Sleepy Baby

[Jen & Her Men]

Im a bit worried about James cos he is sleeping sooo much.
I know im lucky that he sleeps through the night but he sleeps loooooads through the day too. He gets up about 7ish after 10 hours sleep, hes up for about 1.5 hours before sleeping again for another hour or so, and he used to only have a couple of half hour cat naps through the day but now he is sleeping for a couple of hours at a time and gets tired after only being awake for an hour and a half to 2 hours.

He is perfectly happy when he is awake and is eating fine. But it just seems a bit abnormal how much he is sleeping.

Any one got any thoughts / advice on this??

Theo hasnt slept well since birth, but he had his 8 week jabs Monday and this week has slept for around 2 hours each sleep, he still wakes up through the night, but sleeps for longer periods if that makes sense.

James must be needing the sleep, and babies in general do need a lot of sleep, I wouldnt worry too much.

Cant wait till the day I can say "Theo slept through the night"

Hayden used to sleep loads until he was about 6 months i think- he literally used to feed, nappy change, look around a bit- stare at the tv and fall asleep- cat naps and full on a few hours sleeps
sounds normal- as long as when he is awake he is alert and firm (as opposed to floppy)
then it sounds completely normal

When Isaac went through sleepy phases it was when he was having a growth spurt. That may be what it is? If he seems perfectly normal in every other way and his usual self then I'd put it down to a growth spurt.

Sounds like a dream to me

kys the same. hes only just started waking once in the night for a bottle due to a growth spurt. apart from that he goes to bed at half 7 (bottle at 3am) wakes at 6. has a 2 hour nap just after 9 then a 3hr nap after 1. hes miserable as hell if he doesnt get his nap naps!
