    I wouldn't worry about "normal" - as you can see, everyone's kids are so different. My DS does 2 day naps - one for 40mins, and the other for 1.5 - 2 hours. He will then sleep 8:30pm(ish) - 6:30am(ish).

    I would LOVE DS to do a 4 hour day nap - you must get so much done! Enjoy it

    DD is 16 months old and sleeps anywhere between 3-5 hours during the day.

    The first nap is normally around 10.30am - 1pm and depending on what we've been up to during the day she will often have another nap from 4-6pmish.

    DP and I joke that she's like her mum and dad - just not a morning person. She basically gets up, has her milk then breakfast, a bit of a play then says "see ya later".

    The late nap, by the way, does not seem to affect her night sleep though it does mean she goes to bed later. But often that suits me because I can get myself sorted and have dinner prepared while she's in bed then when she gets up we're ready to go.
