Goodbye Morning Nap? When and How Does It Disappear?

I've heard that a baby transitions to 2 naps or goes through a complete make-over in the nap department around a year. Sounds like yours is there. My daughter used to nap around 9 but now she sleeps until 8:30 (instead of 7:00) and naps around 11 through the 'lunch hours'. I'm kind of the care-free laid back parent so I'd say if you're fighting with your kid to get them to sleep, let them back up to play... I did this with my daughter (14m) and found her laying on the floor in her nursery finally ready to nap. I picked her up and put her in her crib where she immediately fell asleep.
The first couple of days can be tough but they're adjust and get to a new normal.

However you make it work, best of luck,

Ah! The gone-too-soon, often under-apreciated, morning nap! LOL I think my son stopped his a.m. nap at around O. year.
The good news: an earlier, longer afternoon nap!
The bad news: At around 3, that will go away too!
The good news: At 3,4,5, you can give them a "quiet time" in their rooms for an hour or so. The bad news: They don't always cooperate!
The good news: Bedtime can be early when they are not taking any naps! LOL

I, personally, would play it mostly by ear. I always tried to keep my son's schedule as consistent as possible--planning stuff around naps and bedtimes. Now that he's 5, I still try to make sure he is in the tub by 7 and in bed by 8, but I do allow a little more flexibility with summer, etc. Your daughter will probably continue to take a good afternoon nap for quite a while (YIPPEE!). She may even take an occasional morning nap, too.
The bottom line is that kids are kids and they aren't machines--some days they are more tired, etc. After all, she didn't read the sleep book yet! You kind of just get to a point where if your kid seems tired, you will know that she will nap or go to be a little earlier. Try to roll with it a little more.....and ENJOY that awesome afternoon nap, on the occasions when all of the planets align perfectly, and you will again, experience bliss!
Mom bottom line on naps: We'll take 'em any way we can get 'em. Good luck!

Hi. I have a 22 month old little girl and she used to take a morning and afternoon nap and the morning nap got phased out. It just seems to happen! I would try to put her down and she wouldnt want to sleep.Now she does the afternoon nap and even some days she wont want that either. But I would say 90% of the time she will take an afternoon nap. It just happens.

I want to say for us, the morning nap went away around one year old. I think a huge part of that had to do with the daycare. At one year old they put the kids in a different room which has a set naptime. Both of my kids have been on the same schedule since that day. They go to bed about 8pm. They wake up around 7am. My son will sleep a bit longer, and on the weekends when I dont' have anywhere to be I'll let him sleep a little longer. He takes a nap from about 12:30 - 3:00. If he sleeps in a bit I'll put him down a little later, but I don't like him to sleep past 4pm because I don't want to push back the 8pm bedtime any because the next morning he may not be able to sleep in. I think if it seems like she doesn't need two naps, just phase it out. Just follow your instincts. The most important thing is that they get a nap to refresh, I think you can play around with the timing and see what works best for her.
