dd is 29 months and take a nap at midday for abt 2 hrs give or take a bit
we ususally put her to bed btwn 7-8 and she wakes up at abt 7
thing is she doesnt always fall asleep right away sometimes she plays or just talks to her self even for a few hrs. is this normal?
how much sleep should a child this age be getting?

my son turned 2 in Jan. I put him down to nap att 11:00 am, since he does not fall asleep right away but naps approx from 12-2. then for the night I put him down between 6-7 p.m since it takes him time to fall asleep (shares a room with 3.5 yr old brother at night!!!) and wakes up between 6:30-7 am.

My 26 month old is not much of a sleeper (never was.) He sleeps 8 (if I'm lucky then 9 and once in a blue moon 10) hours a night plus a 1-1.5 hour nap.

My twenty eight month old daughter was never a sleeper. She does not nap anymore unless we are in the car late in the day and then she falls alseep out of exhaustion. She goes to bed around 6-630 and wakes up around 7.
