Sleeping question

[BrightEyes]

It may be that she needs more sleep but how much sleep does she usually get at night? I read your other posts yesterday but I forget if you had mentioned the length.

Children that age need 12-14hrs of sleep per day. So if she is sleeping 11+hrs at night then she may only need an hour or so nap during the entire day. My daughter is the same age, sleep 12+ hrs at night and only 45mins during the day.

Having said that, she can still have "quiet time" as others have said once she wakes up. Maybe put a cloth book in the playpen or hang it on the side so when she wakes up she has something "quiet" to do.

She doesnt have consistent nighly sleep either. She actually sleeps better during the day when she's slept for 11 hours. when she sleeps for 45 min or a hour in the afternoon, it is clear that she is still tired. You can see it in her eyes. Shes not miserable when she's tired but there is a definate change in behaviour so i feel that she needs more than an hour. On the odd days where she has slept for 2 hour or slightly more she is clearly rested and ready for the rest of the day. I'm stumped and worried that she will be the type not to nap in which case she will have to move to another daycare because naptime is required especially for kids this age and once a little older, quiet time. She is far too young to understand quiet rest time.
