Sleeping TOO much?

Question

Is there such a thing? My guy still takes 2 2-hour naps and sleeps 12 hours at night. At his one month appointment his iron was pretty low so I’m a little worried that’s what’s making him so sleepy. Sound like something I should be concerned about or count my blessings?

Answer

Ugh you are blessed! As long as he’s not lethargic during his awake times i wouldntbe worried!!!

Answer

Unless your doctor says that’s too much I would’nt be worried

You are doing an amazing job mama. You are so blessed with a Good baby that will sleep a full 12 hours at night. Mine gets up every 4-5 hours. 😩She has never slept through the night ever!! I don’t know if it’s because I’m still nursing her? But your baby sounds healthy and totally fine. Some babies just sleep a lot, which means he is a growing baby. Since mine doesn’t sleep too much she doesn’t grow that much which is why her percentile in growth is low. But I don’t mind because she is healthy and that is all that matters. 
As to his iron levels just try to feed him iron every day. My LO doesn’t like oatmeal which has tons of iron, and what dr.s recommend babies to eat. So I feed her other foods that have iron in it, like beans, tofu, meat, broccoli, spinach, peas, avocado, tomatoes, grapes, chickpeas, banana, etc...

Answer

Be grateful. Mine sleeps 10-11 hours at night (not straight through) and one two hour nap if I’m lucky. Usually more like 1.5 hours. And he never stops moving. Ever.

Answer

It’s totally fine. I remember asking the pediatrician about that with my daughter. My son, not so much. Enjoy it!!! Some kids are just better sleepers than others.

Answer

We are similar! He still takes 2 naps a day. They range from 1.5 to 2 hours and he sleeps from 6:30pm to 6:30am every day. ￼He is busy during the day and falls right to sleep every time we put him down.

Answer

My son sleeps 13 hours at night with one hour and a half nap during the day. I count my blessings! 😊

Answer

My guy also sleeps that much, I thought we would be dropping down to one nap soon but he definitely needs 2 still. 
I found out at his 1 year check up he has a heart murmur so I'm also worried maybe that is what is causing him to be sleepy. However the doctor said it's likely just extra noise, not a heart defect, so likely he is just tired because he is so busy. We are getting it checked out  just in case but it's probably nothing. 
Is your guy constantly on the move as well when he is awake? If they play hard they nap hard haha
