Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

How long does your 17 month old sleep during naps?

DS has only been taking an hour nap (once a day) lately.  I fear he is trying to grow out of naps which I am sooooooooo not ready for.  Just wondering how much your child sleeps during naps.  TIA

Re: How long does your 17 month old sleep during naps?

  • Mine is 21mo but transitioned to one nap a day by the time she was a year old.  She goes back & forth with how long her nap is.  Usually 1.5-2 hours- on a crazy day she'll go 2.5-3hrs.  My oldest gave up naps at 2.5 so I anticipate an early one here as well.  However, at 17mo I think he probably still needs that nap so keep being consistent & putting him down.  He may go back to longer naps. But if he doesn't, I think it's important for them to have a quiet rest time regardless.

  • usually about 2 hours... she has been taking one nap a day since about 13 months
  • about 1-2 hours.  lately babysitter said she hasn't been napping, so by 7pm she is ready for bed.
  • DS is just now transitioning from two naps to one.  He used to take two 1-hour naps and now takes just one 1-hour nap.  He didn't get the memo that when you drop a nap, the remaining one should be longer! 

    He's also sleeping worse at night lately, so you're looking at one tired pg lady  :)  Guess he's just trying to get me ready for what's coming!

  • Mine is 16mo, he'll nap from 1.5-2 hours most days. Some days he insists on 2 naps a day and I'll let him, so on those days he'll sleep about 2 hours in the morning and then another 2 hours in the afternoon.
