If that isn’t helping after making the shift for 2 weeks as well as baby being within the 14-18 month range, then it is likely time to think about the transition to 1 nap. I first recommend capping their nap(s) to adjust their schedule to have more awake time before bed (about 4 hours). This is usually a sign that your baby needs more awake time before being able to fall asleep. Maybe your little one isn’t resisting naps yet, but it is taking them a long time to fall asleep at bedtime. So make sure this is the pattern for a minimum of two weeks before pulling the plug on the morning nap. Nap Resistance or RefusalĪnother telltale sign that your little one is ready to make this transition to 1 nap is that they are resisting or refusing their afternoon nap about 4 to 5 times a week for at least two weeks straight.ĭevelopmental milestones can cause some disruptions which might make you think that baby’s ready when they’re actually not. It can be appropriate for your little one to transition to one nap anywhere between 12 and 18 months old. Little ones are, on average, ready to make the transition to one nap somewhere between 14 and 16 months old. Signs your child is ready to transition to 1 nap Age So let’s get down to it - when is your little one ready to transition to one nap. However, the results can be amazing - about 2 to 2.5 hours, every 3 hours for some little ones, right in the middle of the day!īecause your little one is going to have to adjust from what was their awake time midday to that now being nap time, it can be a challenging transition and you want to make sure your baby is ready. Now I have to warn you, this is often the most challenging nap transition you and your little one will have to navigate. Consolidating your baby’s two short daytime naps into one great big nap in the middle of the day can be pretty awesome!
But, one of the best transitions has got to be moving to one nap. The phrase ‘sleep transition’ can make us parents shudder with fear and often for good reason.
