When to drop a nap?
How do you know when it’s time to drop a nap?
My LO is 6.5 months old and has been doing 3 naps a day totalling around 3.5 hours daytime sleep, but I see that at 7 months babies can drop down to 2 naps. When do you know when is the right time to do this?

Fighting naps and disturbed night time sleep! X
My boy had his first 2 nap day yesterday because he randomly decided he needed a really long morning nap! He slept 9:45-midday. So I then kept up til 3ish and his second nap was a decent length too, 3:15-4:40. So then kept him up til bed time at 7:30 Think he's back to a 3 nap day today, he's having his usual lunchtime nap right now. Dunno if yesterday was a blip or what 🤷🏼♀️

The normal range is 7-9 months though if you have a strong independent sleeper they are likely to do it earlier, both my babies have done it just before 7 months. Wake windows get longer and naps get shorter and you have trouble fitting 3 into the day without bedtime being pushed too late. https://huckleberrycare.com/blog/3-to-2-nap-transition
