OK, my 14mo is transitioning from 2 naps to 1, the problem is she likes to nap in the morning and she takes and 1 - 1.5 nap and then is up until bedtime. She gets cranky around 3, but that's to late to take another nap imo...I'm trying to push the morning nap later but having a hard time...what to do? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I would stick with 2 naps for a few more months. The average age to go from on to two according to Weissbluth is 16 months. [ Reply | More
