A member asked:

How much should my 17 month old sleep? how many naps should i put him down for a day

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nap time: Usually at this age, 2 naps /day is average. The nap time can be x 1-2 hours or sometimes even less. This should not affect bedtime sleep time, but sometimes does if they nap too long, then aren't sleepy.
