: Yep, another ?. My 5 1/2 mos old, usually takes 3-4 30 min naps a day. Yesterday I couldnt keep him awake. He slept 30 mins in the am... then a 2 hr nap an hour later he slept another 2 hours. And then he took another nap and slept an hour at his bedtime and woke up for an hour. Today he has yet to get up, he usually wakes at 8, he woke up at 7 ate... and fell back asleep. Should I be concerned? Hopefully that wasn't confusing! thanks.

Could be growing. Babies need lots of food and SLEEP to get big and strong. Is he in a growth spurt right now? Apparently there is a big one as they close in on 6 months.
