How much should my 1 year old be sleeping during the day?? Right now she goes to bed at 8pm and during the week i wake her at 6:15am for work and she goes down for a nap by 8am for 1-2 1/2 hours than 2-3 hours when she wakes she goes back down for 1-2 hours. Is this to much?? On the week ends she goes to bed at 8pm and up at 7-8am and naps 2 hours after getting up. What does othe 1 year olds nap for??
Sounds just like my son at 1 year old. Some kids need more and some less. Be thankful that she is getting this sleep as not enough kids are getting that kind of sleep. Your lucky though, my son gets up at 7am every day. He doesn't discriminate about weekends! :>)
That's about what my daughter did at that age. You are lucky she is a good sleeper.

When my oldest was 1, he slept 12-13 hours at night, 2-3 hours during his morning nap, and then 2-3 hours again in the afternoon. I don't think that your daughter is getting too much sleep, especially if you have to wake her in the morning (my son always woke up on his own). When he was 17-18 months, his morning nap started getting shorter and then was eliminated, but again, he woke up in the morning on his own, so your daughter might hang on to it for awhile.

let her sleep as much as she wants. Kids need a lot of sleep. My DR recommended a great book. "Healthy sleep habits, happy child." I love it.
My one year old sleeps from about 7pm to 7am and naps for about an 1 1/2 hour at 9:30 and 1 1/2 hour at 1:30. I know sometimes at about 1 year old, they go to 1 nap a day, but I think it sounds like your little one is right on track.
that sounds right. one year old still need 14 - 15 hours of sleep.
Hi A.~
I read once that most babies can't go more than 2 hours w/o needing a nap, and all of mine have fit right into that theory. Babies need way more sleep than you think. Just pay attention to her cues of when she's sleepy and when she's ready to transistion...she'll guide you.
