Sleep Needs, Age-by-Age
Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to how much daytime sleep a child needs. It all depends on the age, the child, and the total amount of sleep he or she gets in a 24-hour period. For example, one toddler may sleep 13 hours at night with only some daytime catnapping, while another gets 9 hours at night but takes a solid 2-hour nap each afternoon. Though sleep needs are highly individual, the following age-by-age guidelines give an idea of average daily sleep requirements:

Birth to 6 months:
Infants require about 16 to 20 total hours of sleep per day. Younger infants tend to sleep on and off around the clock, waking every 2 or 3 hours to eat. As they approach 4 months of age, sleep rhythms become more established. Most babies sleep 10 to 12 hours at night, usually with an interruption for feeding, and average 3 to 5 hours of sleep during the day (typically grouped into two or three naps).

6 to 12 months:
Babies this age usually sleep about 11 hours at night, plus two daytime naps totaling 3 to 4 hours. At this age, most infants do not need to wake at night to feed, but may begin to experience separation anxiety, which can contribute to sleep disturbances.

Toddlers (1 to 3 years):
Toddlers generally require 10 to 13 hours of sleep, including an afternoon nap of 1 to 3 hours. Young toddlers may still be taking two naps, but naps should not occur too close to bedtime, as they may make it harder for your child to fall asleep at night.

Preschoolers (3 to 5 years):
Preschoolers average about 10 to 12 hours at night, plus an afternoon nap. Most give up this nap by 5 years of age.

School-age (5 to 12 years):
School-age children need about 10 to 12 hours at night. Some 5-year-olds may still need a nap. If a regular nap isn’t possible, the child might need an earlier bedtime.

Most parents underestimate the amount of sleep their child needs, so be sure to watch your child’s behavior for signs of insufficient sleep. Signs of sleep deprivation can range from the obvious — like fatigue — to more subtle problems with behavior and schoolwork.

Answer 2

My cousin's baby, my most recent example, took 2 naps daily at that age. First nap was typically 2 hours, second usually longer, but not always. She just turned 2 last month and has one nap for about 2 hours about 4 out of 7 days.

Answer 3

my 13 month old son still takes 2 naps a day and the first one is for one hour the second one is 45 min to an hour..im trying to get him on the one nap a day schedule and that is starting right after lunch 12:30 and lasts until about 1:45

Answer 4

wakes up at 6:30, naps from 9:30-11:30, and again from 2:00-4:00, goes to bed around 8 pm. This is the schedule that the kid I nanny for followed when she was that age. She gave up her morning nap around 20 months, and slept for 3 hours in the afternoon.

Answer 5

My daughter made the transition from two naps to one around that age, if I remember correctly - some days there were two hour long naps, other days one big 2 1/2-3 hour nap.

Answer 6

My little one has just turned 14 months but is still the same. If we are at home in the day she goes down for a nap in her cot around 10am and will sleep from two or three hours. If we are out she will have two hour long naps in her pram

Answer 7

After my son reached 1 year he had only one nap a day for about 2 hours.

Answer 8

my son was usually taking a nap in the morning and then one after lunch time. His usually lasted between 30 minutes and a hour. But it all depends on your childs. It may be okay with one nap a day or may need more
