How many hours should a 1-year-old nap? My mother-in-law says one thing, and what I read says something else.

For a 1-year-old, daytime sleep is typically 1.5–3 hours, usually one nap. Most babies this age nap once a day for about 2 hours total.
The reason your mother-in-law might say something different from what you're reading is this: some babies still need two short naps, while others have moved to one longer daytime sleep. Both are normal variations seen in babies 12-15 months old. What matters is the total sleep in 24 hours (daytime + nighttime) — 11–14 hours is enough for a 1-year-old.
If your baby sleeps well at night, seems cheerful and energetic while awake, then your sleep schedule is on the right track. If you and your mother-in-law are stuck on this, try keeping a log for a week of your baby's daytime naps and nighttime sleep; if the 24-hour total isn't dropping below 11 hours, you're doing fine.
