What is the ideal bedtime for a 3-year-old?

There’s no such thing as an ideal bedtime. It’s what works for your child and your family. Average sleep totals for 3-5 year olds are 10-13 hours including nap. On that schedule he’s getting a perfectly average amount of sleep.

My son is almost 3 and typically wakes around 6:45, naps 1-3 at daycare and goes to bed around 9pm. He sleeps about 11.5 hours per day - although that’s starting to decrease a bit as he gets older.

Mine has at least 1-2 naps a day and goes to sleep at 10pm but I work in London and pick him up around 6pm so I prefer I have that time with him, it is hard but we make the most of our time most nights, there isn’t an ideal time it is what fits around your lifestyle

There's obviously an ideal time just that it varies by alot because I doubt anyone wants their small sleeping at 1am 🤔 10pm is a good time to aim for imo as the latest a bub should be asleep. Mow my 3 yo can go without afternoon naps but still gets cranky so if I can I still put her down for just over an hour. However thst nap is now interrupting her night nap as it's pushing her fall asleep time by 30 mins. She gets tired at 8pm but with her fomo she won't allow herself to sleep. Once she starts kinder I hope she'll be sleeping by 2030 because now it's 10pm.
