Ds is 22 months old and sleeps everyday during the day for 1.5-2 hours and 11 hours at night. Am I supposed to start forcing him to reduce this bit by bit or do they stop when they're ready?

What age are they supposed to stop sleeping in the day?

leave things as they are - sounds like he is just fine

DS is 23 months and has a sleep in the day - he needs it

All babies/toddlers are different let him grow out of sleeping during the day in his own time, he's still sleeping well on a night. 1st time my little one stayed awake all day he was 15mths it nearly killed me, but he didnt grow out of sleeps altogether til he was about 2 1/2.

That's great. I have to admit I'm really goona miss it when he does stop sleeping in the day. And he does need it. He gets really tired even if his nap has been cut short..

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
