Was 1 nap successful at first? Did it take time?

[Madallie]

Have posted a few times about this transition before.

DD is 12mo so I know on the young side to drop a nap but it was taking an hour to go down for pm and we were then having to wake her after only 30/40mins in order to still get her in bed for a reasonable time.

Anyway, took the plunge, 1 nap. Thought it might be longer than the sum of her 2 previous naps but it wasn't. Was only 1hr 15mins as opposed to an average of 2hrs across 2 naps. She coped pretty well today. Didn't seem too tired at any point and went straight to sleep at 6.45pm.

I'm just wondering whether any of you have found, that when babies first transition to 1 nap, it takes a while for your them to start sleeping longer for that? Or was it staright away for yours?

DD never really lengthened her morning nap, she just dropped the afternoon one.

Thanks kirrin. Maybe my dd will be like this too!

How old was your dd when this happened and what was the length of her nap? If you don't mind me asking?

Sorry - i've only just seen this .

She was about 15 months i think and her nap is between 1 and a half to 2 hours in the morning and 45 mins in the afternoon.

Don't worry, as she gets older she will get more physically worn out from being more active and then she will increase her nap time. Especially if you get her running around/outside during the morning.
