Kids Are Like Wine, They Get Even Better With Age

Down to One Nap Already?

So...the past two days Scarlett has refused to take one of her naps. Yesterday it was her morning nap, today her afternoon nap. She just turned one. Today she got up from her last nap at 10 and was up until 7:30 tonight - 9 1/2 hours straight with no nap. Each nap she did take the past two days were barely were an hour - typically she sleeps one hour in the a.m. and one in the p.m., although the afternoon nap had been getting shorter. She doesn't seem tired without the 2nd nap.

Anyone have any ideas on what age they drop down to one nap? Are my days of two breaks over?? When do most kids take their one nap - after lunch?

She sleeps about 10 1/2 hours straight. We'll see how long that lasts. Her morning nap is still happening - but that afternoon nap is a bear. She fights it everyday, but without it, she is miserable by 5 p.m. I am kicking around the idea of holding off on the morning nap until later - but she literally starts to crawl with her head on the ground because she is so tired. Just when you have a good system down, they throw you a wrench, don't they?; ▶ Reply to This
