So yeah, every kid is different. Just follow your kid's cues.




  • DD went down to one 3hour nap after lunch between 9.5 and 10.5 months. It lasted 3-4 weeks. Now at 11 months she's back to two naps a day on most days.
