Question
When can a 20-month-old child take a nap after lunch? How long should the nap be? How many meals should they have in a day?
Answer
Babies usually have one nap. They can sleep an hour after lunch. If they fall asleep immediately after eating, it’s easy for them to get constipated because the food hasn’t been absorbed yet. It’s recommended to let your baby take a nap at a regular time every day, especially if they have the habit of going to bed early and waking up early in the morning. Eating three meals a day is sufficient.
