A member asked:
When should i start decreasing my baby's naps?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I think...: ...The person to ask is the baby. Children act in a certain restless, cranky way when they actually need that nap; if they are consistently fine without it, you can skip it.

Between 2/3 years : Usually between 2-3 years old but it depends on each child and your schedule. Sometime you will need the child to nap. There is no fast rule at all.
