How many hrs of sleep in a is essential for a toddler?

Here’s a general guide (taken from: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/guide/sleep-children): 1-4months: 14-15hours 4-12 months: 14-15hours (most get about 12hours) 1-3 years: 12-14hours (most get about 10hours) 3-6 years: 10-12hours (most get about 9hours) As a child grows, the number of naps decreases. For example, at around 18 months a baby usually starts to only take one nap a day. When this happens, you can try to get your baby to sleep earlier to help increase the amount of sleep they can get.
