Sleeping too much?

I feel like this is a ridiculous question to ask, because I honestly feel really lucky with how much my boy sleeps, but at the same hand it makes me worry at times. My son will sleep 12-15 hours at night, and then take a 2-4 hour nap during the day. There have been a few days that I have gone in and woke him up at 10:45 am. /hen I talk to other moms I know with kids the same age, he is usually sleeping around 2-3 hours more in a day then their LO's. 

He's meeting all his milestones, he loves to eat, hes growing like crazy... I just don't know if there is a point where I should be concerned about just how much he likes to sleep. Anyone have any experience with this?

  • I dont have any experience but I wouldnt be concerned unless he is lethargic when he is awake. They do a lot of growing/developing when they sleep so I think more is better than less.

  • We have an appointment tomorrow and I'm going to bring it up. I really do feel ridiculous having a concern because I do have friends who have 2 year olds that still don't sleep through the night. It's just on the days that I feel like I barely see him I get a little worried. Today for example, he slept 13 hours at night and then took a 4 hour nap in the afternoon. 

    Thanks for the comments ladies!
