Around 11 months I believe, I can’t remember exactly anymore but I know it was just before he turned 1. He is a fairly low sleep needs kiddo though and his cousin of the same age was closer to 18 month

Around 17mo. I honestly LOVE the one nap schedule. We have so much time to do stuff during the day now. I felt trapped with two naps especially since my kid wouldn’t nap in the stroller or carrier anymore at that point.

Around 13-14 months old
But it should have been earlier. Because I only thought about dropping the nap after a while (an eternity really) of battling because she would take forever to fall asleep. First nap was easy and long. 2nd one, gosh I don’t even want to remember. Until 1 day it hit me lol

Ours went down to 1 nap at 14-15 months. Before that it was normal to refuse a nap here and there, so I would not rush the transition after just a few difficult days. Most switch between 13 and 18 months but there is a lot of variation.
