When does my baby/toddler drop to one nap? How many naps should they be having at 18 months? This typically occurs about 12-18 months but from my experience working with families, I find it’s closer to 12-14 months. There are two key signs that your little one is ready to drop to one nap:
- Having a morning nap means they aren’t tired post lunch and they push their afternoon nap later. This means the nap finishes later and they aren’t tired enough at their usual bedtime.
- Their morning nap covers their sleep needs for the day and they drop their afternoon nap altogether as they just aren’t tired at lunchtime. But it’s too long a stretch until bedtime which means they are grumpy and can’t make it to bedtime.
