Mine was quite young too - I can't remember exactly but it was definitely before he turned 1. I'd try for 15 mins or so to get him to sleep, and if he didn't want to, I figured he wasn't ready to sleep and wouldn't try to force it. You can substitute a quiet time instead, like listening to music or having a story, so they still get a rest.]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:13:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1365383&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1365383 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1365376&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1365376 Author: WestiesGirl

Well, he slept well the first night, but woke up ready to go at 3am I managed to get him back down, although he woke every hour till six when he was up for the day (his usual time, though).

Yesterday he was at creche, and just had one sleep - he was melting down by the time we got home, and screamed through tea - I rushed him to bed as fast as I could and he went down at 6.15. He woke at 5.30am, I got him back down till 6 again.

Today, one sleep again, and he's playing happily now (6pm) after a good tea. So it looks like it might have been the right call ]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:02:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1365267&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1365267 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364421&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364421 Author: Nikki

DS has two sleeps still, unless we're out and about. But he's much happier having two. He doesn't sleep well At night though so I think that is why he craves daytime naps. He generally goes down around 10 and 2 for an hour and a half each time and in bed for the night at 7]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:02:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364386&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364362&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364362 Author: Nothing

I would try and make the morning sleep as close to 12 as you can get, gives you a later bedtime. When mine dropped to one nap, at first i would give him a lunch at 10.30 and another at 2. Full lunches, otherwise like you say they get too tired to eat. After a few weeks they will be fine with it.

If they got sick tho sometimes mine would have 2 naps.

To stretch the nap later i would carry them around a bit having cuddles, looking at the plants and listening to music for the last bit, trying to keep them awake but quiet. ]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:07:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364355&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364355 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364342&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364342 Author: Hopes

Well, he pretty much did it himself today anyway - he woke at 12, and wouldn't go down in the afternoon, so I kept him up until I couldnt realistically manage it any longer, and I've just put him to bed (5.30 when his usual bedtimes 7). I hope he sleeps OK, and doesn't wake up in an hour and think it's time for games again - I'm also a bit worried he'll get hungry because he was so tired he hardly had any tea, but what else can you do? I think I'll start the one-sleep thing, and just try and make it later in the day.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:28:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364342&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364342 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364316&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364316 Author: Bky

Also 11 months here when we made the transition from 2 to 1 nap. DD used to have one mid-morning and one early afternoon nap of about an hour each and then swapped over to 1 two to three hour nap starting anywhere from 10:30am to 2pm. She still has 2 on occasion, but we're mostly at one these days.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:06:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364316&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364316 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364286&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364286 Author: Lucky apple

We were 11 months when dropped to one. DD would sleep well for morning sleep - up to 2 hours (9-11) but then would resist afternoon sleep. So, we did an activity in the morning and I stretched her out until 11. She now sleeps for about 2 hours in the middle of the day at 12.5 months.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:27:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364286&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364189&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364189 Author: MrsEmma

DS was around 11 months when he dropped to one day sleep, he's been on just one since then but the times have moved to suit as he's gotten older.

I am hoping he doesn't drop that nap anytime soon!! ]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:24:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364189&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364189 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364177&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364177 Author: High9

Lily was about 10 or 11 months, forget now! She just kept fighting her afternoon nap so I let her stay up she went to bed 2 hours early but then the next day took her first nap later and has been having 1 nap a day since!

Usually 10am and 2pm. Today, though, he didn't go to sleep till 11am (he was super-happy so I put him down later, and then he played in his cot for half an hour before going to sleep).

He's a shoddy sleeper, most sleeps we only get one sleep cycle out of him. I guess I could hope he'd have a longer sleep if he just had one, because one 45-minute sleep a day doesn't feel like a lot!]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:39:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364166&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364166 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364153&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364153 Author: Danda08

The Sleepstore suggest that most babies drop from 2 naps to one between 14-18 months but the majority of people I know with kids my girls age (almost 13 months) are already on 1 sleep.
That said my girls are still having 2 sleeps but the arvo nap is a bit hit & miss so I don't think we're far off dropping to 1.

What time are Jacob's naps?]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:17:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364153&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364153 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364152&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364152 Author: Bel

My DS dropped back to one sleep at 10 months - it felt really young to me - but made it easier to get out and about when I didn't have to fit 2 sleeps in! Also he went down at night muich easier/earlier.

DD dropped hers about a year, but then went on to drop her last sleep just over 2,now that really sucks!]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:13:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364152&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364152 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364142&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364142 Author: Hopes

When did your baby drop to one sleep a day? Jacob's nearly 11 months, and it's getting a lot harder to get him down for his day sleeps (he currently has two). He's also waking early in the mornings.

But 11 months feels way to early to me! Is that just in my head, or should I be looking for other reasons why he's not settling?]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:46:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39941&PID=1364142&title=one-sleep-a-day-when#1364142
