If your young toddler sleeps 10 hrs or less a night, how long is their nap?

DD is 1.5 years old. She has only been on 1 nap for about 2 weeks. Her sleep schedule is from 8:15-6:15, and she takes about a 3 hr nap. Her nap seems really long to me...much longer than my friends' kids. If your child sleeps only 10 hrs at night (and putting her down earlier does nothing, she's not tired), do they take a really long nap during the day? Should I start waking her at 1.5 hrs to see if her night sleep will lengthen?
TIA! |

| My 1 year old sleeps less than 10 hours a night and very rarely naps more than 2 hours. She has been on one nap for about a month now. |

| My 16 month old takes a 2.5 hour nap in the day and sleeps 7:30-6:30 - my now 3.5 year old son did the same at her age, maybe even longer in the nap department. So to me this is totally normal. And also, the longer the nap the more time I have to get things done in the day time.... so I am all for it! |

My 16 month old sleeps 8 hours and only naps at most 1 hour in the afternoon.
I am very jealous OP. |

| Mine was just like yours. Now 2.5 and still takes 3 hour naps. Although she is getting less consistent. Enjoy it while it lasts! I was just like you and thought it was too long and didn't know anyone who's kids napped that long. Now I realize it is common and totally fine and,frankly, a godsend. |

| Mine (2yo) sleeps about 10 hours per night and rarely naps. My older one slept 11 hours per night and took 3+ hours every day until he was 5. I'd follow the child's lead. |

This is my DS exactly. The nap is usually 3 hours. |

| Now 2.5 but since she was about 14mos and dropped to one nap she's consistently slept 9.5-10hrs at night with a solid 2hr nap. We've tried later bedtimes, earlier bedtimes, different naptimes and it makes no difference. |

| My son has been taking a 3-hr nap since that age and he is now 3. He tends to sleep 10-11 hours at night. Roll with it! |
