What age did your child drop to 1 nap?

[Findahouse21]

Can you please tell me what age your child dropped to 1 nap, especially if they were quite early to do so? Dd (8 months) has always been a terrible napper, but seems to nap better when having only1 nap. If I force 2 then sometimes she won't have 2nd at all, so her daytime sleep is only 30 minutes total, whereas if I let her have a later nap she'll only have 1 but it can be up to 90 minutes.

DS was probably 18 months.
DD has never ever in her whole 4 years napped in the daytime, even as a newborn and was about 4 months before she slept in longer than 20 minutes at a time during the night.

If one bap works best just go for it there is no right or wrong here.

*nap

Dd1 about 2.5!!

Dd2 at 12 months. She was much happier having a longer lunchtime nap

11/12 months.. took a while to adjust to the one nap as it really messed up sleep patterns for a month or 2

All 3 of ours between 10 and 12 months

13m I think

I can't remember, but if one nap works best then you should stick with that!

I wasted way too much time worrying about routines and nap timings when dd was that age.

About 12 months, but she stuck her usual limit of 28 minutes for a good month afterwards until she figured out that she’d be less tired if she napped for a bit longer.

DD went down to 1 nap (around 1.5 hrs) at around 9 months and is still having it at 18 months.

She did start sleeping through from about 6months, so that may have something to do with it.

About 13 months I think. She's almost 20 months now and still has a two hour nap in the middle of the day. I'm dreading the day she her nap entirely, my sanity lies in those two hours 😅

I had one great sleeper and one not so much.

DD slept through the night from 4 months and went down to one nap a day at around 8 months. She stopped napping all together just before she turned 2.

DS didn't sleep through the night for the first two years but napped loads during the day instead. I think he napped twice a day until he was almost one and a half and did one nap until he was almost 4!

15 months

13 months when I went back to work and she went to the childminder. We are currently going through the 1 nap to no nap phase and it is challenging! If she naps she’s wide awake until 10pm, if she doesn’t nap she’s over tired and is awake until 10!

About 10/11 months. Then dropped naps completely at about 18m. Then came a hellish six months where he didn't sleep in the day OR at night.

11ish months (when we were in holiday...joy) although it's not consistent and depends what time DS wakes up and what he's doing (he's nearly 13 months now). I realised when I was fighting for longer to get him to have a second nap than he was actually napping for that the whole thing was ridiculous! Now we're just led by him and when he seems tired.

15 months but only because daycare forced it when she moved up a room. Would still occasionally have one at home at the weekend until about 18 months.

Around 8-9 months, both mine went from 2x 45/60m naps at 11ish and 3ish to 1x 2.5 hr at 1pm straight after lunch.

Ds was about 18mths.
Dd was just after 12mths - although she did revert back to two for a few weeks (fell asleep during morning school run) but was definitely down to one by 18mths.

Around 14-15 months I think

Around 15 months

17 months.

At 8 months we had three naps, 30min at 9am, 1 1/2 hr at 1pm and a power nap at 4.30pm most days.

She dropped to 2 naps of 90 min each at around 1 year.

She still napped when she was 3-4 and still loves snuggling in bed after lunch on a weekend and is now 13.

The girls loves to sleep during the day but was always an early riser.

Both were about 15 months when they transitioned to 1 nap.

I can't remember when she went to one nap but dd2 dropped all her daytime naps by 18 months! she still doesn't need much sleep at 14

8 months
