Hi sue This is the same as my 18month girls sleep routine. A 2 hour nap and 11 hours overnight is very typical for this age, but each bub has their own sleep needs and this varies. If it takes her about 15 mins to fall asleep and she is happy and content throughout the day then those are signs this is great amount of sleep for her ☺️ (I’m a sleep specialist)
@Sheridan thank you so much ! Wow sleep specialist ! With the time falling a sleep- if longer than 15mins means not enough physical activity or dinner? Sometimes this happens makes me pulling my hair and inner shouting why

If its taking longer than 15-20 mins then she probably doesn’t have enough sleep pressure (drive for sleep). So if that’s happening consistently you can push bedtime back a bit so that it’s in sync with her body clock which makes it much easier. Doing some physical activity in the afternoon can help with sleep as well. Also a bedtime routine if you don’t already ☺️ I know the feeling of bedtime just starting to take foreverrrr and usually it’s because her sleep needs have changed and bedtime or nap time needs adjusting a bit
