LO1 was 20 months before she went to one map.

Curious to see what others say. DD is 17 months and definitely still needs two naps a day. She sleeps 11/11.5 hours overnight, her morning nap is 1.5/2 hours, and her afternoon nap is at least 2 hours. Whenever we try to push a nap she cries and drags us to her room and tries to climb in her crib. So yeah, I don't see her dropping to one anytime soon.

Yes, I kept my son on two naps well into his second year. He was close to 2 when we switched to one nap.

LO was on 1 nap a day at her part-time daycare around 11 months or so (I think...) but still needed 2 naps until about 18 months on days that she was home, so 4x/week. Sometimes she still takes her first nap really early when she's home! Like, last weekend she fell asleep at 10:30 one day

Your experience sounds exactly like ours. His wake time got to be like 3-4 hours so his 2nd nap eventually got too late and we pushed ahead with 1 nap!
I commented in your thread yesterday so some of this is me being repetitive, sorry!
He's now 20 months. We switched to 1 nap 80% of the time at 18 months, but we struggled to find the right balance (1 nap vs 2 naps) for a couple months before that. MOST days he's ok with taking 1 nap. I try not to do more than 5 hours awake; at least in the first part of the day. He does better on a longer stretch in the 2nd half after his nap. So if he wakes at 6am, nap is 11. 7am, nap is 12.
BUT some mornings he is insanely cranky so I can still put him down for a 9am nap no problem. He is 20 months now and I just think he's higher sleep needs than most. He could still easily take 2 naps if it didn't screw with our day so much. But he's MOSTLY ok with 1 nap, as long as there's a lot to entertain him in the morning. So that's when I have long classes scheduled (1.5 hours plus travel time takes up a good 2 hours), go out to breakfast, playground, walks, grocery shop, visit a friend...we really have to have lots planned to make it to 11/12 without a meltdown.

Oh and we take advantage of 2 naps where we can. Like if on a Saturday we have a birthday party or want to go to the zoo around noon, we give him a 9am nap. Then the later afternoon will be a catnap. He does fine with it and I feel better about that than skipping a nap all together.

I'm typing this while half watching TV so I hope it made sense!
