Morning Nap

[Anonymous]

My son is 11 mos old and for the past two days has not been sleeping well during naps. I am terrified that he is one of those babies to drop the morning nap early. Is this possible at just 11 months? He has spent the last 45 minutes humming to himself in his crib. He usually sleeps for 1.5 hours two times a day. In the past, he has really been a good sleeper for the most part and he goes down easy. Any advice? I still need for him to take 2 naps!!!

Hopefully it’s just a one time occurance! He might make up for it with a longer afternoon nap and be back on track tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Sarah went down to one nap at 20 months old. It was a hard transition for me because I also LOVED two naps!

Well, it is possible for them to drop a morning nap at 1 yr of age. I hope not for you though!

Kaden dropped his morning nap at age 1.

Landen at 17 months still needs a morning nap. He wakes so early (at 6 am usually, sometimes 7) and is atrocious by 8-9am)

I knew to drop Cooper’s morning nap when it went from 1 – 1.5hrs down to 30-45 min. He was about 13 months old when we started dropping it on a regular basis. Now he usually takes at least a 2 hr afternoon nap sometimes 3 depending… All babies are different. I would love for him to still be taking a morning nap… but he wasn’t having it!

Well, not to scare you, but Ben dropped his morning nap by about 10 months. It was no my choice at all, but he would sleep well in the morning and then not in the afternoon. My daughter still naps in the afternoon, so I needed him to sleep then too. It was hard to drop it, but once we did, he started taking longer naps in the afternoon, AND sleeping in a bit more in the morning.
