what age do toddlers start dropping there sleep altogether through the day?

Joshua used to sleep about 2 hours in the afternoon then sleep 7pm - 7am at night.

the last few nights he hasnt slept too well and has only had 45mins to an hour sleep through the day.

is it coz he doesnt need any sleep through the day?

I think most kids need naps until around 3-4 atleast..some up to 5 even. My kids all had 2 naps until around 18mo then dropped to 1. Landon napped everyday until 4, Casen napped until 3 then started refusing but now at 4 1/2 does nap a couple times a week and would nap every single day if we were in the car. Landon at 6 1/2 could use a nap everyday after school lol. Hayden's 26mo and will be napping for awhile still. He has 1 nap for about 1-2hrs...sometimes more if he's really worn out

Sean also used to nap 2 hours in the day and now only naps an hour. If he wakes up really early then he will nap a bit longer. He is coping fine with an hour and is still full of energy in the evening.

Freya had regular daytime sleeps until she was about 3. After that she had one every now and then for while, but hasn't had one at all for over 6 months.
Sometimes she could really do with it, but she just won't.

Having said that, she did go thru a period one summer (when she was just 2) when she didn't have, or really need, a nap for a few months.

My LO who is almost 15 months has decided that naps are for dummies, apparently! He only sleeps 45mins to 1 hr and has done this for about a month. I was hoping it was just a phase but am staring to accept that maybe it isn't my housework is getting very out of hand

logans naps differ each day. normally he sleeps 7-7 but then theres times hes up earlier so he naps earlier than normal and for about 2 hrs, if hes had a good nights sleep hel nap about an 30mins-hr just after lunch, but then somedays tired or not he may not nap at all. sometimes he naps for 5 mins. with logan its take each day as it comes lol xx

thanks everyone.

i put him to bed this afternoon and he had an hour or so.

he goes to bed at 7 but has been waking at 4am and wide awake and i cant figure out why hes doing this.

he is ready for bed by 7 as he falls asleep straight away once hes in bed.
