Is my 11 week old sleeping too much?

My son is 11 weeks old and seems to sleep a ridiculous amount. He goes to bed at about 730 and sleeps til 1, wakes to eat, goes back to sleep til about 4 or 5, wakes again to sleep and then sleeps a bit fitfully (a few crying spells but easily calmed) til around 9ish. Then he takes a couple long naps. Today for instance he took a nap from 11 til about 2 and then 3 until 530. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

  • If your baby is sleeping that much, he obviously needs it. Just go with it.

  • Seriously? You're concerned lo is sleeping too much?? I'm not trying to be snarky but if everything else with lo is normal and healthy then I'm sure hes fine.

    mine too, usually... I will admit that I've been concerned that he sleeps too much but the days he sleeps less are rough ones, so I agree with pp, they must need it!

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • DS will be 11 weeks on Saturday and this week started sleeping like that. He's also eating like a fiend. Growth spurt maybe? But if he's sleeping he needs it, so I wouldn't worry.
