How long is too long?

DS is 15months and has recently decided he's a one nap a day kind of boy, but he will sleep for 2.5 to 3hrs! (Goes down around 1130, then has late lunch) Should I be waking him earlier? He is still sleeping through at night though, so should I leave him?
Thank you

yes leave him.

Doesn't sound like there is any reason to wake him! I'd leave him be - that sounds about right to me.

My DD is nearly 20m and has been havin one nap a day since around a year. She will sleep the same although recently its gone to about 1 to 1 and a half hours and sometimes I wake her otherwise she won't go to bed at night. But at 15m that sounds perfectly normal.

Leave him!
Lucky you, lol.

Leave him you lucky thing! I'm lucky if my 9mo has a 20min nap once a day!

2.5-3 hours is great - let him sleep. Mine slept for that long as well.

That sounds like heaven

TheProvincialLady · 13/05/2008 15:47

Oh gordon bennett, let him sleep. You lucky thing!

[Imagines a world where there is both sleep during the day and at night, or even either of these]

DiscoDizzy · 13/05/2008 15:48

of course you should leave him, although if he's night time sleep suddenly changes, i'd knock 30 mins off the sleep (at the end, not the beginning) and see how he goes from there.

DiscoDizzy · 13/05/2008 15:49

if his

that was meant to say.

dizzydixies · 13/05/2008 15:50

def leave him if he is sleeping through, you'll miss it soon enough

Sounds fine to me. My daughter had similar long naps at that age - wonderful me time for getting chores done.

Yorky · 13/05/2008 20:06

Never mind the chores - its my nap time too! Am 12wks with #2 so was worrying about being selfish and letting him sleep so I got more rest.
Thank you all, thats the answer I was looking for! And I'll watch for night time disruption DD and follow your 30 min advice.
