Hi Fishes, Can Anyone please tell, one of my friend joined Tech M in August, At the time of joining she was 3 months pregnant and now shes worrying about her manager. She wants to inform them about her pregnancy; is it right time to inform? Or she needs to wait for 6 more months for that to inform? Anyone please clearify..

I think the ‘guideline’ is 18 months before a baby is ready for longer wake windows to allow for a single nap. That being said, my little chonk monster has been fighting the second nap since she was 9 months old, sigh. I kept offering the second nap until she turned 12 months, hoping it was some sort of sleep regression and she wasn’t ready. Now she’s 13 months and I’ve given up. I just hope for a solid 1.5 hr nap during the day and she seems to be fine with it. She has never been a great napper honestly, so this is the best we could do.
11 months for my son. He was waking sooo often before transitioning to one nap, so I knew it was time. There was an intermittent period where he'd need a very short second nap if main/first nap wasn't at least 2 hours.
I kept a log of key developments and changes the first year, and after taking a glance at my notes, here is what occurred when my son transitioned from one to two naps:
1. At 45 weeks (10 months), baby started relying less on the second nap intermittently. Roughly every other day, he needed the second "longer" nap, and on the days he refused them, he'd conk out (usually while nursing) and sleep for 5-10 min.
2. At weeks 50 (11 months), I started to purposefully transition him from two naps to one because: 1) he was waking up 1-4x a night on days when he had two naps; 2) he had less overnight wakeups on the occasions that he did have 1 nap; and 3) his 7pm bedtime had to be pushed to 8-9pm when he had two naps, resulting in less overnight sleep (he woke up at the same time everyday)
We’re at 13 months for our second kiddo and still on two naps. First kiddo was around the one year mark though
My first took 2 naps until she was over 2, but our schedules allowed that. My first had to drop to one nap when my daughter started pre-k and he was a little over 1 at the time.
Around 11-12 months most babies experience a neurological “leap” and their sleep gets really bad temporarily. Both of my kids went through it, and it lasted about a month and then went back to sleeping and napping as normal. Most children drop a nap between 15-18months.
