My son is only taking one nap a day. He would sleep for 2-3 hours and which meant there would be no other nap. So I went with it and allowed him to sleep longer for his nap time. It was rough at first on me because I was used to multiple naps throughout the day. I also used this to sleep train him, so he goes down easy for nap time.

My girl is 1 and she still needs the 2 naps a day. She’ll be pretty fussy if we go past her nap times. If she’s not tired, she’ll sometimes just sit by herself in her crib and seems to enjoy the alone time.

I thought my son was ready for the 1 nap schedule because he was refusing his morning nap for about a week. He had all the signs of that 2 down to 1 nap transition. So I let him stay up and he caved in after 3.25 hrs lol. It turns out that he still needs the 2 naps but just longer wake windows. Everyone talks about going down to 1 nap but forgets talking about discussing trying longer wake windows first before eliminating the nap all together.

@Sophia how do you do that with still having an early bedtime? Bedtime is the worst for us and I'm trying to find out what is causing it

Yep. 1 nap. Usually at 2pm for 2 hrs.

she’s flip flopping right now, 70% of the time is 2 naps .. she would skip her first nap sometimes but she’s not completely ready because she still has about 30/45 minutes of wake time I can add to her day before she can drop to one nap for good

From 9months until 1 year old he didn’t take but maybe 1 nap a day and would play; he is full of energy but now he takes 2 sometimes 3 naps

So the one nap wasn’t really my choice. She gets a nap at school after lunch and sleeps anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours. She’ll take a short nap if she’s super tired on our ride home from school she’s only been on that schedule for one week so if she does nap closer to bedtime it’s for like 30 minutes to an hour and I wake her up intentionally. Otherwise, we’d be up all night with me struggling to stay awake lol.
Do what you feel is best for your baby. On the weekends, we are doing two shorter naps.
