Transitioning to Less Naps

[ezramedic]

At what age did your kids transition from two naps a day to one?

Everything I have read says it seems to be around 12 months.

Did anyone else's baby do this earlier?

I just can't figure my son out. He has bags under his eyes, is rubbing his eyes, but seems to only want to take one nap a day.

He is a great night sleeper. Usually averaging at least 10 1/2 hours straight through - even up to 12, if he's really tired.

He recently learnt to pull up to standing and we thought that the novelty of standing was what was disrupting his sleep - but we're just not sure. He took two naps, happily, on Sunday. But then yesterday and today..:

Can you tell I'm really unsure and struggling?

Silas started 1 nap right around 2 months..
But he sleeps 11 hours at night so I can't complain I guess..

My youngest who is almost 9 months takes 1, 4 hour nap in the afternoon. My other boys did the same thing also.

the girls started taking 2 hour and a half naps around 5 months... and then around 13 months I turned it into one two hour nap.

Maybe you just have to re-adjust when he goes down for a nap. And sometimes when they are sleeping really good at night they dont need naps as long or as often. I would try changing the times he goes down before going to one nap.

DS1 went to one nap right around a year... it was when he moved to the 1 year old room at daycare.

Bailey is 18 months and has only been taking one nap a day for many months.
