    My sisters 3 kids all stopped daytime naps at 18mths old, but they always slept really well at night, so I guess its different for them all!

    Wow, cant imagine having a 4-5yr old who naps!

    DS dropped his day sleep at about 21 months. Not sure if it had anything to do with starting childcare twice a week and deciding he could be busy instead! He still has one if he's had a very busy morning, but mainly not.

    My DS tried to drop his sleep when his sister came along (2yrs 2months) - but I worked out he still needed it and as long as I had given him lunch and he was comfy - he would still drop off just watching wiggles or something which saved me a fight with a newborn! He day slept until around 3yo.

    However my DD has always been too busy and dropped her day sleep around 19 months too ....

    I would suggest taking each day as it comes and if they look tired, give it a go, but don't worry if it is not every day.

    Thanks Sami, it's exactly the way I'm going to look at it.
