cant remember average sleep time for 19 month old?

[legend_018]

cant remember average sleep time for 19 month old? Night and day? If your 19 month old has a longer night sleep one night, do you make sure the next day's nap is shortened so it doesn't go over the average.

DO people find themselves trying to control how long they nap for so there is some consistency with bedtimes, night time sleeps?

Hi-  I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but this is what my 19 mo is doing:
11 hours at night
2 hours naptime during daytime

I don't really control how much daytime sleep he gets other than I don't let him sleep past 3:15PM for his naps and I wake him up if for any reason he was sleeping at 8AM. He's never napped longer than 3 hours, so I've never had to shorten naps....

Hi there, I was about to post a similar question...I am having to tweak naps in my almost 18 month old because if I let him sleep more than 2 hours in the day it seems to cause a seriously long nightwaking...like 2 hour night waking!!!!   I am struggling to understand what his sleep needs really are between the NWs, teething etc...I think there was a link about it on the EASY board in FAQs, I will go and have a look....
