I would say he averages about an hour.

We wake him at 4 if he's not up. He's been sleeping about 830-730. </p> <p>I'm trying to get him to nap earlier but it ends up being when dd needs her second nap so I just put them both down at the same time so I'm not spending my whole day with one kid napping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723571 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 15:15:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 2723571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 months and generally 2-2.5 hours.

We have started waking him up at the 2.5 hour mark to preserve his overnight sleep (usually about 11-11.5 hours, which we cherish). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723183 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:49:41 +0000 mrskansas 2723183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old naps anywhere from 1-2 hours, never any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723182 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:47:29 +0000 LBee 2723182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 years old, usually a 2.5 hour nap (1 PM to 3:30 PM). We wake him up by 4 PM and he's in his crib for bedtime by 7:30 PM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723142 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 22:24:26 +0000 cornucopia8 2723142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 months old. She'll nap 45 minutes to up to 3 hours. Some days she'll skip altogether if there's too much fun happening around her (like at Grandma's house). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723134 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 21:56:02 +0000 Grace 2723134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, I woke her at 2 hours every day. No way was I dealing with later bedtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723126 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 21:35:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2723126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 27 and 15 month olds nap from 12:30-3:00. If I don't wake the older one she'd sleep until 3:30-4:00. Littlest is in bed at 7:30, middle is in bed at 8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723109 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:26:59 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2723109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are usually lucky if LO has a 1.5hr nap, maaaybe 2hrs. She's 22mos. I don't try for a regular nap time, but follow her cues. We probably could/should try harder to have more defined nap &amp; bedtimes, but overall she gets about 12hrs total sleep on average. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723105 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:12:13 +0000 gentlelunette 2723105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2ish hours, usually. Her home daycare provider is much less strict on set nap times so she doesn't always go down at the same time every day. When she's home on the weekends, she goes in her crib around 12:50/1 and I never let her sleep past 3/3:15. Bedtime is at 7:30. She just turned 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723104 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 20:12:07 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2723104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically wake at 3pm because I can't handle late bedtimes while pregnant! She usually only sleeps that late because she's upset and trying unsuccessfully to skip her nap. </p> <p>My daughter is 20 months and will sleep about 1-1.5 hours. A long nap for her is 2 hours. But she also does okay with no nap and an early bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723080 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:17:45 +0000 shellio 2723080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3, my oldest would nap for 3-4 hours and then take forever to go to sleep. We started having to wake him after 1.5-2 hours, then he would go to bed at his usual time. My second, sadly, stopped napping around the time he turned 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723076 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:14:04 +0000 winniebee 2723076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28 months -- at school during the week naps around 90 minutes -- some days more, some days less. At home, usually 2-3 hours. Sleeps 10.5-11 hours at night typically. I never wake him up! He has higher sleep needs than his older brother ever did (by this age, his older brother was a sometimes napper). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723073 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:11:09 +0000 MenagerieMama 2723073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang everyone! My LO tries to skip about a nap a week and when she does nap it's 1-2 hrs. 3 hrs would be amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723072 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:10:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2723072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is 3 and he usually naps about 90 minutes, sometimes less, sometimes more.

Normally 2.5 on the dot though. She goes down at 1 and we make sure she is up by 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723047 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:25:10 +0000 gingerbebe 2723047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 30 months. Lately, he has been having some issues napping at school because it's an earlier time than he naps at home, they are in an open room with all his friends, and his language is really exploding. So he's been skipping naps at school once or twice a week the last month or so. When he naps well, he does the full 2 hour nap period. </p> <p>At home, in the quiet and in his blacked out room, he sleeps soundly for 2.5-3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723044 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:22:29 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2723044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: We don't let her sleep past 3:00 for naps. Her night sleep is usually about 10-12 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723043 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:21:53 +0000 Aria 2723043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 25 mo and naps for 1.5-2 hrs. I wake her almost everyday promptly at 3 or she WILL NOT go to bed at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723041 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:18:56 +0000 SweetiePie 2723041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5yo and he always naps a minimum of 2 hours. Pretty often 2.5hrs and very occasionally 3hrs. I'd say maybe once or twice a month I have to wake him so that bedtime isn't totally derailed.</p> <p>ETA: he's always in his crib for 3 hours, I should add. So if he wakes at the 2 hour mark I won't get him till 3 hours has passed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723029 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 16:41:47 +0000 youboots 2723029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She naps up to 3 hours. Sometimes 1 1/2. Just depends on the day. It's rare that we wake her but we don't let her sleep past 4. Maybe once every 14 days or so we wake her.</p> <p>How long is nighttime sleep? Do you have control over waketime or naptime? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nap-length#post-2723028 Tue, 11 Apr 2017 16:39:03 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2723028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 27-month-old daughter either doesn't nap at all or naps for 3 hours unless I wake her, which makes for a very late bedtime. How long does your toddler nap? Do you wake them? </p>
