Sleep between 18–36 months
What to expect:

Many toddlers will drop their nap between 2.5–3 years, but this is highly individual.
Developmental Influences:
- Emotional outbursts
- Boundary testing
- Language explosion
- Increased independence
Nap resistance, bedtime resistance, and night wakes can be common at this age, while other babies are sleeping through, it is unique to your child whether they are still waking or not. This is not a sleep problem. It is part of normal development.
