When did your toddler stop napping?
DC is 2 and since the week before Christmas his naps have been very inconsistent. Not sure if it's the excitement of the holidays or if we are done with naps for good.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
DS napped until he was 3yr2months. We went through a few phases were his napping was off but I was consistent and always put him down for a nap. At 2, personally, I would still continue to try to get a child to nap. I think they need it.

My twins stopped shortly after turning 2. I tried so hard to get them to keep napping but they just werent having it anymore.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
HE stopped long before I was ready.. Right before his 2nd birthday... 
He went down to napping every other day and then every few days. Then he only napped in the car..
I did do quiet time for a couple of months at nap time. But that ended up being a disaster after time.

He finally fell asleep. I think he is just so excited from the holidays and a million new toys!

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
DS 1 napped til he was a little over 3. I continued to put him in his room to rest, but DS 2 was giving us a hard time with naps, so DS 1 stopped napping. So, to answer your question DS1 - 3, DS 2 about 18 months (he still needs a nap just won't stay in his bed, so I gave up). We now have rest time downstairs. I'll put the TV on and they chill out for about 45 min. They also started going to bed about an hour earlier since naps stopped.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
DS turned 4 in October and I would say naps have been hit or miss since the summer. I think they are now largely dependent on how much physical activity he had during the day.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
My twins will be 3 in 2 weeks. They nap about 50% of the time. They go into bed though everyday if we are home. Some days they sleep some days they will just rest and read in bed for 1-1.5 hours

When did your toddler stop napping?
She stopped right around 2 and it was way too soon for me! She's now close to 3 and does nap at daycare two days a week and on occasion at home but it hasn't been a daily occurrence in a long time.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
DD will be 3 on 1/7 and we've been in a hit or miss pattern since mid-summer. She definitely still needs it, but she gets tired too late in the day now. If she naps, she doesn't want to go to bed. If she doesn't nap, she's out before 8 pm, but the hours leading up to bedtime are not fun.
I keep waiting for her to just drop the nap at this point and not need it, but we're not there yet. At 2, I'd say, keep trying. DD would got through phases where naps would be off but then she'd get back on track.

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
DS turned 3 in early November (so almost 2 months ago) I still get 1-1-.5 hour nap from him pretty much everyday.
sometimes, he goes through a few days where he fights it, or doesn't really sleep. but I just keep it as part of his routine. So I would keep trying with your DS. it could just be all the excitement from the holidays, etc.
I'm dreading the day DS stops napping!! I'm a SAHM, and have no family in the area to take him while I get stuff done- so I need that time!

Re: When did your toddler stop napping?
at 2 she tried to tell me that she didn't need to nap but she still did- it took a lot of work but I got her to nap until shortly before her 3rd birthday. Now- not a hope in hell LOL. And- she REALLY needs it.

Both my girls stopped just before their 2nd birthdays. My DS will be 3 in March and still takes a good 2-3 hour nap almost everyday.
