[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a lot of sleep!  I could see how it would be annoying trying to plan around a 4 hour nap.  My 2 year old sleeps 11-12 hours a night and naps 1-2 hours during the day.  Have you talked to your ped?  Does your child have healthy iron levels.

We talked to the Pediatrician at his 18 month check up sincs DS was still taking 2 naps a day at that point which we know was a little unusual. We also asked about his iron levels- which were fine.  He's always slept for about 16-17 hours a day. I am guessing my in-laws expected him to start needing less sleep?

I've always required a great deal of sleep so I don't find it unusual that DS does as well. [/quote]

So you have gotten a clean bill of health from your doctor . You don't need your in laws or anonymous internet people to guess if he's getting enough sleep or too much sleep , or if his health is ok

What you do need is some encouragement and solutions for maintaining your child nap and dealing with the grandparents . Perhaps a polite " I don't want to discuss this in front of DC, so this will be the last time we tell you his sleep is fine per his medical doctor , as well as his health ." Preferably coming from your husband [/quote]
