10 months.

DD dropped to one nap at 12 months. I love it. She naps 2-3 hours!

My baby just dropped it last week- so a few weeks shy one one year. I know my older daughter was on twonlonger but can't remember when she changed.

She would take a good morning nap then refuse to sleep in the afternoon- just scream in her crib. So I have been trying one and so far she seems better. Still figuring out our. Ew schedule.

18 months or so. A sleep consultant once told me that if you put your baby down for a nap and he consistently (>2 weeks) doesn't fall asleep, then they are ready to drop the nap. But, if even once in those two weeks they fall asleep, then they still need the nap. I don't know how much I agree with that, but at least it gives you a concrete methodology!

14 months, but it was a 3 month long transition where we pushed his morning nap later, then progressively cut his morning nap shorter and shorter, and pushed his afternoon nap a little later.

DS1 was up at 730, napped from 10-12, then again from 2-4pm, then bedtime at 730pm. At around 10 months we pushed his nap to 1030am and woke him at noon, then a few weeks later we cut it to 1130am. Then we pushed his PM nap to 230pm. When that stopped working, we moved to 1 nap at 14 months, but made it happen earlier in the day. So we did a hefty snack at 1030am, nap at 11am and then let him sleep as long as he wanted. Lunch happened after he woke up. And then an earlier bedtime (like 30 minutes) for a little while because he wasn't napping longer than 2 hours at first. It took about a month before his naps lengthened out beyond 2 hours, but once it did we slowly pushed it back to noon. By 16 months DS1 had lunch at 1130am and was in bed by 12pm and napped 2.5-3 hours and he's stayed roughly on that schedule for a long time. He's 27 months old now and goes down at noon at daycare and about 1230-1pm at home on the weekends.

LO1 still did 2 naps at home until ~18 months. LO2 went to 1 nap ~13 months.

He started at a home daycare at one and was still on two naps. Our provider would see how the morning was going and if they were out and about or busy she would just push through for no nap in the morning. If he was cranky, she would put him down for a cat nap of about 20 mins and wake him. We did the same at home and within a month or so he was down to one 2-3 hour nap from 12:30 on and has stayed that way since. I have to say I love the one big nap!

We're fully on 1 nap now at 15 months but he's pretty overtired and could probably still use 2, honestly! He just fights the afternoon one so bad. I think at 12-13 months it was mostly 2 naps, and around 13-14 months it was hit or miss whether he'd take 2. Even now he has days he would definitely take 2 (he is an early riser so he gets tired early!) - but he would take a nap from like 9:30-11 and then want to go back to sleep at like 4pm... which is no good. So we try to keep him up a little later and just have 1.

DS1 dropped to one nap at 20 months

DS2 is still taking two naps at 16 months

14 months for 1&2. DD3 is 11 months and is starting to show signs of dropping to one. It'll definitely make my life easier to be on one nap!

DS 1 - right around 14 months switched to 1 nap because he started in daycare and they only did one long afternoon nap.

DS2 - He is 14 months now, and is starting to have days were he only has one long nap. if he stays asleep for 1.5-2 hours for his morning nap he won't usually take an afternoon nap at all, i'd like to try to get him to just taking 1 long afternoon nap.

He started transitioning at 14 months and finished around 16 months - he was moved to the toddler room at 15 months, so they started transitioning him to 1 nap about a month before. He still took 2 naps on weekends for a while, to catch up on sleep I think, but he's 16 months now and consistently only takes one 2-2.5 hour nap.

Wow, I didn't realize we were keeping two naps so late. My daughter is 21 months. Some days one nap is sufficient but other days she's a mess without two naps. I'd love to move to one long nap soon; my previous attempts went poorly.

Our youngest is 15 months and just transitioned. Well, she's still kind of transitioning. Most days she's on 1 nap. Some days she takes a morning cat nap in the stroller and then her afternoon nap.

Right at 15 months.

12 months. We stopped two naps when they changed to that schedule at daycare to keep her schedule consistent.

13 months. He had been fighting the second nap for about a month and I was tired of stressing out about it.

It was about 15 months and our daycare did the transition. We kept two naps at home on the weekends a little longer. Life is so much easier though with one nap!!

@MrsADS: I know this post is old but I am experiencing the same thing that you posted. How was his overall demeanor when you made him power through to only take one nap? And when you did give him a nap what time did you lay him down and how long did he sleep for on average? Thanks!

For DS1- @15 months
DS2-@13 months

We are finally on a one nap schedule here and my DS2 just turned 14 months. I feel like daycare pushed this schedule earlier than they did for my first son, but I personally like it so much more! He now takes a solid 2.5-3 hour nap. He will fall asleep in the car on the way to the park, etc @9/10, but I quickly wake him.
