How long does your 18month old nap?

[scucci1979]

I know there is a sleep regression at 18months and am wondering how long other los naps and nighttime sleep are.

I just hate waking up a sleeping toddler, but if I don't we get an earlier wake up.

I never let henry sleep more than 2 hours and he needs 5.5 A time after 2 hour nap.
At the moment we are getting 1.5-2 hour naps and 11 ish nights. Amazing for us He is quite low sleep needs although since we finally got to one nap he is doing more than a few months ago.....x

Mine has shorter sleeps at nursery 4 days/week than at home:  1.5-1.75 hours generally.  At home on his catch up days he will sometimes go up to 2.5 if I leave him, but I think that anything over 2 hours really affects our nights so I have decided to start waking him at 2 hours.

J is a bit older now - but the answer is 1.5-2hrs to nap and a max 11hrs night.

He often wakes after 1.5hrs of his nap - but other times would sleep for 3 hrs if I let him  .

No longer than 2 hours or else we have bedtime nonsense for  hours!!!  We get an 11.5-12 hour night.  12 hour nights only recently which is nice!

We do a 1.5 hr nap and get an 11.5 hr night.

We have a lot of trouble with sleep in general But if we're on a good streak I find 1.5ish hour nap=10.5 hour night, 2ish hour nap (she never sleeps longer than 2 hours) tends to equal a slightly better night, around 11 hours. HTH

thanks ladies! The majority of the time, this girl can sleep for three hours or more- if I let her!
I am gradually reducing her nap so we don't get bedtime refusal.
