Can my baby sleep too much?

Question

Leo is 3 months old and he sleeps well at night. We can go 5-6 hours before he is hungry. He is EBF. I am just wondering about daytime sleep. I wear him a lot and he sleeps whenever I wear him. So is it bad to wear him a lot and have him sleep? He doesn’t have a nap schedule, which I don’t mind. I still feed him about every 2 hours. 
Is there such a thing as too much sleep or will baby sleep as much as they need/want? Thank you!

Answer

My 3 month old will have a 4 hour nap during the day and little 1 hours here and there.  She still sleeps great at night.  She goes to bed around 10-11 sleeps till 4-5 then back down till 8-9.  We make sure when she’s up she’s really active.

Answer

My 3 month old son since day one only takes cat naps throughout the day and at the beginning he was waking up every two hours for feeding. Now he’s sleeping 6 to 7 hours at night and 3 - 30 mins naps throughout the day. So my hands are full with a 3 month old and 2 year old boy who stopped taking naps at 10 months old.. so this mom gets no breaks!!

Answer

I've read it can be a problem if they aren't waking to get enough oz of milk a day.

Answer

I wear my 16 weeks when I’m out and about too. Don’t really stick to a nap schedule but recently I just just make sure he has 3 naps in the day. These 2 days he has been napping an hour for the morning nap, 4 hours for lunch nap and 30 mins for afternoon nap. Goes to bed around 8pm for 12 hours, waking up 2-3 times for feed at night. Sometimes I do think that he sleeps too much. But again, if he doesn’t sleep, he’ll get cranky. So I just let him be.

Answer

All my baby does is sleep lol and he still sleeps 10-12 hours straight at night. He’s also 3 months old

Answer

I think technically yes there is a thing as too much day sleep. It just means they'll probably sleep less at night. At this age, it's probably not a huge deal though if you don't mind how much he's sleeping at night.
Starting today, I'm going to wake my girl up so she's fed every 3ish hrs in hopes of going longer stretches at night. She went from 8:30-3:30, woke up for 20 mins to eat (and she only ate just a little compared to normal - she's formula fed), and then went back to sleep until 7:30. While I don't expect that to be the normal just yet, it was super nice so we'll see how it goes!
