    My LOs are just about 16 months.
    How many hours should they be sleeping at night and then again during their 1 nap a day?

    TY!

    ETA - they are in bed around 630ish and wake at 6. they then nap from 12-2ish.

    It sounds like your twins are getting a good amount of sleep. My two usually sleep 12 hours a night and 2-3 hours during their nap.

    We have a pretty consistent schedule (we put the boys to bed between 7:30-8pm and go get them at 7:30am) but they vary wildly in how much sleep they actually get. Sometimes they babble for up to an hour after we put them down (especially Nate), and sometimes they get up a bit early, though never usually before 7. Sometimes (like today) they sleep until 8am. So I guess I give my guys the *opportunity* to sleep 11-12 hours at night, but it varies daily on whether they take me up on it or not. ;)

    They also nap from between 1.5-4.5 hours; Nate almost never more than 1.5 hours, and Jack has a "coma" about once a week where he sleeps over 4 hours.

    Jack has always needed more sleep than Nate.

    As long as they are waking up happy, and not grouchy, then they are probably fine. Every kid can be so very different in their sleep needs.

    Mine go down around 9-9:15 at night, sleep until 9-9:15 in the morning, and if I'm lucky nap for 1.5 hrs in the afternoon. Sometimes that's enough sleep. Sometimes they are tired and grouchy. If they are grouchy for a few days they will suddenly sleep in until 10-10:30, or nap for 2.5-3 hrs, and get themselves back on track.

    The average (for nighttime and naps combined) is 14 hrs a day from 6 months to 24 months of age.
    My LOs at that age were still taking 2 naps, napping a total of about 3 hrs a day and sleeping 11.5-12 hrs at night.
    Right now they sleep from about 7:30-7:30 and take one 2-3 hr nap after lunch.

    I'm not entirely sure how they nap at daycare... but...

    Weekends they sleep 7:30/8sih until 7/7:30, and then nap for 2-2.5 hours during the day.

    So that falls almost exactly into the aforementioned 14 hours a day.

    Mine take a 2 hour nap a day and go to bed anywhere between 6pm and 7pm (depending on how they are feeling--normally it is 7 but when sick, 6) and wake up around 630/7am.

    that's about the age we went from 2 naps to 1 a day...they sleep about 11-12hrs a night and take one nap a day for about 1.5-2hrs...i also have one that is a better sleeper than the other, so she will generally take a little longer of a nap...

    We dropped to 1 nap around that time. Bedtime then was 6:30 and they got up at 6. Nap was about 1 1/2 hrs, maybe 2 on a really good day.

    My girls sleep 13 hours a night (7pm-8pm) and nap for at least 2 hours a day (normally 3). This is either between two naps or a long one if I make them stay awake longer in the morning if we have playdates or something.

    My two go to bed at 7:30pm, wake usually right before 7am, and then are down for a nap from 1-3 usually. They sleep probably 1 1/2 hour of that time as they are playing and horsing around!
