226. When to Transition Your Baby to One Nap a Day
Episode 226
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
If you're navigating the tricky transition from two naps to one, this episode is for you. In this short and practical episode of How Long 'Til Bedtime?, Allison breaks down when babies are actually developmentally ready to drop to one nap—and why making the switch too early can disrupt night sleep. Allison addresses a growing trend she's seeing with families of 10–12 month olds being told (or feeling pressured) to drop to one nap, often due to daycare policies or sudden nap resistance. She explains why most babies aren't ready for this transition until closer to 15 months—and sometimes even later—and how to protect your child's sleep in the meantime. You'll learn: The ideal age range for transitioning from two naps to one Why early nap transitions often lead to night wakings and regressions What to do if daycare moves your baby to one nap early How to use early bedtimes and weekend schedules to protect sleep Why nap resistance doesn't always mean readiness Simple schedule tweaks that can help preserve two naps If your baby is under 15 months and naps suddenly feel harder—or sleep has gone off the rails—this episode will help you understand what's normal, what's not, and how to move forward with confidence. Wondering if your child is getting enough sleep? Allison's free guides take the guesswork out of bedtime. Learn the optimal sleep ranges for every age so your little one can feel their best—day after day.
