How did you know it was time for only 1 nap a day?
are there signs you recognized, or you just decided it was time?

Re: How did you know it was time for only 1 nap a day?
at about 14 mos DS started to really fight his afternoon naps. We were hit or miss with them for about a month.
I just gradually started moving his morning nap later and later.
He still naps on the early side in the morning (11-1) and then is up till bedtime at 7:30.

I am sooo glad to hear this. It just took them almost 2 hours to fall asleep. i was about to give up, and they've been doing this a lot recently.
I reallly think they still need the two naps, but I don't know why they are taking forever to fall asleep.

this is exactly what we are going through now, ds is 14 months... however when he does take that afternoon nap it is a LONG one

I thought DD was dropping to one nap at that age but didn't for another two months. She started by really fighting her morning nap and then just stopped taking it entirely. Her afternoon nap became earlier and is typically 2 hrs or so.

Try moving up that afternoon nap and putting them to bed about 15-20 minutes later. My Dr suggested shortening the naps to 45 mins but that is way too short for my kids
