When do they drop to one nap?

[NoTeaForMe]

Hi all,

When did your little one drop down to one nap? Do they always have this one nap in the afternoon?

Thanks

DD1 was around 10 months and her nap was around 11 am.

DD2 dropped hers a bit later may be 13/14 months, it started around 11 too but is now around 13h, sometimes later (she is 18 mo).

Thanks Le. How long were/are there naps?

[LeMousquetaireAnonyme]

DD1 was up to 5 h (lucky me!)

DD2 is between 30 min to max 2h but she is happy with that.

I am for "the not waking a sleeping baby" rule. I do have to pick up DD2 for the school run though, may be that is why she is sleeping less, but IMO it really depends on the child.

Crikey! 5 hours?! What did you do for lunch?

At the moment my daughter (10 months) has 2 hours split between 2 naps. With a longer nap in the morning and a smaller one in the afternoon. Just wondering when this changes really!

I know some 18 mo who still have 2 naps, it really depends, very helpful I know!

early lunch, late lunch or even skip it, I am flexible

DS dropped to one nap at 12 months (ish).
He is now 15m and naps from 12:30pm-2:30pm roughly.

My LO is 14 months and is just in the process of dropping her morning nap. Somedays she sleeps for about an hour in the morning and a bit longer in the afternoon and other days she has just one long nap (2 hours) in the afternoon, usually if we've slept in a bit later that morning.
