How did you know your child was ready to go from 2 naps to one?
How long is the one nap a day? How long were their 2 naps before they switched? Once they went to one nap did they sleep longer at night? shorter? or no different at all?

Re: How did you know your child was ready to go from 2 naps to one?
Lauren just went to 1 nap within the last month. I would put her down for her morning nap and she just wouldn't nap. Her afternoon nap of course is a lot earlier, and she naps about 3 hours total with 1 nap.
It has not affected her night sleeping at all. Actually, she is going to bed a little earlier and waking at same time.

Re: How did you know your child was ready to go from 2 naps to one?
She just did it herself. All of a sudden, she started sleeping 2-3 hours in the morning and not taking an afternoon nap. It's the weirdest thing because she's up around 7:30, then by 9:30, she's exhausted again, sleeps until 11:30-12:30, then is fine until 7 at night when she goes to bed. I mean, she'll get tired in the late afternoon, but I notice that she just plays quietly, she doesn't need that nap. It hasn't affected her nightime sleep one bit. If anything, she's so happy for bedtime now.

Re: How did you know your child was ready to go from 2 naps to one?
Aly is 12.5 mths old and is just starting to transition to one nap a day.... on the days that she only takes one...she just doesntget tired till later in the AM and then winds up sleeping for 2 or 3 hrs and doesnt get tired again till bedtime. She still takes 2 naps some of the days but I can tell that she is weaning from the second one....
ETA : when she takes just the one nap its usually 2.5 - 3 hrs.....when she takes 2 naps...usually the long one is the first one, about 2 hrs long...second one is shorter....maybe 45 min. None of this is changing her sleep at night. just the teething!!!
