How much is a 2 year old supposed to sleep?

A 2-year-old typically needs 11-14 hours of sleep per day, including naps.

Here's a breakdown:

* Nap time: Most 2-year-olds take one nap per day, lasting about 1-2 hours.

* Nighttime sleep: They should sleep for around 10-12 hours at night.

Important notes:

* Individual variations: Every child is different, so some 2-year-olds may need more or less sleep.

* Signs of sleep deprivation: If your child is consistently tired, irritable, having difficulty concentrating, or having behavioral issues, they may not be getting enough sleep.

* Consistency is key: Establishing a regular sleep schedule and bedtime routine is important for promoting healthy sleep habits.

If you have concerns about your child's sleep patterns, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician.
