: Our 3 month old has been sleeping through the night 8-9 hours, but also likes to sleep alot during the day, although the most of the naps are short lived. My question is, how much is too much sleep? Most days she can only last about 2 hours before she needs to get some sleep for 30 minutes, somtimes she could sleep much longer. we try to keep her entertained as much as we can but when she gets fussy she just likes to doze off. i guess we should be happy but is this normal for all this sleep.

My daughter also slept 8 hours at night and could only go 2-3 hours during the day without a 20-30 minute nap.. i think its totally normal! She was like that til about 6-7 months old. Don't worry... She's probably just tred out from all the fun she's having with you! Keep up the good work! :-)
