My 12 month old consistently sleeps 13.5-14 hours overnight (with no wake ups) and takes one 1.5-2.5 hr nap. By no means am I complaining about his awesome sleep other than am a bit worried that it's too much! He just had his one yr doctor appointment & ped was surprised he slept so much, especially at night but didn't seem too concerned. He was slightly anemic so he's on iron drops now but other than that appears healthy & has met all milestones. My 3 yr old is STILL a horrible sleeper so I'm not used to this!! Anyone else have a sleepy young toddler???

Until about 2, I consistently slept 16-20 hours a day. My baby book at 9 month says "we don't really know Jess. She sleeps all the time!" Haha. I got into normal sleep patterns shortly after 2.

My LO was the same at that age! 13 hours at night and a 2 hour on average nap, sometimes 3!
-
DD was like that at a year. 12-13 at night and two 2 hour naps.
-
My DD slept a lot too. She was doing like 16 hours a day at that point. Some kids just have high sleep needs.

Thanks so much! Makes me feel so much better. I just have never experienced this thing called babies sleeping

My 2 year old sleeps about 11-12 hours a night and a three hour (or more) nap during the day. He is a BUSY kid though. I think he just goes so hard he needs his rest!

LO 2 was like that until 14 months!

@MommySLP: yup at one year my LO slept 12-13 hrs at night plus a 2-3 hr nap so about the same. At 18 mo he still sleeps 12hrs at night and a 2 hr nap. Enjoy it!

I was like that as a baby. I still have higher sleep needs than average.

B is 17 months old and usually at least twice a week she sleeps for 14 hours at night and then a good 2 hour nap that day. The other 5 days a week she usually sleeps for 13 hours and a 1-2 hour nap. She's always required more sleep, but I'm the same way.

Thanks everyone for your comments! I won't worry about it & hopefully it'll continue for a while!!!

Olive used to sleep 14 hours at night too! Just appreciate how glorious it is because it doesn't last forever.

Ours is 11 months and sleeps 13ish hours overnight, then takes one 2-2.5 hour nap and another 1-2 hour nap every day when he's at home. He doesn't sleep that well at daycare, though! Just enjoy it while it lasts, haha

My son did this from 12-14 months... slept 12 hours at night plus 2 2-3 hour naps everyday. It was glorious but definitely didn't last!!
-
My LO was like this. Once she started STTN at a year she'd sleep 7-8/8:30 then take a 2-3 hr nap. She's almost 17 months and still sleeps 12-12.5 hours overnight plus a 2-hour nap.

My daughter is 22 months and still sleeps that much. Some kids just have high sleep needs.
