A child's sleep at age 3

By age three, your little one is sleeping an average of 12-13 hours a day, and theirsleep cycles are almost identical to yours!

  • At this stage o their life, your child is still growing, so he still sleeps a lot and often needs a little nap in the middle of the day.
  • Because their sleep patterns are almost identical to those of an adult, they dream a lot and sometimes wake up during the night, especially if they have a little nightmare.
  • On weekends, try to keep the bedtime to a minimum, but in the morning, let your little one sleep as much as he wants.

So anyone else who room shares with their kids (I have an almost 2 year old and a 3 month old who don't have their own rooms yet we r building them in our new house) but I said it's nap time which normally is fine but my toddler asked me what I was doing bc I got up to turn the light off my infant won't sleep with it on now and I simply answered "I'm turning the light off bubba needs a nap" my toddler just bursted in to tears and start throwing stuff even tho he doesn't nap till 3 pm his brother naps around 11 or 12 and it's currently 12:18 in the afternoon now and he's throwing a huge hissy fit over his baby brother needing a nap anyone elses toddlers do that?
