Dropping from three naps to two is a genuine developmental shift, not just a schedule tweak. Here is how to spot the signs that your baby is ready, and how to step down gently so the transition feels manageable for both of you.

Here is what is going on, the signs to look for, and gentle, practical ways to help them drift off.
