How do I transition my baby from two naps to one?

1. Move first nap later again by 30 minutes (i.e. Nap 1: 10:30am ➝ 11:00am)
2. Keep second nap at the time it’s currently set for (i.e. Nap 2: 3:30pm stays at 3:30pm)
3. Offer second nap only for 15-20 minutes; if your child is protesting and you reach about the 20 minute mark, call off the second nap — but be sure to do step 4.

At what age do babies stop taking naps?

Can my 11 month old take one nap?

I find that although an 11-12 month old may begin to transition to one nap, they seem to go backward and get tired sooner, again, a few weeks later. This could be due to physical energy they’re using or mental. So, you may want to hold on to those two naps for a bit longer before you push your baby too soon.

What age do toddlers go from 2 naps to 1?

When do babies transition to one nap? Most babies drop the second nap between 12 and 24 months. But be aware, this transition period is often rocky. Some toddlers drop the morning nap, some the afternoon nap…and others alternate (one day they nap in the morning, the next day in the afternoon)!

Should I let my toddler nap longer than 2 hours?

Naps are too long Except for newborns, your baby or toddler’s napping should not surpass 3 hours total for a day, on average. Of course, there will be exceptions, but many times if naps get too long during the day, it will impact night sleep, since the amount of total sleep in a day will remain relatively constant.
