Is my baby sleeping to much?

lynseyburns1985

my little boy is 12 weeks old and I'm a little worried he is sleeping to much, he sleeps 9-6 through the night with no feeds and has 3 2hr naps during the day. He is thriving during his awake time and is meeting his milestones. Is 16hrs off sleep to much?

I'd say he's fine! My LO sleeps lots at near 12 weeks.

Lucky mom.. Small babies may sleep between 16-20 hours in a day. It's good and specially when she is growing well. I used to put my lo in a baby deedee sleeping bag and she is off for straight 7-8 hours. Such a blessing!!

A lot of brain growing happens when they sleep. Sleep is good for everyone!

During a couple of my little ones growth spurts she slept 20 hours a day. But she has slept 12 hours a night since 10 weeks. So add in a couple naps and she hits 16 hours easy. I wouldn't worry, as long as they are getting enough food when awake, sleeping is good for growing!

The 2-month fact sheet I have hanging on our fridge from our pedi says that between 2-4 months old the average baby sleeps 14-16 hours per day. So I would say you're in target, assuming some need a little more, some need a little less. My LO often gets between 15-16 between his 11 hour nights and naps. I sometimes worry it's too much but remind myself of the brain development and restoration that happens during his sleep!

My LO is 14 w and has had the same schedule for a month sounds the same as your little one.
