Naps how long?

My wee man is 15 months and at the moment is going to bed between 7.30 and 8pm till 7-8am and having an afternoon nap for at least 3 hours this seems like loads to me.
I know all children need different amounts of sleep but does / did anyone else find their lo's slept this much during the day?
I'm not complaining its a great break for me at the moment as i'm so tired with being pregnant just wondering!

Thanks

    At that age Millie used to go to bed at 7.30 and sleep till 8-8.30 and have one nap of between 2-2 1/2 hours after lunch so it doesn't sound like too much to me. Millie is 2 now and has gradually dropped down to about 1 1/2 hours in the day.

    Isaac is 16 months, he goes to bed between 6 and 6.30 and he sleeps to between 7 7.30 on the morning, his nap ranges from 1 1/2 hours to 2 1/2 hours in the day so I would say thats fine. x

    god Lewis is a great sleeper (touch wood) lol - he gets up at 7ish then he is asleep at 10ish for about 3 hours has his lunch and plays for awhile and he usually sleeps from about 3ish till 5ish then he has his tea plays about and gets his bath at 6 and away to bed at 7!

    this is not a regimental routine, he just likes to sleep i dont make him he just falls asleep, we can be out and about and he will fall asleep in his car seat or buggy! he is such a strippy little shit if he doesn't get sleep!

    Sonny has always had long naps, when he is at his cm's. He wakes up around 7-8 am after being put down at 7.30pm then goes down for an hour between 9am & 11am. Then they go to playgroup or the park & he has another 1.5-2hrs in the atfernoon too.

    His cm is off at the mo so he seems to be condensing his 2 naps into one 3 hr one at the moment but thats cause he isn't being carted off to playgroup or a school run or has other kids running around to disturb him I think.

    So I would say the amount of sleep is just fine. oh, Sonny is also 15 months.

    I think they are all pretty similar really. Ethan has around 12 hours at night 7/8pm - 6:30/7:30am and he has around 3 hours in the afternoon although getting him down to 1 long sleep instead of 2 little ones took a bit of doing. A few double brandies helps :lol:
