My DD is 22 months old, I have another DD2 11 weeks old.
She usually naps 2 hours after lunch but sometimes dosn't seem tired and stays awke all day but goes off to bed fine.
When did yours stop napping or napping everyday at least.

My dd didn't stop having a 2 hour sleep until she started at nursery when she was 2.9. My friends' babies were anywhere from around 18 months up to over 3 when they stopped.

It's really variable. DD1 continued to have a 2 hour nap until she was about 2.9, however DD2 (now 23 months) is clearly ready to start dropping her lunch time nap. If she has the nap she'll often stay awake until 8.30 / 9pm running around in her room which drives me MAD. I've recently started only putting her down for a nap every other day or so and she's fine on the days she doesn't nap and her bed time has improved dramatically. I desperately want the break of her afternoon nap though, especially as I have another baby on the way. I just assumed she'd be like DD1, but she's not - she's never really needed as much sleep as DD1 did.

DD stopped around Christmas (26 months)...although she will still nap in the afternoon if persuaded. Trouble is, she's usually then more difficult to get to sleep in the evening.

DS needs a nap in the afternoon - he's 2.7 and will sleep for 2 hours
