Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Too much sleep possible?

Is it even possible for DC to sleep too much at this age? DS is sleeping 11-12 hours at night and then napping 2 times during the day for 2-3 hours each time. Today he napped for 4 hours for the morning nap and now is back asleep again! He really is only up for 2 hours or so at a time before he starts to get really crabby and is ready to lay back down again. He has been like that for the last few weeks and its kind of concerning me. Like maybe there is something wrong thats making him so tired. He also just started STTN a few weeks ago so maybe Im not used to all this good sleep? Would you be concerned or is this a normal amount of sleep? TIA!

Re: Too much sleep possible?

  • probably a growth spurt.  Enjoy it while it lasts : )

    My DS has been sleeping 12 hours per night since he was 4 mos old and he still takes 2 naps per day, usually about an hour each, but at times he sleeps more and I usualy chalk it up to growth spurt or his body fighting something.

  • Sounds like a possible growth spurt. Enjoy it!!!

  • But to nap for 3 or even 4 hours a day everyday? You really wouldnt be concerned? He is a bit crabby, more teeth coming in Im pretty sure. Just seems weird to me but not trying to over react.

  • Sounds like a growth spurt. DS went through it at 6 mo as well. My son has always been a good sleeper and still sleeps around 14 hrs a day at 10 mo. He is the happiest baby I know so no I don't think they can ever sleep to much!
  • Growth spurt - mine was doing that last week - she could barely stay awake for 2 hours! Now she is on nap strike - I saw her little picket sign sitting next to her crib that says "Down with Naps!" Enjoy it!
  • Ann-Lol! I will certainly try to! I just tend to worry about my boy...cant take any chances with him :) And geez the boy is already big enough he'll be grown out of all the clothes I just bought him!
