When did your baby/toddler transition to one day nap?- I'd love some advice.

I think for my ds it was somewhere between 14-16 months but I'm not sure. I have always found, though, that nap transitions can be a lengthy (and sometimes frustrating) process. I think that going to the one nap was a lot od trial and error here and a case of two naps one day, one the next etc

gradually the nap got later until he settled on around 1 and he would sleep for 2-3 hours and did until he was about 3 and 2 months.

im interested in this as well. my DS is nearly 14 months and he still has two sleeps most days. but he doesnt always have a long sleep. usually 1 hour in the morning and maybe 1.5 hours in an afternoon? but i think we will be be eventually moving down to one sleep soon.

our issue is he doesnt sleep for a LONG period of sleep. even if i am out in the mornings and he doesnt go down for sleep till 12ish he still only MAX sleeps for 2 hours. and then the problem tends to be he is getting a bit tired and grumpy by 4pm which is too late for another sleep and we have three hours till bedtime! lol

i am imagining a period of time where afternoons are just giong to be difficult until he either no longer needs the extra sleep or he learns to sleep longer lol.

Both of my girls went to one nap around the time they started walking so for DD1 that was 17months but for DD2 it was 11months.

DD2 (now 13months) goes to nap around 9-10am (wakes around 5-6am) and sleeps between 2-3hrs (usually 2hrs on days DD1 is home and 3hrs when DD1 is at kindy). She then goes to bed at night around 6-7pm.
