How many hours does your toddler sleep?
What I'd like is real information: how many hours a night does (or did if your kids are older) your toddler sleep, how often do they wake up, how many naps, and what time is bedtime.
Thanks for your input!
Answer:
My little dude will be 3 in January & here is his schedule:
Wake-up around 6:30-7:00 am
Nap: 1:00-2:00
Bedtime: 8:30 (sleeping by then)
He wakes up once in the night usually to crawl into bed with us & then falls right back asleep.
I agree the books are misleading...find a schedule that best fits your child. I have found that all the books are a guideline, go with your gut as no one knows your child better than you.
5-8 hours my brother use to sleep but now he isn't a toddler anymore.
Well when they were toddlers my daughter slept around 11-12 hrs a night. My son however has always been an early riser. He always woke up after about 9 or 10 hrs of sleep.
My three year old sleeps about 8-10 hours (he gets up at the crack of dawn) my 5 year old is about 10 hours.
I put mine to bed at 8 or 8:30. She is still waking up 3 or 4 times a night. Man am I I'm tired
ok i have a two and three year old. they both take a nap at noon till two and they both go to bed at seven thirty and wake up at seven the next morning. good luck.
Is your child under 2. If so, I would say 10 hrs per night, going to bed 8pm. Morning nap at 10am and afternoon nap at 2, each for an hour. After age 3, they usually go to 1 afternoon nap per day. Bedtime for you 9pm.. LOL
My son is 2 1/2 and he sleeps maybe 8 hours a night, with up to a two-hour nap a day. His bedtime is 9 p.m., mainly because he's up by 5 a.m. everyday. He's been sleeping through the night since about 6 months.
My 3 year old sleeps all night, for 9 hours. His bed time is 9:00/9:30.
My 2 1/2 year old sleeps about eight hours a night. She tends to get one nap around noon and wakes up between one and two o'clock. Then if she has had a nap she will go to bed about ten at night and will get up between six and seven. She stays busy all day long and sometimes she will not even take a nap. I hope this helps.
Mine averages about 10 hours per night. Hes 3 1/2. Also, he usually gets 1-1 1/2 hour nap per day...
He has always slept through the night. But I tell ya, if I would let him he would stay up all night long! He goes to bed every night at 8:30.. later on weekends if I am up too.
As toddlers, my three kids slept about 10 to 11 hours with 2 hour nap during the day. They all napped until they were about 4 years old. My youngest will be 5 next and still will nap about twice a week. My two younger children (5 and 8) have always gone to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 and my oldest (13 y/o) just recently starting staying up to 10:00.
hi ny boy is 2 and a half. he goes to bed at half seven and gets up between 7 and 8. he has an hours nap after lunch too. he doesnt always have a daytime nap but if he doesnt he is grumpy! i thin i have been really lucky my friends little boy gets up at 5 no matter what time he goes to bed!
My 2 year old goes to bed at 9:00 pm, usually sleeps all night til about 6:00 am and then naps about an hour in afternoon.
2 to 3 hour nap and normally 7-8 hours at night
My almost 3 year old is a night owl, he tends to go to bed about 10 or 10:30pm
My son is now 3years old. He sleeps 12 hrs at night an does not take a nap anymore. He goes down about 8pm-8:30pm and he sleeps until 8pm-9pm. We check on him on and off if we happen to get up in the middle of the night just to cover him. He has only woken up when he does not feel good, which has not been often(knock on wood). Hope this helps.
My 20 month old daughter goes to bed around 9 (I know, it's late) and sleeps until about 7 am (usually waking once or twice only for a short time). She naps for a couple hours in the day usually from about 12-2 pm.
My toddler ( Bella ) Sleeps 8 hours a night. Her bedtime is 7:35 no later. She wakes up at 3 A.M. saying there are monsters in her closet. My husband make room for her because she is small and can fit into our bed. She takes 4 naps a day. 10:00am ( After Breakfast ) she wakes up in the morning with us at like 9:30. And, 12:35 no later ( After Platime ) Lunch is at 11:00 to 11:30. 11:30-12:35 is playtime. And then, 12:35-2:00 is nap for her, and 2:00 is story time. I shouldnt be giving you a schedule im so stupid. Nap times no later than 10:00am, 12:35pm, 4:25pm, and 5:00pm. 6:30 is dinner on the table!! Then its Dinner, Bath, Bed. In bed by 7:30 no later.
my kids 17m and 30m go to bed @ 7pm and usually wake between 7:15am and 8am neither one wakes during the night(unless they fall out of bed) and both usually nap for approx 1 1/2hours a day although that can vary from no nap to 4hour nap
My daughter is 34 months and sleeps about 10 hours each night. She usually goes to bed around 9:00. Some nights she doesn't wake up at all and some nights she wakes up but goes right back to sleep. She does take a nap for about 2 hours during the day.
I have a friend who has a baby that only sleeps about 6 hours per night and most of the time doesn't take naps during the day. The baby is 19 months.
Just like adults, each child is different.
My daughter is almost 2 and she sleeps about 9 to 10 hours a night. She is in daycare during the week and has about a 2 1/2 hour nap there. On weekends she naps for 3 hours sometimes.
Hi if this helps at all. my little daughter sleeps from 12-4 during the day and at night she sleeps around 9:30 and she's up at 8/8:30.
try giving your kid warm milk before putting him to sleep it helped in my case,hope it'll help you too.
I'm not sure how many hours of sleep a night a toddler is supposed to have... but my kids don't seem to fit the "mold" when it comes to sleep. My daughter now 12 used to be up all night long when she was 2 to 5... she would nap for an hour or two during the day go to bed at 8 or 9 and then she would be up again at 10, 12, 2... I finally talked to the Dr. and he said to just try to keep her on a schedule. I finally told her if she was going to be awake to play quietly... she's still an insomniac.
My now 4 year old is very similar, but very much a creature of routine. She likes to go to bed at 10 after a story and she wakes at 6:30 every morning. She naps two hours during the day. (if only we could bottle that energy)
My neighbors kids are 9, 8 and almost 2 they all go to bed at 7 and wake at 7 the next day? So I guess it just depends on the kid and the schedule.
Good luck.
What's your definition of toddler? that makes a big difference. A one year old toddler may sleep way more than a 2 1/2 year old toddler. That said, my 2 1/2 year old sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 3 hour nap in the afternoon.
In bed by 9:30. Up by 8:30. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night but usually puts himself back to sleep. On average, he takes a one hour nap from 2 to 3 in the afternoon. He`s 19 months now. He`s a pretty active kid so maybe thats why he sleeps so well.
