A. the baby is 1 year 6 months of age most of the babies will be sleeping continuously 6 to 8 hours at a stretch if baby is sleeping more than that and baby is comfortable probably there is no need to disturb the baby from sleep

A. some babies will not take after noon nap and just sleep at night.. it is fine if the baby is having sound sleep, once.. you may try to make the baby have a after noon nap as now during the summer it will be better for baby to have nap to feel freshed in the evening..
