One Nap?

My son went to 1 nap at 11 months. We did it because he was getting up at 3 am and not going back to sleep. Removing the nap made him tired enough that he would sleep through the night again.

He is completely old enough to go to one nap per day. If he were in child care they would already be working with him to get to just one. When they turn 1 and move up to the next class they only get one nap. They would also be moving him to a cot to sleep so when he moved up he would not have a hard time suddenly going to a cot in the next room. He is a good age to start thinking about moving to the toddler bed. The younger they move the easier it is. All mine started napping in their toddler beds around 14 months and were in them full time by 18 months. By age 3 they were in their childhood beds full time too.

My first lo was taking 1 nap by 12 months, all her choice. My second lo started at 15 months but probably could have dropped it earlier. I thought sshe was tired at 10am and was really gonna be crabby when I kept her up later but she didn't care at all. She would be yawning a bunch but didn't miss that 1st nap at all. I pushed lunch up at1145 and she goes down at 1230 and does fine. If he is sleeping 12 hours at night he could probably easily drop the first nap. You may have to put him to bed earlier for a while depending on how long his one nap is.

My daughter is 22 months and she just transitioned to one nap in the last month. She was like your son and needed her morning nap. She was usually out by 10 or 10:30 and slept for about an hour in the mornings and then she would go down again around 3 - 3:30 for another hour to an hour and a half. She decided on her own that she was no longer going to sleep in the mornings. She would get really tired and start showing her regular 'Im ready for a nap' signs so I would put her to bed and she would be up again in 15 mins so I just started keeping her up in the mronings and then feeding her lunch early so that she would go down for her one nap at about 12:30pm. Its been working very very well for us until today ironically =)
We are having work done on the outside of our house and luckily for me they waited just until she was nice and asleep to start freakin jack hammering out there Grrrr - So after a 45 min nap she is now up until bedtime. Yahhhhhh she will be so pleasant this afternoon =)

Both of my kids stopped napping at 18months old, so I have no idea when you should go from two to one nap. However, you're the mom, so you will know when it's the right time.
First: to switch him from two to one nap, try to keep him up past his normal first nap time for as long as possible. It will take a couple of weeks and you might have a crabby kid at times. But once his body gets used to staying awake longer in the morning and having one big nap later, he'll be fine.
After my kids stopped taking naps, I started doing "quiet time" after lunch. They would go in my bed, lay down and watch a movie. That hour or two of quiet time really helped keep them not crabby and me still sane. You might try this during the transition phase. He might not need a nap, he might just need a little quiet to keep him happy and not crabby. A little quiet time really goes a long way. Good luck!

I don't remember exactly, but I would guess around 12-18 months.

I am a huge believer in sleep, and I think most parents give up naps too soon. But ultimately it is about the Total number of hours in a day for sleep and how he functions. If he does okay without a morning nap, Just try a nap around 11 and I bet he sleeps for 3 hours.

Most kids move to one nap around 12 noon. And eventually, you will push that nap to about 2pm when he is 2-3 years old. My kids stopped napping around 4.

My son dropped his morning nap before he was a year old. Sucked ;) Even with 1 nap, it was a struggle for a while, trying to find that happy medium. Some days he still really needed 2 naps, which I'd let him do, but it took a while until he settled into a happy 1 nap routine. Now, he takes 1 afternoon nap around 1pm, which lasts 1-2 hours. I think your kiddo is done with that morning nap ;) Good luck!

start shifting his times by 15 minute increments. He won't notice it that way. How is he sleeping 12 hours at night and being so tired at 9am? maybe start keeping him up a little bit later at night. so that his 12 hours start at 7pm instead of 6? if you can work it around to where he does the nap from say 10-12 then another one alittle bit later that might work. my son at that age took about an hour in hte morning and then a long almost 3 hour one in the afternoon. good luck

Our little one (10 months) has never napped well. After 20 minutes, he pops up despite our best efforts. I find that if I sit in his room during that crucial first 20 minutes, I can catch him as he starts to wake himself up. I can get him to go back to sleep very easily. If, however, I am somewhere else in the house, then I can't get to him fast enough and he completely wakes himself up. Perhaps trying catching him and getting him back to sleep before abandoning the second nap.
