Excessive sleep

in April 2013 Moms
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a good holiday. All of this excitement must be exhausting DD because she has been taking 2+ hour naps AT LEAST twice a day. This is not normal for my child. She fights naps and hates sleep. I don't really think its the holidays makings her tired. She had a rash on Thursday and the doctor said virus. And she's teething. Anyone else's LO sleep more while teething? I really don't know what's going on here. The virus makes her sleepy? Clearly she needs the sleep, but it is starting to worry me. Is too much sleep a bad thing? Thoughts? Thanks!

    I've asked this question before and always get the "enjoy it!" answer.  THere is always the chance that she's coming down with something, but it also could be a growth spurt or just plain tired!

    My DS is teething and sleeping a lot. However, he's always slep a lot! He usually STTN from 7:00p-6:30a and then for every 1.5-2hrs that he is up he takes a nap that is anywhere from 1-2 hours long. It gets frustrating because during the day when we try to run errands and get things done, he has several meltdowns. I was getting to wonder if too much sleep was a bad thing but he pediatrician said that no, it was fine :) I hope your LO feels better soon!

    Ava was like this. Every time she would be teething she would take GLORIOUS naps. Everyone told me how lucky I was. I see that now, because Mila is the complete opposite.

    ETA- both of my girls get horrible diaper rash when they're teething.

    DS has been taking multiple long naps the past few days. He got his first tooth this week, and he has chest congestion, so it could be either of those things. I'm just enjoying the extra quiet time!
