when did your little ones drop their nap?

[Mia & Scarlett's Mummy]

Hello - I haven't posted on this board for ages, not since dd1.  I've just got a quick question - when dod your lo's drop their daytime napping altogether. The reason I ask is dd2 has been up since 5am - it's now 12.10pm and I'm going to put her to bed but she is still full of fun and life and I know has probably got an hour or two awake time left. 

dd1 would have been on her knees by now and I recall at this age was taking a whopping 3.5 hour nap and a solid 12.5 hours at night.....I'm starting to think Scarlett could get through the day with no sleep if she would wake at a reasonable hour.

I've had a quick flick through the FAQS as I seem to recall a thread where mums gave ages of when their dd's dropped their naps - apologies if it's still there or elsewhere - if so could someone redirect me please.

TIA - Louise

How old is she?  My dd still has an afternoon nap at 28 months but can last the day without one if need be and then have an early bedtime.  She could go a lot longer though without sleep unlike my ds who is a nightmare if he gets OT.

This is the thing she's 13.5 months!!  DD1 is 3 years 1 months and still has a nap from time to time but i think dd2 is just a different kettle of fish entirely

going to pop this over  to toddler sleep for you.

most LOs go to 1 nap between 12-18 mo and don't drop to no naps until much later than that.

Do you think she is OT? My DD gets more lively the more OT she gets, once she is revved up it is hard to settle her for a nap and she is nearly 2!!

nope don't think she is ot

Ds was always a rubbish napper but we dropped the naps when he reached 27mo because he would sleep some days and not others - when he slept, we couldn't get him to bed before 9.30pm when bedtime was normally 8pm.

Louise - I know a couple of people who's babies have literally never napped at all in the day.  Also a friend of a friend's 12 month old had dropped her daytime nap already.  I imagine it's quite unusual but it does happen and only you know your baby best.
Good luck!
