Too Much Snoozing?

Question

My little guy occasionally takes naps that can span between 3-5 hours (with a bottle in between). Is this too long to let him sleep consecutively? He’s eight weeks old, so I’ve been assuming it’s due to a growth spurt, but wanted to see what you mamas think. 
*His nighttime sleep isn’t disrupted by these naps (thankfully!).

Answer

Unless there is a medical reason that you have to wake him for feeding, meds, etc.. I’d say that if a baby wants to sleep, let that baby sleep! ☺️😴

Answer

As long as it doesn’t impact eating, wet diapers, and night time sleep, I wouldn’t be concerned. They do so much growing and learning at this age, they need the sleep to keep up with it all.

Answer

My LO is 9 weeks old and takes long naps too! In my opinion, its best to follow baby’s lead. I don’t see a problem with long naps as long as he’s still able to sleep through the night and I’d rather not have an overly tired and cranky baby on my hands because he’s been forced to stay awake! Sleep is also so important for babies as they have so much stimulation while awake it helps them to process all of it.

Answer

If it doesn’t affect night time I’d let him sleep as much as he wants
