Amount of sleep

SM0524 · August 2013

How much does your LO sleep a day? The sitter seems to think she sleeps a lot. Currently DD will take around a 1 hours nap in the am, a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, and then sleep from 7:30/8ish to 6:30/ish. Is this too much sleep for someone her age? She was 1 on Monday. It never crossed my mind that it was possibly too much sleep.

DD naps for 1.5 hours in the morning and another 2-2.5 in the afternoon. She (on a good night) then sleeps from 7:30-6:00. Babies are like dogs. They sleep.

Thanks ladies! Good to know DD is right in with some others. We have her one year appt on the 19th and was going to ask the pedi, but it's always nice to here from other moms

I think my daughter sleeps too little. 10-12 hours at night and only one nap in the afternoon which ranges from 15 minutes on a bad day to 2 hours on a good day. But it's usually only an hour ish.

We're on a similar schedule. I think they still need about 14 hours of sleep.

14 hours of sleep now is pretty average.

DS takes 2 two hour naps in the day. Goes to bed at 8:30 and gets up at 6:30.

My daughter sleeps the same amount as yours.

I think that's the norm. DS sleeps somewhere between 7-6 or 6:30, then if he's at daycare he MIGHT get 1-2 hrs of naps, but if it's the weekend, he takes two naps for a total of about 3 hrs total.

Liam does 11-12 hrs at night and two 2 hour naps during the day. Sounds about right to me.

My pediatrician said that DS should still be getting 13-14 hours total of sleep each day.

On a typical day he sleeps for 11 hours at night and takes 1 2 hour nap at daycare (since he moved to the toddler room they do 1 nap per day). Occasionally he will take a 30-60 minute nap when we get home at 4:30. On weekends he will sometimes only sleep 9 hours at night but he always takes a second nap on those days and still gets at least 12-13 hours on those days.
