Is this too much sleep in the day?

[SophiaLowe]

Just a quick Q if anyone can help?

My LO has had 2 naps so far totaling 3.1/2 hours and is now napping again? today went like this:

awake and E @ 0645
A
S 0730 - 1.40mins

E 09.40
A
S10.20 - 1.50mins

E 12.40
A
S 13.35 - still going

Am i doing something wrong - will he not sleep well tonight if he has all this sleep now? I ask cos yesterday he only had 2 hrs the whole day?

How old is he?  It sounds like he is a little one, because you are feeding every 3 hours.  If he is, it's probably ok.

he is 3mths and every 3 hours at the mo?

[Sarah - Enfys' Mum]

I think it's ok.  Just don't let him sleep past his feeding time.  Did he have a busy night last night?  Or another reason why he's catching up on sleep?  You're very lucky, at 3 months , I'd have loved Enfys to sleep that much during the day, she was a 45 minute napping queen for a very long time.

Thats why i am a bit concerned cos for about 3 weeks he was doing the same - 30min blocks if i was lucky he would go 45? i will let you know what happens tomoz -should i wake him after 1hr 30?? that would mean he is awake 40 mins before his feed?/?

Thanks for your help

sounds like he's doing great!  babies this age sleep a lot, as long as your nights are pretty good i wouldn't worry about it.  i'd wake him if it's feed time or if he goes 2 hours, otherwise sleep away!!
