Drop the third nap if ready

Two-nap transition

Today's lesson

Around 6–8 months, many babies move to two naps. Signs include refusing the third nap, longer wake windows, or bedtime battles. Transition gradually by pushing the first two naps later.

Your action steps

  • Watch for three days of third-nap refusal.
  • Move morning nap 15 minutes later every few days.
  • Move bedtime earlier temporarily to prevent overtiredness.

Pro tip

The two-nap transition can take 2–4 weeks.
