How much sleep should my toddler be getting?
On average your toddler will sleep anything from 11-14 hours in a 24 hour period.
At 12 months your child may have 1-2 naps, totalling a time of 2 - 2.5 hours of napping. However, some children will sleep a lot less.
At around 18 months your toddler’s time spent napping may reduce, and most children stop napping between age 3-4 years, but every child is different.
A good sleep routine will help your child to sleep well and wake up refreshed and ready for a day of playing.
