i know i'll probably get some chuckles or headshakes here, but sometimes i wonder if my lo is sleeping too much.
12 hours at night, and between 3 and 4 hours (3 naps) during the day!! he's only awake 2 to 2 1/2 hours at a time. i keep reading about 11-12 month olds that sleep 2 1/2 hours during the day and not so well at night and they're advised to cut down. i just wonder if he's just a good sleeper or if too much sleep is getting him more tired and it's a cycle. i don't want him missing out on life cause he's sleeping. i'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. he goes to sleep so quickly too, and never objects to being put into the crib. we play lots (he does play by himself quite a bit, but with me too), we chat and go outside and run errands, and he walks on my hands around the house a LOT. am i not stimulating him enough?

My dd is a tad younger than your ds, but she sleeps a lot as well...always has.  She has inherited it from me (I need 12hrs at night and sometimes a nap, too!  LOL!)  She sleeps 12-13 hrs at night, 4-5 hrs during the day.  I say if that seems to be what your son needs, go with it!  I know if she doesn't get a lot, she's easily overtired so I get in as much as I can!  HTH!  :D
