my Lo usually goes to bed around 8 and wakes up around 1 or 2, he also usually sleeps all afternoon sometimes or half the afternoon after i give him his bath, is there a thing such as sleeping too much ?
My LO has days like that where she sleeps what seems like half the day away, and then still goes to bed at her regular bedtime. She did that yesterday, and I briefly wondered the same thing. But then today she was up from like 8:30-9 am till 12:30 pm straight, and then took a few naps all afternoon but none were more than an hour. I think it's all normal.
They can definitely have extra sleepy days, sometimes a few of those strung together. For us it's usually a little growth spurt or his little body fighting off a cold or something. If you are concerned he's consistently sleeping too much then you could ask your pedi.
I was very worried about this. I read that babies sleep 15 hours a day and I was sure mine slept more. So I tracked it for four days. He slept average of 14.5 hours. I bet if you track it you will see lo is fine.
Sometimes I feel that my LO sleeps too much during the day. ( he takes a 2 hr nap in the morning and a 3 hr nap in the afternoon) and he still goes to bed at 8. I called his doc and she said that it's normal, and to just let the baby sleep.
Re: Lo sleeping too much ?
I wouldn't worry unless something else seems wrong.
