You may be thinking that if your baby doesn't take a nap all day then maybe he/she will sleep better throughout the night. That could back fire. They might be more likely to fight sleep at night time if they are tired, and no nap could cause them to be grouchy during the day.

One idea is to have them take a couple of short naps during the day. Another is to maybe take one long nap in the middle of their day. A well rested baby is a happy baby!
