I used to stress that he should be getting more but then realized he is fine and we can't force him to sleep longer. He also naps 2+ hours, so he gets the sleep he need through the whole day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730492 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 14:17:58 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2730492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did 10 for a long time... 8-6 and sometimes up a bit earlier. Lately it's closer to 11 but he's a short napper too. Just low sleep needs I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730478 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 11:39:21 +0000 travellingbee 2730478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids have always slept 10 hours at night. And my oldest stopped napping early too (like 2.5yo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730476 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 11:25:05 +0000 LindsayLou 2730476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20 month old has low sleep needs. She's perfectly happy with 10 hours of sleep a night. She naps for an hour and a half some days, and some days doesn't nap at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730468 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 10:37:53 +0000 mamabolt 2730468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 month old only gets about 10h at night plus 2 to 3 in naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730465 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 10:16:49 +0000 Miss Flamingo 2730465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! This does make me a lot better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730460 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 09:44:07 +0000 Portboston 2730460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read the normal amount of sleep at that age is prettt varied. Most 1 year olds are good with 11-14 hours a day. So if he's taking a decent nap, 9 hours a night is fine. If he's taking 2 naps, I would probably try to move towards one in hopes of getting a later wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730459 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 09:43:34 +0000 Anagram 2730459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Flamingo: For a lot of kids, that wouldn't be enough....but some kids are just low sleep needs! My first was like that. I think she always got about 9.5 hours of overnight sleep (still does!), but then she had a 2 to 2.5 hour nap, so I thought she was doing well.</p> <p>These days, she still sleeps about 9.5 hours overnight, but is also dropping her nap so sometimes she gets only 9.5 in a whole day. She seems okay though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730453 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 09:01:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2730453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1 yr old sleeps about that much at night...8 pm to 5:30 am. He takes one nap a day at daycare for about 2.5 hours. He takes a cat nap when we first get him home. I'm trying to be faster getting dinner on the table to avoid that nap and push up bedtime.</p> <p>His doctor didn't say he should be getting more sleep. I didn't realize he was missing something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730447 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 08:08:08 +0000 bloved 2730447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1 year old only gets about 10 hours (7:30-5:30). I've tried doing bedtime earlier, but it just winds up taking him longer to settle. Overall he seems happy though, so no help, just commiseration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730445 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 07:54:04 +0000 ShootingStar 2730445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he on one nap or two? If he's on two, I'd drop a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-one-year-old-only-gets-9-hours-of-sleep-at-night#post-2730443 Sat, 29 Apr 2017 07:40:53 +0000 Miss Flamingo 2730443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! I don't know why but I just can't get this sleep thing right with my kids and I try so hard. I'm looking for advice or reassurance that this is ok? </p> <p>My son is a terrible terrible sleeper. Although last month he started to sleep though the night but he would sleep 6-4. I've been working on making his bedtime later, in the hopes he will shift his sleep. For the past 3 week he will sleep 7:30-4:30 or 8:00-5:15. I don't get him out of his crib until 5:30 but he has only once put himself back to sleep. He puts himself to sleep at bedtime and all through the night. He seems happy but 9 hours of night sleep just isn't enough, right?</p> <p>Any suggestions? </p>
