LO dropped his right around 15.5 months. He would take his morning nap fine but fought his afternoon nap. It took about 1-1.5 months to really get settled in his new routine. He still can't go more than like 5, 5.5 hours in the morning before his nap, so instead of the typical 1pm nap, he naps at 11:30. He also only naps for about 1.5 hours, but generally wakes up happy so I go with it. Maybe try pushing it back little by little? Or let her nap when she's tired, but then do a really early bedtime--8-9 hours is waaay too long for her to be up! If she only takes the morning nap I would for sure put her to bed early that night.

That being said, I would also keep trying the 2nd nap for a while longer(maybe a stroller nap or ergo nap)--she seems really young to drop to 1 nap.

Right around 12.5 months

M started the 1 nap transition around 11 months, and was fully on 1 nap by 13ish months. She started fighting the afternoon nap a ton, but still went down fine for morning nap. What I did for awhile was limiting the morning nap to 30-45 minutes only, so she would be tired enough to take an afternoon nap. When that stopped working (she wasn't really getting tired for morning nap anymore, and even if she did only nap for 45 minutes she would still fight afternoon nap), we just went to 1 nap. It probably helped a little that she started at daycare at 11 months and would ONLY take 1 nap there no matter what our provider tried. I don't really think 14 months is too early for 1 nap, but I would try to keep doing 2 for as long as you can. I'd try all the things @hilsy85 suggested. DEF early bedtime if she skips 2nd nap and try stroller/ergo for 2nd nap.

11 months? I just decided to stop fighting it and that was that!

12.5 months she was solidly on 1 nap, but she went down easily for her morning nap so I had the same confusion you did. I had to really change my mindset about mornings and get her out and about first thing. It's hard at first but it gets better! Shortening her morning nap didn't work for us FWIW. That's why I fought the transition so hard! But now it really is better!

Somewhere around 12 months we stopped being able to do 2 naps on the weekend. At 15 months she only does one nap 90% of the weekends (random days she needs 2), but she's still doing 2 at daycare. Daycare just brought up that she thinks L is ready for 1 nap at daycare. So, probably another month or two before she's exclusively on a one-nap schedule.

Following...LO has been taking very long morning naps but shorter afternoon naps. We're still not sure if she is in the midst of the transition.

13-14 months old or so. It was a bit tough for awhile until we figured it out. Now, he stays up from his morning wakeup until about 12-1pm. After that, he naps. He's usually up about 4-5 hours before bedtime which is perfect timing. We've taken to scheduling events from before 12:30pm and after his nap time on the weekends.

18 months!

it took about a month to transition (months 17-18).

At 12 months he was forced to go to one nap at daycare when he transitioned rooms. He still took 2 naps on the weekends for a month or two then we finally got him on the same schedule as daycare.
