The time babies stop napping varies with individual differences, but most children completely stop napping around 3-4 years of age. Around 12-18 months, babies usually transition from two daytime naps to one afternoon nap. Most 2-year-olds still need nap time, while the number of children napping after age 5 drops significantly. Signs of this transition include difficulty falling asleep during nap time, disruptions in nighttime sleep, or refusal to nap. If a child who stops napping becomes fussy in the late afternoon or wakes very early, adding a short rest time (quiet books, calm play in dim light) instead of completely stopping nap time too early can be helpful.
