Both my boys dropped to 1 sleep not long after turning 1.
Lachlans 2 naps a day were getting shorter ie approx 40 mins for each nap, so I wasn't really getting a break. So I decided how he would go if I could keep him up to 11am. Playgroup helped this as he would go down for his first nap @ 9am but we had to go to playgroup.
So he started going to bed as soon as we got home from playgroup, and slept for a good 2-3 hours. I then decided to keep him up till 7pm (his bed time) as if he was to have another nap he would be up late and I didn't want to start doing that. He did get cranky around 5pm but it was tea time anyway and that would keep him quiet, then bath, pyjamas and bed 30mins later.
Now a few months on he is still going down for his nap basically straight after playgroup or on a non playgroup day usually after he has had his lunch. His naps are getting a bit shorter again now though, but still anywhere from 1.5 - 2 hours. Sometimes only 40 mins as well but thankfully not that often.
Kameron had given up daytime naps by the time Lachlan was born at 2.5yrs old.
