Our trigger was that her 2nd nap was late and then pushing bed time way too late and she didn't wake up any later so we knew it was time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2698072 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 12:19:58 +0000 JCCovi 2698072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son didn't drop his second nap until 2, I loved that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2698016 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 10:34:19 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2698016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: @winniebee: it's really amazing how different they can be!</p> <p>@FaithFertility: I keep thinking that I worked at a daycare where all the toddlers were on one nap a the same time and ds would just fall apart there!</p> <p>@Orchid: definitely trying to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2698002 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 10:08:33 +0000 Orchid 2698002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy it while it lasts!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697976 Wed, 15 Feb 2017 09:24:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 2697976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 still takes 2 naps daily and he's almost 19m.

Same as you, her big sister is/was sleep resistant so it seemed super bizarre to me. Though, I have to note that I thought she was STTN but as it turns out, she was up in the MOTN, not crying or calling for me but playing in her bed for up to 4 hours at night! That's when I put restrictions on how much and when she naps. It's helped a little but some days she's in her bed playing from 4 am until I go get her around 615. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697849 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 20:39:27 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2697849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 20mos &amp; several days a week takes 2 naps. She won't usually nap longer than 1.5hrs at a time, though, so together, her naps are usually only 2-2.5hrs each day, at most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697839 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 20:09:55 +0000 winniebee 2697839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second son wasn't on 1 nap until 17-18 months! We tried around 15 and he wasn't ready. Tried again at 16 and still wasn't ready! Between 17-18 months we forced it because it was summer and we didn't want to be stuck home for his morning nap. Even at just over 2, there are times he may fall asleep in the car for 15 mins in the morning but will still take a nap after lunch. He definitely has higher sleep needs than my first son. My first son was on one nap by 14 months and if he even slept 5 mins in the morning, he wouldn't sleep again. And my first son started dropping his nap around 27 months. My second son is 26 months and is nowhere near ready to drop his nap. Kids can be so different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697775 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 16:42:27 +0000 gotkimchi 2697775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine took 2 naps until 2! Her ped said it was normal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697760 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 16:05:56 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2697760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is reassuring!! I need to stay off google, ha. But I know I won't. :silly: </p> <p>@SweetiePie: anywhere from 9 to 11 depending on how the previous night went. If it's 11-2 ish. He usually does down at 7-730 for the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697757 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 16:03:03 +0000 bhbee 2697757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine both dropped around 18m to consistently one nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697741 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:36:16 +0000 lilteacherbee 2697741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of mine dropped to one nap on the later side. DS1 was 20 months and DS2 was 17 months. We kinda had to force DS1 at that point, but DS2 started fighting his afternoon naps and eventually wouldn't nap at all in the afternoon if he slept in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697738 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:23:40 +0000 catgirl 2697738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD dropped to one nap consistently at 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697736 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:17:35 +0000 Ms.Badger 2697736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo just dropped to 1 nap consistently at 21 months. He has done 1 nap per day at daycare since about 16 months but at home he still really wanted 2. As long as your LO is still sleeping well at night, I say let them sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697735 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:16:37 +0000 Madison43 2697735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. My 16 month old is still waffling between one and two naps. She has had a string of really early wake ups (5:30) and if that happens, she definitely needs 2. If she sleeps in to her normal wake up (6:30), she's ok with one. This past Sunday, I aimed for one nap, but she woke up after an hour and I ended up putting her down for a 30 min cat nap at 5 pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697732 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:15:16 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2697732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is 18m today and really just in the last couple of weeks he's been ready for one nap. He likes his sleep A LOT and at 16m he could do one nap if it was really long like you said, but he was definitely not ready for that every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697730 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:14:14 +0000 SweetiePie 2697730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was on 2 naps till 18 months! It's not crazy.<br /> 15 months is only the average age to drop to 1 nap. Some earlier some later.<br /> You may have some days where it seems like 1 is too little but 2 is too many.<br /> What time is that 3hour nap? Morning? Is it possible that LO isn't getting enough overnight sleep so they're compensating with that long morning nap?</p> <p>You can try cutting the nap short in order to still fit a 2nd nap in and keep the same general schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-still-needs-2-napsok#post-2697709 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 14:53:40 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2697709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else's LO still not drop to one nap at about 16m? Sometimes he will take one long one (3 hrs) and I refuse to give him a second. Sometimes he does ok but if he woke up the night before he is FUSSY for a nap!</p> <p>My older child was nap resistant but I'm feeling sort of paranoid about why this is happening. He seems too old for this. I think teething is a factor for his night wake ups but still, I feel like he should be switching to one soon! </p>
