how many hours should a 2.5 year old child sleep in a day?
Answers:
As much as they need!
Other Answers:
around 3 hours at the day time and 9 hours at night time
Mine slept 10 to 12 (including a nap)
My son's Doc. told me 12-14 hours, at that age. Either nap & bedtime or just at night. Mine gave up naps at 2 yrs.

depends on the child, its a case of mothers instincts really and how many sleepless nights you want.x
as much as they need to thats when they grow and fight off infections! (not that they have infections but...if something is brewing they need this time to build amunities) LET THEM SLEEP!!
My 2-year old sleeps 1 hour during the day and 10 to 11 hours at night. It's very variable, though; sometimes she does more, sometimes needs less. It's also variable from child to child and age to age, so you really can't be prescriptive about these things.
For example, one of my friends has a daughter aged 2.5 who doesn't need a mid-day nap at all, and will sleep for 11 hours at night. Another friend has a son, aged 2, who will sleep 3 hours during the day and 12 at night!! Some people get all the luck...
They average 10 to 12 hours total - all in one go with no nap, or split up if they still nap. Some days they will sleep a little less (8-10 hours), some days a little more(12 - 14 hours). Just depends.
It depends on the child. is he or she in day care? if so how many hours is nap time, add this to the number of hours received at night and it should equal between 10-13 hours a day. This is needed for the child to perform at his best. Of course weekends are an exception, although if they maintain the schedule on the weekends you don't have to worry about fighting with them Monday morning.

An average of 13 hours a day. But my two year old sleeps 13 hours at night and still takes a two-three hour nap every afternoon so not all kids are by the book.
In every 24 hour period he should sleep 14 hours total.
Each kid is different.i have a 4 year old and 27 month old.They both sleep 11 to 14 hours a day.But i know for sure that 2.5 year old needs to have a nap during the day.Their brain needs that brake.
