DS fell asleep at 8.00pm last night and woke at 7.30am. He's been sleeping through since he was 9 months. Day nap around 12 and if not awake by 3 I'll wake him. Some days he goes without a day nap.

He's happy, healthy and a very active little boy. He's just had one set of 2 year molars come through so I'm expecting the other two soon. No teething symptoms other than some drooling.

I'm slightly worried he is sleeping too much. This new sleeping pattern started around 6 weeks ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to not be woken at 5.30am anymore but I can no longer rely on DS to wake me up early, I need to set my alarm.

I just wanted to get an idea of how long your 2 year old is sleeping for?

She's not quite two yet, but she sleeps 12 to 13 hours over night (uninterrupted) and she sleeps 2 to 3 hours during the day. At daycare she sleeps only for about 2 hours, but at home she usually does 3.

Lately we've been getting a good 3 hours from her during the day and at least 13 at night - I put it down to her being outside and running around a lot more because of the warm weather. Some times when she is really tired (and I am over listening to the whinging!), she will go down around 6pm and sleep through until 8am. So 14 hours overnight is not unheard of.

It is probably little more than all that fresh air wearing him out. But if you are concerned, a trip to your GP won't hurt. Does he have any other 'symptoms' or unusual behaviour?

My little one sleeps roughly 10hours at night and 2 hours during the day !

2 year old DD sleeps from about 7:30pm - 6/6:30am. And has 2-3 hour day sleeps. I've noticed since it's been warmer weather and we've been spending a lot of time at the beach and park etc, she has been having longer day sleeps and I often have to wake her up so she'll still go to bed at a decent hour that night

He sounds perfectly normal to me, and I think you're very lucky 6:30am is a sleep in here lol.

Definitely ask at the clinic or GP if you're worried about anything though.

Up until 2 weeks ago it was 10 at night, 2 in the day.
Now it is 11 at night and still 2 in day.
He is eating a lot more too. Recently weaned.

Sounds perfectly normal and nothing to worry about?

[mummy.to.one]

Sounds normal to me.

DS will go to bed around 7.30pm
Wake up can be anytime between 6 and some mornings 9am!!

Nap around midday, will sleep for 2.5hrs to 3.5hrs.

Some days he will not have a nap at all.

DD2 is 2.5 years. She has all but given up her day nap - for the last couple of months she has only slept on day care days and even then I have asked them to limit her naps to 45 minutes as if she sleeps any longer she will be up until midnight! So 4 days out of the week she has no day nap. At night she goes to bed around 6.30-7pm and will usually wake around 6am, but she can wake as early as 4.30am or as late as 8am. As a baby her sleep patterns were all over the place and she has only really just settled into a nice little routine in the last couple of months, thank goodness!

It doesn't sound like your little boy is sleeping too much to me. There is a pretty big range of normal when it comes to babies/toddlers sleeping habits.

My DD will be 3 in April but she has always needed less sleep than most people think she needs(yet is thriving and active!!).
She naps at about 2.30 till 4.30 or so (or 3 till 4.30) and then goes to bed at 9.30. Wakes at between 7 and 8 or rarely 8.30.

So all up, maybe 13 hours sleep out of every 24 hours I guess.
