When did you kids start having 1 nap? Sophie has decided that she doesnt need an afternoon nap and has been staying up. I think she still needs it though because when 5pm comes she is exhausted and crying her eyes out. So i was just wondering when did your kids start having only one nap x
My two moved to one nap at about 19 months. I varies for all children, but most books say sometime between one and two. (We eliminated the AM nap and just did one right after lunch). Now my kids are fighting me on the 1 nap (I'm not ready!!!!) but they will then fall asleep at around 3:30 or 4 which is no good for bedtime.
I thought our 2-nap days were numbered just after their bday. After about 2-3 weeks, the phase ended and they are happily snuggling in for both naps like clockwork. I'm going to ride it out as long as possible.
Daniel and Joshua have been down to one nap for over a month now. They tried to go to one nap at 13 months but went back to 2 naps and then at 15 months they are down to one nap. The one nap lasts from 2 to 3 hours.
13-15 months. It was a long transition where some days they took one others they took two. In retrospect I think we started too early, but if I let them nap in the mornings, they would never nap in the afternoons. It was very frustrating.
