How long does your 16 month old nap?

My 16 month old has spent the last two months nap transitioning and we're finally consistently down to one nap a day. It's usually around 12/1230 which is great but he will not sleep past the 1hr 45 minute mark!
He's always been on the higher end of sleep needs (eldest was on the lower end) so I feel like this isn't really long enough. I try to resettle but he has none of it. Night sleep sees 10.5-11 hours.

Will his nap lengthen? Or is he just going to be a 1hr 45 min toddler😅

My eldest napped for 1h 50 minutes on the dot when we dropped to one nap at about 15 months.

By age 2 we had to wake him as bedtime didn’t happen if it went beyond 2 hours. There is hope!

My 16 month old has been having only one nap for months now and is about an hour and a half, sometimes shorter. Sleeps 12 hours during the night. If he had a longer nap it would be harder to get him down in the evening and he would be later going to bed so I'm happy his nap isn't any longer

My 16 month old naps for usual 1.5 hours, but sometimes can be anywhere between 1-3
She's been on one nap since about 10 months (her decision not mine haha!)
Overnight is about 9-10 hours

DS is 15 months. He naps once a day from 10.30-12.30 (or 11-1) when I wake him for his lunch. He then sleeps 6.30-6.30.

Thanks everyone! That's made me relax a bit now. He had 90 minutes today so I guess it's in the normal range
