When did your 30 min napper drop from 3 to 2 naps a day?

Our 8mo has generally always napped for 30 mins 3 tines a day. But recently his nap times and lengths seem to be getting unpredictable. Sometimes he can nap for 90 mins, and if he does that twice he can get away with just 2 naps a day.

Just wondering when your DC did this, and if I should be expecting 2 instead of 3 naps in the near future? TIA

9 months. 45 mins in the morning and 2 hours after lunch

Grin Just in the same boat here!

It must've been around seven months I think, she went down to one nap really early, at nine months and it was only after that she'd reliably do two hours in her cot, it was amazing!

Watching with interest - my DS2 who is 6mo today has three naps about 30/35 min long. I hate naps. Wish he'd nap longer so he'd have just 2.

DS1 had 3 x 45min til he was 7 mo when one day to the next he slept 1.5hrs for his first nap and went down to 2.

Here's hoping....

Exactly the same here, 2 long or 3 short naps at 8.5 months.

About 18 months! At 18 months they both still napped 3 naps at 1-3 hrs each nap. 2 years for 2 naps. Ds1 still naps at 5 if he can

Our DD is 9mo and has only recently dropped to 2 naps (from 3 x 45mins), sometimes 45mins or less, others 1-2 hours! So yes, unpredictable. Seems to have coincided with dropping one of her daytime bottles.

My 10.5 month old dd gets by on 2 30/40 min naps a day I really wish she would have longer naps!
