Toddler Nap Schedule: When To Drop The 2nd Nap (And How)

Описание: Are you struggling with the 2-to-1 nap transition? Maybe your toddler started refusing their afternoon nap for three days straight, so you cut it—only to end up with a cranky, overtired mess by 5 PM.

In this video, I’m breaking down exactly when and how to transition from 2 naps to 1 without the meltdowns. Most parents make the mistake of "false starting"—dropping the nap too early because of a temporary regression. I’ll teach you the Baby Sleep Accelerator® standard for age-appropriate rest and how to use the "Bridge Method" to save your evenings.
In this video, we cover:

The "False Start": Why 3 days of nap refusal doesn't mean they are ready to drop it.
The Age Window: When the 2-to-1 transition actually happens (hint: it's later than you think).
The Bridge Method: How to adjust bedtime by 30-60 minutes to prevent overtiredness.
The "Quiet Time" Shift: Keeping the rest period even if they don't sleep.
