Two years old is such a big milestone—not just for development, but for sleep too! 💫
Here’s what you can expect around age 2:
👉 Naps: Usually 1 nap per day (1–3 hours)
👉 Overnight Sleep: 10–12 hours
👉 Total Sleep: 11–14 hours in 24 hours
And on the development side? Your toddler is busy learning all the things:
💬 Language is exploding—hello, new words every day!
🧩 Problem-solving skills are emerging (aka “I do it myself!”)
🌪️ Big feelings are on the rise (hello, tantrums) as they learn to navigate independence.
😴 All of these leaps can affect sleep—so if you notice bedtime battles, nap resistance, or new night wakings, you’re not alone. It’s part of the journey!
