9month old - sleeping too much?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

my 9 month old goes to bed btwn 8:30-9pm sleeps until 8-9am(doesn't wake up through the night unless his teeth bother him)

 wakes up- plays for 1 to 3 hours and naps 2-2 1/2 hours (sometimes 3hours)  wakes up plays for another 1 to 2 hours naps again for another 2hr-2 1/2hours and sometimes will need a 3rd small nap (usually 1hr) before bed -- is that too much sleeping?

i get worried about it.

    have you talked to his pediatrician about it? do they seem concerned about it?

    That could be the case and I am sure it is normal. Maybe it's just you have a really good sleeper on your hands? I mean my DD doesn't take very long naps but sleeps all night and she is almost 8 months old and she always slept really good from when she

    Wow he's a really good sleeper! I would think as long as he's eating enough, gaining well, wetting well and reaching his milestones it's prob fine. Mention it to the pedi just to see what he says, but your little guy just might be a good sleeper!

    My DD is awake for 2 hours max during the day, sleeps 11 hours at night and takes 3 to 4 naps a day between 45 min and 2.5 hours long.

    From everything I've been reading lately, that seems like the ideal amount of sleep.

    Mine is 7.5 months and was told 11-12 hours at night.  Two to three naps in the day.  The first two naps should be 2 hours+, and the third nap typicall
