DD1 went down to one nap a day around 14 or 15 months, nap was generally about 3 hours and she slept about 10.5/11 hours at night with 1 to 2 wake ups. DD2 will be 18 months this month and clocks about 4 to 5 hours worth of naps during the day (2 naps, the first 30 minutes to an hour, the second is generally about 3/3.5 hours) plus she STTN 11.5/12 hours. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for so much peace and ease surrounding at least one of my kids sleep but it seems like she sleeps a lot. How much sleep is/was your LO getting at 18 months?
-
My 19 month old is on one nap (daycare transitioned her at 15 months which IMO was a little early). Her nap is typically 1.5-2.5 hrs. At night she sleeps ~11 hours with no wake ups.
-
About 14 hours, 12 at night and 2ish hour nap
-
Wow. I wish my LO slept like either of yours. My 17mo sleeps 9.5-10 hours overnight with either 2 or 3 wake ups. He has one 1.5-2.5 hour nap (occasionally up to 3 hours if he's slept badly the night before).
-
12-13 overnight, no wakeups. One three hour nap.
-
Every kid is different! My DD had always slept less than both yours at the same ages.
-
At 18 months, DS2 was doing 11 hours overnight (no wakeups) and usually a 2-3 hour nap. So 13-14 total hours.
DS1 had lower sleep needs. He did 10.5 at night with a 1.5 hour nap at 18 months, for a total of 12 hours.
-
DD1 went to daycare -- she was doing around 12h overnight and 1.5-2h nap, so probably like 13h total on average.
DD2 is sleepier and didn't do full-time care at that age. She would do 11-12h overnight and a 2.5-3h nap, so more like 14h total on average, I'd guess.
-
DS is getting 11-12 overnight during the week, and 2.5-3 at daycare. He's been down to one nap since 1 year. On the weekend he gets 12-13 overnight, and 1-1.5 during his nap. So pretty consistently, he sleeps ~13-15 hrs of sleep per night, with 13-14 being the average. He just turned 18 months but his sleep schedule has been unchanged since he started daycare 6 months ago.
-
My LO is 18 months, naps 1.5-2 hours (one nap), and sleeps 11-12 hours overnight. No wake ups. Probably averages 13 hours total.
-
We were about the same as you at 18 months though he did start transitioning to one nap before 18 months. But some days he had 1 nap and some days 2. Totalling 3-4 hours. Then slept 7-7pm, give or take a half hour.
Now at 25 months he does one nap for 2.5-3 hours and sleeps from 7:30-6:30/7.
-
DD is 18 months and sleeps about 11-12 h at night, and takes a 2-2.5h nap.
-
At 18 months, he was at 1 nap. He slept for about 2 hours a day (90 minutes to 2 hours at daycare, 2-2.5 hours at home). Then he went to bed at 730pm and STTN until 7-730am.
He was going through a sleep regression at the time so he actually sleeps better now for naps than he did then.
At 25 months, he sleeps 2 hours at daycare and 3 hours at home for nap, and sleeps from 730pm to about 645-7am.
-
My DD sounds like your DD2. She has always needed a ton of sleep. At 18 months she had a 3 hour nap that we had to wake her from and slept 13 hours overnight (again we had to wake her).
-
DS has always had high sleep needs. At 18 months he had just gone to one nap, 1.5-2 hrs, and slept 6pm-7:15am. Now he's 24 months and on the same schedule. I don't think he's asleep the entire time at night but he stays in his crib quietly so I'm not going to bother him.
-
DD was doing probably 10-12 hrs at night with a 1-1.5 hr nap
-
@gingerbebe: somehow my brain already forgot about the 18 month regression! We also had that from about 18 months to 20-ish months. Naps were fine but he woke 1x a night 4-5 nights a week. But went right back down after a minute of rocking.
-
I think that's a lot of sleep, but my LO1 would sleep 10-11 hours at night with no wake ups with a 2-3 hour nap. He transitioned from 2 to 1 nap at 10 (!) months. He also cut his nap to every other day when he turned 2.5, and cut it completely once he turned 3.
LO2 is about 12 hours at night...sometimes with one wake-up, and he is already on 1 nap/day does anywhere between 1-3 hour naps. He's 12 months, and I'll take it. I find it crazy that there are kids out there who are still on 2 naps/day after a year and envy you!
-
Mine were/are a lot like yours. DS1 dropped to one nap at 11 months, usually slept 10-11 hours overnight and about 1.5 for nap. DS2, now 16 months, CAN do one nap (usually 3ish hours), but usually takes two (both about 2 hours long). Then he sleeps 12-13 hours overnight. I'm glad I got my good sleeper second or I would have thought something was seriously wrong with my first!
-
12 hours at night and 1 nap that is anywhere from 1.5 - 3 hours.
@gingerbebe: @SweetiePie: Why didn't anyone warn me about the 18 month regression?
-
@2PeasinaPod: I have always thought that having an LO on two naps at this age was strange too. That's why I was asking. She seems perfectly fine and normal in all other areas of life but she sleeps a lot. If there were even something a little off about her otherwise I'd probably be concerned. And now that she's older and so much fun, I wish she would quit sleeping so much so I could have time to actually get to know her better!!
-
I think some kids just have high sleep needs. I wish mine did. Haha. Actually I think dd does but too soon to tell!
At that age ds only slept 10-10.5 at night and mayyyyyybe 2 hour nap if I was lucky. But a lot of my friends kids do a 12 hour night and 2plus hour afternoon nap.
-
About 14 hours a day.
-
Roughly eleven hours overnight and a two hour nap during the day.
-
I can't remember with my first, somewhere along the lines of 12 hours at night and a 1.5-2hr nap I think.
My second was 13-14.5hr at night ( no wake ups) and usually a 2-3hr nap. She has high sleep needs.
-
One nap 2 to 2.5 hours and about 10 hours at night.
-
Not as much as I'd like her to get! About 10 hrs overnight & usually a 1.5 hr nap, some days she'll take a 2nd nap of 40-60min.
