Sleep Question
Hey ladies!
Just a quick question about babies and sleep. How much is enough and how much is too much sleep?
Most of you know that Owen had major sleep trouble prior to 6 months old but since then he is a sleeping champ!!!
However, I'm concerned he may be getting too much sleep.
What do you think?
He goes to bed at 9pm every night and I let him sleep until wakes up on his own in the morning. He will wake anywhere between 9:15 and 10 am. If he is still asleep at 10 am I wake him up. About two hours later he is ready for a nap. He will sleep anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours. I never let him sleep more than three hours and he will typically take another nap about 2 - 2 1/2 hours later. This nap will be what ever he didn't get in the first nap to give him a total of 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
Does that make sense? For example, if he sleeps and hour in the morning, he'll sleep 3 in the afternoon but if he slept 3 in the morning he usually only sleeps an hour in the afternoon.
That means he sleeps 16 to 17 hours a day! Is that too much?
How much sleep are your little ones getting?
Thanks!

Re: Sleep Question
Lucy used to not nap at all, and now I think she is getting about the same as Owen.
Bed at 9. Up at 7. Get a bottle, go back to sleep for another hour or so.
Lunch at 11. Then a 1-2 hour nap
Bottle at 4. Then a 1-2 hour nap.
Dinner
Bottle at 8:30 then to bed.
Her naps shift a little longer and shorter same as you said. I don't think they can get too much sleep. Sle has seemed to be doing alot of growing lately too.

Re: Sleep Question
thanks for your response! It makes me feel better! He is soooo active when he is awake so I guess he just needs the extra rest.

Re: Sleep Question
Lou Lou that sounds about right. LM sleeps the same amount! I think that some babies need as much as 18 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. I think Owen is right on track.

Re: Sleep Question
i actually asked kaydances Dr once if she was sleeping to much (seems like a silly complaint huh? LOL!) because she was sleeping from 6:30pm till anywheres from 6:30-10:00am!! LOL!! and she would still take a 1-2 hour nap once or twice a day (usually twice) and the Dr reassured me that some kids can function with 6 hours sleep, while other kids need 12-13! nothing wrong with her, just let her sleep when she wants to hehehe. just to let you know
