Too much sleep?

Question

My 6 month old sleeps 11-12 hrs straight at night and has started to nap for about 5 hrs during the day (spread out over 3 naps.) Is this normal for his age, or too much sleep?

Answer

You shouldn't be worried, unless you see signs of declining health like losing weight, you should be doing the happy dance for having a baby that sleeps so much!🤗

Answer

My daughter sleeps 8 hours at night, and takes 3 half hour to hour naps. I wish she'd sleep longer!

Answer

My son would sleep like that at 6 months but wasn't gaining weight like he should so his ped said I should wake him for night feedings. As long as baby is doing well be thankful you have a good sleeper 💘

Answer

Whoa, I realize now how bad my lo is at naps. She sleeps 10 hours overnight from 8pm to about 6am. For naps through the day however she usually only has 3 of them which last about 15-20 minutes each and that's it. Has been this pattern since she was 3months old. Getting her to take a nap and stay asleep is ridiculously hard.

Answer

My 6 month old sleeps 8-9 hours with a couple of wake ups. She gets a small bottle (she was sleeping through the night with no bottle until she got an ear infection about 10 days ago) and goes right back to sleep around 4 am. She then sleeps until 8am when she's up for the day. She then has 3 naps throughout the day and probably sleeps 5-6 hours total.

Answer

Man you are the luckiest mama in the history of the world 😂. Seriously though, that doesn't sound too excessive all up. My 6 month old sleeps 12 hours with 3-4 wake ups at night and 3 naps in the day (maybe 45 mins each)
