My 9 month old takes two naps a day- one at 9:30ish for about 45 minutes to an hour and a second nap at 1:30ish for about an hour and a half. Recently she has stopped showing tired signs for the second nap and after a period of time I put her down anyway and she easily falls asleep. When she wakes up from this nap she's often cranky. Any thoughts? When did your LO drop their second nap?

She dropped it right after she turned one. She just stopped taking her second nap so I moved her first and now only to the afternoon.

Around 13 months. Generally before babies still need both b/c their max wake up times aren't long enough to get them through just having 1 nap a day.

When I had my older daughter, I wanted her to be down to one nap when she started daycare. So that was my goal. But when she was about 7 months old she was taking two 20 minute naps a day. Not even long enough for me to have a shower, really. My MIL suggested transitioning her, and I totally flipped out. It seemed too early. I wasn't ready for a 'big girl' around here yet!
Anyhow, we did it and suddenly, her 20 minute naps turned in to one 3-4 hour long nap a day! SCORE!
She is now 3.5 and still naps about 3 times a week(ish) for about 2 hours at a time.

He's been trying to drop the second nap since about 14 months. Now at 16 months he's mostly at 1 nap, we just go day by day and adjust accordingly.

Between 13-14 months

He is 1 today and still napping two times

for us, LO transitioned from three 1 hr naps to two 1.5 hour naps around 7-8 months. At 12 months right now he's still going strong with the two 1.5 hour naps --- although i have noticed that if push comes to shove he is ok with skipping his 2nd nap, or cutting it short.
for my sanity i hope he keeps the 2 naps as long as possible! just our experience!
