Just curious! Seems like some LOs always have 1 nap that's shorter and that's the one they drop. DD mostly has 1 long and 1 short nap too, but they can flip flop so I really won't know!

I guess LO sort of dropped her am nap, but I voted other because it's more like her morning nap was just pushed back a little later. Like, instead of napping at 9 and 2, she naps at 11.

LO's morning nap was always the longer, better nap when we were on the two nap schedule. Eventually he stopped falling asleep for his afternoon nap. He would just talk and kick and play with his animals for an hour or so. After that stuck around a couple weeks we decided we had to move his morning nap later. We did it cold turkey, since he wasn't even catnapping in the afternoon anymore. It took him a while to adjust, but now he naps for two-ish hours mid day.

Well, she's a daycare kid so they kind of made the transition for her. She dropped her AM nap and kept the PM nap.
-
lo always took a good am nap but started fighting the pm nap for a while before we make the switch. it got to the point where it wasn't even worth it to try to get him to nap, when he'd take forever to go down and only sleep for 30-40 min.
I switched him to one nap at 13 months, cold turkey as well. he did fine, although even now he will fall asleep in the car if we're out in the morning. He doesn't nap that long anymore though. 1.5 hours usually. -
I think sometimes the kid will still take a morning nap fine, but it ends up interfering/affecting the afternoon nap. Since most people end up with one afternoon nap, it makes the most sense then to cut out/shorten the morning one (even if they were still doing fine for it) so that LO is actually tired for the afternoon one!
I do know people who have a full-time nanny whose kids nap at a (to me) random time like 11a-2p. But my oldest was in daycare and the one-nap schedule there was 1-3p, so we kept that for LO2 too.

She dropped the PM nap but we moved the AM nap later. She went from napping at like 9 and 3 to napping at 11:30.

The morning one.
-
My first - his morning nap kept getting later and later making the second nap pretty impossible. So we switched to the pm nap around 14 months.
-
My son dropped his afternoon nap at 11 months - I kept trying and trying, but he would just play in his crib for an hour in the afternoon no matter what time I put him down. So he kept just the morning nap which I gradually made later and later everyday, until he was able to handle the extra awake time on one nap.
