Is there a thing as too much sleep?

KaraBoBara18 · February 2013

Last night my LO went to sleep around 9pm. I left for work at 5:30am and DH said she didn't get up until 9am!! If I would have been there I would have gotten her up a little earlier to eat just because I know I would have been anxious, but it got me wondering..is there a thing as too much sleep? She's always been a great sleeper, she usually only gets up once at 3am to eat and then is back to sleep until 9 or 10am. Should I make sure she gets that 3am feeding, or do I let her sleep?

I say never wake a sleeping baby, they do their growing when they sleep!

if she's hungry she will wake up.

Envy! I wish my guy would sleep in such long stretches!

And no, I don't think there's a thing as too much sleep. On non-daycare days, our little man goes to sleep around 7 p.m. and tends to sleep until 8:30/9 a.m. (with a dream feed and waking twice -- usually around 1-2 a.m. and again 3-4 hours later).

Let her sleep and enjoy it! If she wasn't gaining weight or some other health concern it would be different, but I am assuming your LO is doing fine, so enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it!
