Question: how many times a day should a 1 year old sleep?
Answer: Typically, children this age sleep for about 11 1/2 hours at night and take two naps during the day for a total of about 14 hours out of every 24. By the time your child reaches his second birthday, he may be sleeping about an hour less, with only one nap making up part of his typical 13 hours or so of downtime.
