When drop down to one nap?

My twins are 11mo and nap between 9am - 10am (anything from 30mins to an hour) and then from 1.30pm - 3pm. I’m assuming at some point they will drop the morning nap, when should I expect this roughly to phase out? Thanks

My 16 month old dropped a nap recently. He's a bit wild and cannot be tamed, so never had a nap routine. Occasionally he still has 2, but mostly 1.

I can't remember exactly when but had DD dropped to one nap by her first birthday (I can remember planning her little birthday gathering around her one nap). I think this is relatively early though and might have come about from her following the example of older children at the childminder's.

She's 15 months now and a couple of weeks ago she was unwell and went back to two shorter naps a day so it doesn't seem to be absolutely set yet.

My 10 month old still sleeps 9-10 and 1.30-3 but my older 2 went down to one nap around 13-15 months.

Mine dropped morning nap when they struggled to go down for their pm nap.
Both were around 14 months i think. We had to bring lunch time nap earlier until they adjusted or they would nod off in their lunch.

Mine was better with just one from 10 mo

But then I stopped napping at all at 10 mo

DS randomly decided to drop his second nap on his first birthday exactly. He refused his afternoon one and that was that. There are still days at 14 months we have two- If he gets up super early or if we are out all day he will generally have 2 as he only sleeps for about 50 mins max in the pram in car so is more tired/nods of quicker. Most of the time at the moment though he naps at about 11/11.30 normally for about 2 hours. Sometimes I have to wake him after 2.5 hours if we have somewhere to be.
