14 month old naps

yellow hen

Our little guy currently takes a morning and evening nap which generally average at around 2-2.5 hours although 3.5 hours wouldnt be unheard off. He always goes to bed around 7:30 but last week it was taking around 45 minutes to get him to sleep.

This weekend, we let him take his morning nap which was about 1.5 hours and he got up around 12. He wasnt really tired enough for another nap until 5pm which is too late to nap so i kept him up and both nights he went to bed and slept 12 hours straight which was just heaven (he had taken to getting up at 6am over the last few weeks).

Im beginning to think that the one good nap every day is enough for him and have asked the creche to start trying to slowly move his morning nap to later in the day. Just curious what your 14 month old does?

My almost 13 month old now only takes one nap from around 11ish till lunchtime. It usually lasts around 2 to 2 1/2 hours. He used to have two naps but dropped the later on a few weeks ago. He also goes to bed at 7:30pm.

Thanks Nead. I just wanted some affirmation that it's ok at this age to drop to one nap.

At 14mths my now 18mth old transitioned from 2 naps to 1 longer nap. Initially it was 11am-1/1.30pm, but now @ 18mth it's 12-1.30/2pm.

Most babies move to one nap at around a year old. Our crèche initiated with my son but he wasn't ready until13-14 months. My daughter did it herself at 12 months.

Our crèche is tiny but the other two small ones take two naps too. I'm just happy to know that one nap is the norm so I can move O to one and we can have 12 hour night sleeps

Whatever you can do to get the 12 hour sleeps!! É started sleeping for 12 hours last weekend but then he got a throat infection and got 4 teeth in a week. Poor thing. We're back now to waking all the time....hopefully he'll starting stretching it again soon.

My fella went from two naps to one right around the year mark too.

Kind of happened by accident as we were away down the country with family and it was too awkward getting to and from the house for two naps every day so I tried him on one nap and he was grand. Slept like a log at night too!

Our boys are the same (17 months). Usually down for 11-11.30 depending on how tired they are, and then sleep till 1.30-2ish. That does them until they head to bed about 7.30-8ish (or until dad is finished playing with them when he gets home )
