AIBU to let baby sleep until 10am?

My DD is 7 months old and goes to bed around 8pm. She then sleeps until around 6 or 7am when she wakes for a feed. I then put her back down where she goes straight back to sleep until around 9.30-10am.
Some people have suggested that she ought to be getting up at 7 like 'normal' babies but she goes straight back down.
I also like to get my head down for that extra couple of hours. She also has at least 3 hours worth of naps in the day.
Am I doing the wrong thing?

My LO was the same. Just loved her sleep sometimes slept till 11. It was great. Nowadays she sleeps 7-6 has milk and back down till 8 unless we have nursery or I have work. Works for us and she's happier baby for sleeping more. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I admit I did worry like you though but I wish I he made the most of it

YABU. I'm sorry but seriously, your baby sleeps for about 14 hours a day by the sound of it! That's way too long. Don't you know you should be woken up at 5am then get maybe one nap of 1.5 hours? (Like me with DS sobs).

Not really - let her sleep! You're very lucky so enjoy it as long as it lasts.
