[quote=Anonymous]No nap at 20 months is unusual, but 13 hours total sleep a day is well within the CDC recommendation of 11-14 hours for 1-2 year olds. Unfortunately I can understand why a nanny dislikes that (and frankly as a parent I wouldn’t like it either since I’d barely see them awake on a weekday). I don’t know if you can change it at this point. You need to disclose it and give a new nanny some leeway, whether to try to implement a nap or enforce quiet time. Possible the old nanny was inexperienced and didn’t know how to deal with nap issues either, but that’s water under the bridge if she’s already quit. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Naps-in-children%3A-6-months-7-years.-Weissbluth/4932c9e0cedf5239135134dd9113fed7ed2a08f8 https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/how_much_sleep.htm[/quote]
