Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

12 month old, how many hours of sleep total?

For mobile: 12 month old how many hours of sleep total?

 

How many hours of sleep does your LO get total broken down into overnight sleep and nap(s)?

DD has been sleeping roughly 9-10 hours at night and then takes a quick morning nap for 30 mins or so (has been dropping this one some mornings), but my question comes into play for her afternoon nap.  I put her down, and at the 2.5 hour mark, I usually go wake her.  I am not sure how long she would go if I just let her go.  I think the 3 days she is at daycare she sleeps less, so it might be different at home.

She is fully alert and super active in between, so I am not super concerned about some major issue, but as a highly anxious person, that is on my mind.  The Ferber book scared me haha. Those darn charts making it seem like every child is the same!

Is it "normal" for a child to get decent overnight sleep and then take such a long nap in the afternoon?  Is that even considered long?

Re: 12 month old, how many hours of sleep total?

  • My DS sleeps 12 hours at night and then takes about a two hour nap mid day. He seems perfectly fine so I'm not about to change anything

  • DS sleeps 12-13 hours at night and takes one 3ish hour nap.  So total he's sleeping 15-16 hours.

    It's crazy to me that this is the same child who was up every 2 hours during the night for his first 6 months of life.

  • DD is almost 17 months but her schedule hasn't changed since she dropped to one nap at 12 months.

    She naps for 1.5-2 hours in the afternoon and sleeps about 12 hours overnight.  So she gets around 14 hours a day

    My DD is in the process of transitioning from 2 naps down to 1, so every day is a bit different. She generally sleeps about 10.5-11 hours overnight (waking once or twice), and then if she takes two naps, each will be about 1.5 hours - and if takes one nap

  • my 13 month old sleep 12-13 hours at night and still takes two 2 hour naps...so he gets about 17 hours of sleep. The boy just loves his naps! I'm keeping 2 naps as long as I can!

  • DD sleeps 11-12 hours at night, 2ish hour nap in the morning, 1.5-2 hour nap in the afternoon. My first DD never slept so I don't even think anything of it. I just appreciate the amount of sleeping this baby does!
  • I don't THINK DS's sleep has changed much since he was that young, but I never write things down anymore. That was around the age we transitioned to one gloriously long nap.

    He still sleeps around 11 hours at night, and does a 2-3 hour nap unless

  • DS is almost 13 months but has been on the same schedule since about 11 months. He goes to bed from 7:30 to 8 and usually wakes up between 6:30 and 7 (so around 11 hours at night). He takes two 1 1/2 hour naps around 10 and 3 during the day. Sometimes his

  • Both of our kids sleep 10-11 hours at night and once they dropped their morning naps (both around 13 months), a two hour nap in the afternoon.

    Before they dropped the morning nap, they were also sleeping about 30-60 minutes in the morning, but p

  • You're right that once they hit the one year mark, ever kid is going to be different. The books just give general guidelines, so I wouldn't be too concerned about what it says in the Ferber book.

    Since about 10.5 months, my LO has been sleeping 1

  • My DD is such an outlier...8-8.5 hours at night and 2 hours of napping while at daycare.  So, 10-10.5 hours total.

  • At one year, DD was sleeping about 10-11 hours overnight and three full hours in the afternoon.  Sometimes even 3.5 hours.  It's a pretty long nap, but I was under the impression that the average 1 year old needed around 14 hours of sleep total,

  • At 12m LO slept 11-12hrs at night, 1-1.5hrs in the am, and 1-2hrs in the pm. Less nighttime sleep always meant longer naps, and vice versa so he totaled 13-14hrs.

    FWIW all kids are not the same, just like adults some need more sleep than oth

  • At 12 months my LO was sleeping for about 11 hours and then took two 2 hour naps. She's 17 months now and she now sleeps 11 hours and takes one 3 hour nap around 1130.

    I think it's fine.  At that age my kid was sleeping 12 hours overnight and another 3-4 in naps during the day.<
