ktgrok Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Adding together night time and nap time, how many hours, normally, does your toddler sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whereneverever Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 About twelve. He goes to sleep about 8, wakes up around six, and has a two hour nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatA Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 12 hours, 10 at night and a two hour nap at 1pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) 12-13 hours at night, no nap. He's usually asleep by 6:15pm or so, and he generally wakes up between 6 and 7am. He slept until almost 8am twice last week. He stopped napping at 18 months. His sleep was a disaster when he napped. He was never actually tired so he fought going to sleep constantly, even after hours and hours of hard play outside. Now he's actually tired at night and goes to sleep happily. ETA: He usually nurses once or twice overnight. If he doesn't wake to nurse in the midle of the night, he sometimes wakes for the day earlier because he's hungry.

tabrizia Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 10 to 13 hours depending of how tired she is. Normally around 11 to 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embassy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 When my daughter was 3 she slept at least 10-11 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wapiti Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) FWIW, a good source for sleep statistics is Weissbluth's Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. It includes statistical charts on things like number of total hours at various percentiles for various ages, percent taking naps at what ages and for how long, bedtime and waketime percentiles, etc. The library probably has this book if you're just interested in looking at the charts. I don't have my copy anymore, so I can't look this stat up, but it's in there. For my kids, overnight hours at that age depend a little bit on whether they're still napping. Generally, however, my almost-3 y.o. goes to bed around 7:30 with her two slightly older non-napping siblings, though she probably doesn't always fall asleep right away. My kids tended to nap until around 3 or so. 3.5 was an unpleasant time of transition, as they needed a nap (though they didn't want one), but the nap would make the bedtime too late/the overnight sleep too short, so they'd end up overtired regardless. I should add that most of them went through phases when they resisted napping (at varying points around 2/2.5), and it was a huge pain in the neck getting them down for a nap, but most of them came back around eventually.

happyhomemaker Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Dd slept 14 hrs total at that age. 12 at night and 2 for a nap. Ds slept about 11-12 at night and didn't take a nap. Little dd is 20 months, sleeping 12 hrs at night, and takes a 2-3 hr nap. So 14-15 hrs total for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 So sounds like my toddler, with her 11 hours or so, total, without a nap, is pretty normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 13-14 hours at 2.5. The book mentioned above has been really helpful to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 14. Up at 7:30-8, nap from noon to 2, in bed by 7:30. I was one thankful mama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 At any age, including infancy, none of my girls have slept more than 9 hours/day altogether unless sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 My DD will be 2 in a couple of weeks and she takes about a 1-2 hour nap, sometimes longer and sleeps between 10-12 hours at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 12 here and she does not nap during the day it is all at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 My current 3 year old sleeps 8 if I'm lucky, no nap. I've had one other child like that (with very low sleep needs). My other children have slept 12ish hours....10 at night and a 2 hour nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 11 at night and a 2 hour nap is what happens on a normal day. She can get by with a later bedtime or shorter nap as long as it isn't several days in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeschoolingHearts&Minds Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 10-12 hours, all at night and all my kiddos have followed that pattern at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisperry Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 14 hours at 2 years 2 months. About 12 at night and a 2 hour nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
