Concerning that toddler sleeps 18 hours consecutively?

Question

My girl has always been a good sleeper, but lately she'll sleep all 12 hours overnight, then have a cup of milk and go back to sleep for another 5-6 hours. This has been going on for a month. 
She used to sleep 8 hours, then take 3 naps during the day, but now it's like she just takes all her naps at once after her overnight sleep. 
Should I contact her doctor, or just count my blessings while it lasts? She's acting normal when she's awake, and she's not difficult to wake up. (Accidentally did that a couple times. oops.)

Answer

I’d ask but not be too concerned if they’re not. I have a 3 year old, who was like this, and now even at 3years old sleeps 5:30pm and WE wake him at 8am a lot of mornings. Now if someone could just teach my 7 year old to sleep that would be super. My 19 month old is somewhere in the middle.

Answer

I'd ask the pediatrician. My baby slept 15 hours at night and still had 2-3 hour naps for a few months. She acted normal when awake. I was told as long as she's acting normal, it's just a growth spurt. But ask your pediatrician just in case.

Answer

I would always ask. No harm in asking! That seems like a ton of sleep!
