Lately though it's been closer to 1.75 - 2 hours </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-18-24-month-old-nap#post-1149979 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:15:08 +0000 lemondrop 1149979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 months here, and it really varies day to day for us. We are big on go with the flow.</p> <p>Usually he's down for 1-1.5 hours. Today he woke up late (8:30) and I really wore him out at the zoo and got a very late start to lunch and nap, he was down for 2 hours and would have gone longer if we hadn't hit 4pm and I sadly had to wake him :( Since he napped that late, I didn't start the bedtime routine until 8:30 for a 9pm crib time. </p> <p>Our biggest factors are: what time he wakes up, what we are up to (could I give him a chance to run or was he stuck in the stroller), and his general attitude for the day. If he's happy and not giving me the tired signs and won't go down right away, I'm not going to go to war over a nap, I'll just move his bedtime earlier. I try to encourage the nap, I really want to keep him at it for many, many more years ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-18-24-month-old-nap#post-1149975 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:05:02 +0000 MsMini 1149975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 hours for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-18-24-month-old-nap#post-1149974 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:03:50 +0000 Kimberlybee 1149974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Sleep is truly awesome!

He gets super-cranky by 4:30pm but by then it's dinner and bath/bedtime stuff and a lot of times - like now - he'll still talk/play in his crib until 9pm!<br /> waiting for this phase to pass... sleep is awesome, kid! get on board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-does-your-18-24-month-old-nap#post-979454 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:39:23 +0000 Sweet T 979454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS usually naps for 2-2.5 hours every day.
