Real-life family notes
Holidays and travel are common disruptors. Use the same wind-down kit (dim light, familiar song, feed) even in hotels or relatives' homes.
What to do this week
Don’t drop to 1 nap yet
Most 10-month-olds still need two naps. Early drops create overtired nights.
Short nap rescue
If nap 1 is tiny, bring nap 2 slightly earlier rather than stretching endlessly.
FAQ
When do babies drop to one nap?
Often between 13–18 months. At 10 months, two naps remain the default for most babies.
