Sleeping too much?

kdsmith43

LO goes down for the night around 8:00 and wakes up around 5:30-6... so around 10 hours. He goes down for his first nap at about 9 and that typically lasts 2-3 hours. His second nap is after lunch and that one is about 2 hours.

Do you all think that is too much? My DCP expressed concern about it and it started to make me worry.

I don't think that's too much.  The troublesome tots website says most babies this age sleep 11-12 hours at night and take 2 1-2 hour naps during the day.  Your little man gets an hour less than that at night and an hour more than that during the day.  It sounds like he's evening it out during the day for what he misses at night.  I wouldn't be concerned!

Sounds perfect to me! If there were a sudden change in behavior and he was miserable/cranky when awake I'd be worried about illness but if he's just a child that likes his sleep or going through a growing stage then no worries!  And enjoy that extra down-time!

Nope. Sounds totally normal to me.

I think that sounds awesome.

So, yeah, I wouldn't be worried if he seems to be happy and healthy.

Sounds normal to me. M sleeps 12 hours at night and then takes two 1.5-2 hour naps during the day (give or take).

Thanks for your input everyone, sounds like he is pretty on track right now. He's VERY active when he is awake, so I figured that would also be a factor.
