My LO started fighting going down for both of her naps at 11 months. It was taking her an increasingly long time to fall asleep. Then she wasn't ready to wake up at her normal wakeup time and I had to either wake her from a short nap or let her sleep and that pushed back our whole day. I stuck with it for a month hoping she would snap out of it. But nope. So at 12 mo I gave up and moved her to one nap and she started falling asleep fast and having long naps again.

I think I started the transition around 16 or 17 months. I wanted her to be on 1 nap by the time the baby came when she was 18 months. There were a few periods before 16/17 months where I questioned if I should do it earlier, but ultimately, I knew she would still benefit from 2 naps.

dd - 19 months. i forced it a bit as she was going to daycare full time and would have to only nap once a day there.
ds - 14-15 months. he was having trouble falling asleep for his afternoon nap even if he took a short morning nap. it took a couple weeks of mostly 1 naps sometimes 2 nap days until he transitioned fully to 1 nap.

14 months. He had been fighting the second nap for a couple of months and I was tired of it. He seemed fine staying up longer in the morning, as long as he wasn't in the car. At first it was really nice- I could rely on 2-2.5 hour naps. Now at 18 months, he usually only naps 1.5 hours. Oh well.

Around 14 months for us. He would nap for 20 mins in the morning then refuse to nap the rest of the day.
