22 Month Old Sleep Schedule
Personal Experience
As a parent of a 22 month old, I understand the importance of establishing a consistent sleep schedule for my child. At this age, toddlers need around 11-14 hours of sleep per day, including naps. However, getting my child to sleep and stay asleep has been a challenge. I have done some research and consulted with my pediatrician to come up with a 22 month old sleep schedule that works for my child.
