At home she still takes 2 but they are 60-80 mins. If she wasn't in daycare I would t mess with it, but we're trying to work toward it now for consistency. She sleeps 12 hrs at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467158 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:57:11 +0000 Mrs. D 2467158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m not sure, but I'm pretty sure it was close to a year. Probably when she started daycare. But at 2.5 we dropped the second nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467153 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:55:16 +0000 MrsSRS 2467153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 months. Hurray for getting through my first trimester exhaustion with that glorious double nap schedule still intact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467131 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:41:06 +0000 MrsF 2467131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're transition now at almost 15 months but only because he was refusing his second nap - which was making him crazy over tired so he couldn't fall asleep at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467090 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:12:12 +0000 BabyTsMom 2467090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like there is a huge range of when babies transition. if your LO seems totally fine on to naps, why rock the boat? Fwiw, we transitioned at 14 months because, like many others, my LO started fighting the second nap big time. I would've held onto two naps, though, if he wasn't fighting it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467086 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:10:56 +0000 hilsy85 2467086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months because he just started flat out refusing the 2nd nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2467082 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:07:43 +0000 SweetiePie 2467082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 months over here and we've adjusted his schedule a little, but he's still on 2 naps. </p> <p>I read a lot about this topic and everything I read said to hang on to 2 naps as long as you can, and not to react with "he must be transitioning to 1 nap" because he has a couple of bad nap days. It COULD be that they're ready for 1 nap...but It could just be a regression....which happened to us around 15 months. I was sure he was ready for 1 nap (and so bummed) but I decided to try and remain consistent and just as quickly as he started resisting naps he went back to two 1.5-2 hour naps a day. At this time I wake him up at 45 mins for the first nap then he takes a 2-3 hour 2nd nap. It works extremely well for us. I do think that we will be ready for 1 nap soon because his 2nd nap is awesome since we started cutting the 1st nap short. But there's no way he could to 7-12 without at least some quiet time in his crib. So I'm trying to figure out how to do that eventually.<br /> Bottom line, even at 15 months, if you are happy with 2 naps and baby is happy with 2 naps, there's no reason to force a transition. </p> <p>Here is the most helpful thing I found:<br /> <a href="http://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-naps-2/how-to-manage-baby-toddler-nap-transitions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-naps-2/how-to-manage-baby-toddler-nap-transitions/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466899 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:17:42 +0000 fussygal 2466899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned around 17 months. I think she was ready a little before, but for various reasons we put it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466845 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:37:54 +0000 gingerbebe 2466845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started the transition around 11 months because he started fighting the PM nap. So we were gradually pushing and shortening the morning nap. It was SOOO annoying. This went on for like 3 months. We made the switch at 14 months and it took a few weeks for him to adjust to a new lunch time and for his body to stop pooping mid-nap, but by 15 months we were in a good groove. He usually naps about 2 hours at daycare now, but still naps 2.5-3 hours at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466824 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:23:23 +0000 youboots 2466824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dropped it at 9 months- now she is STTN.

LO1 gave up his second nap at 10 months! Hoping LO2 gives us a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466782 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:57:43 +0000 Alba4 2466782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We followed daycare, @15/16 months we transitioned to 1 nap. He was still happy taking 2 naps and would regularly fall asleep in the car on our morning outing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466715 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:28:30 +0000 jape14 2466715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started transitioning around 16 months and he was on 1 nap solidly by 17 months. The biggest clue that he was ready was that our usually-early riser started sleeping in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466710 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:27:39 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2466710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around the time he turned 1 but he transitioned himself by starting to refuse the second nap everyday. I wanted to keep two naps a little longer but he wasn't having it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466704 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:24:45 +0000 LBee 2466704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months later and we are still on 2 naps. I assume by college we will probably be down to 1. He just can't make it on 1 nap - he's a disaster. We do have to limit his morning nap to 1 hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-switch-to-1-nap#post-2466700 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:23:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2466700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17mo!

I don't see it happening anytime soon, she LOVES sleep right now. She still doing 2 2-2 1/2 hour naps plus sleeping 12 hours at night at 11 months. I'm guessing around 15 months if its still going on we will start to transition her? When did you do it? </p>
