How much A time for 18 month old?

[beckygatt]

Just wondering how much A time your toddlers need/needed at 18 months? Mine is nearly 19 months and was doing well with 5-5.5 hrs but recently doesn't seem that tired after 5 and a half. A couple of times I put her down for nap after this much A time and she spent another 30mins playing in cot before sleeping which is unusal for her. She has 2hr naps and usually 11-12 hr nights.

Thanks!

My DS needed 5.5 at 18 months but he is now heading for 6 I think and he is nearly 2. x

Today I gave her 6hrs (7am till 1pm) and still she's in her cot resisting sleep! Surely she shouldn't need more than 6 hrs?

Isn't she teething? If so it is likely she needs the A time shortening a little.
