When did your toddler drop their naps?

[Margo34]

Exactly that really. How old were your DC when they stopped day naps?

DD was just turned 3. DS is 2.3 and still napping.

Middle child was 4 , DC1 was catnapping from 15-18 months, DC3 was also not reliably napping from that age but did usually have a sleep on school run.

About 20 months

DC1 was 2.5
DC2 was over 4!
DC3 was just turned 3

Almost 3 and napping as I type this. Long may it last.

DC1 just turned two. DC2 was 3.5.

Eldest: 2 years 10 months (but had already dropped 3/week at nursery)
middle child - not sure but around that
Youngest: also 2 years 10 months but we’d been down to every other day for 6 weeks or so

2y3m exactly for DD. One day she slept for 2hrs, the next she laid in her cot chatting. After a few days we gave up.

2y2m for DS. He started giving it up on the first day of lockdown but had one every couple of days until it was finally over... on the day DD went back to school!

About 2 years 8 months

About 2.5. She’ll still fall asleep in the car sometimes though at 4.5.

4! And she she still loves a nap now as a teen!

Mine stopped daily naps around 2. They would typically still nap at nursery 3-4 times a week, but we’d ask nursery to cap their naps at 45 minutes, otherwise they’d still be bouncing off the walls at 9:30pm! (Normal bedtime was 7:45/8). We didn’t have them nap on weekends.

DCs are now 5 and 3.5. They’ll both nap occasionally in the car on a long journey, or take themselves to bed at 6pm if they’re particularly tired or unwell.

2.5yrs completely (naps started declining after 2)

18 months or thereabouts

Just before 3rd birthday. Anecdotally I’ve seen a lot of kids go through a nap resisting phase around 2 (inc mine) but totally worth pushing through that.

Ds is 2.4 years. Since turning 2 years he hasn’t had one every day. He naps maybe 2-3 days a week now, and only if in pram or car.

DC1 days after his second birthday.
DV2 - 3 and a bit, iirc.

13 months!

A bit over 2. He was always a nap resister but at that point it became clear that if he napped for even half an hour at any point in the day he wouldn't go to bed until 9-10 pm, so we dropped the nap to save our evenings and our sanity!

DD - over 3 and probably would have kept on if it weren’t for school nursery having no nap provision, still enjoys a car nap at age 5

DS - is 18MO and down to a single 20-30 minute nap, but can and does power through without somedays so I reckon it’ll be gone completely very soon

My DC1 is 23m and seems to be dropping the nap. I'm not ready 😭 Nap time is my happy hour (and a half)!!!

😱

Not heard of this before, I will Google and pray this is the case for us 🙏

My first around 2. My second 3 1/2!

I found it was much easier when I didn't have to factor in naptime anymore, wouldn't have wanted to prolong it. DS started sleeping longer at night as well.
