too much sleep?

I know we are usually moaning if our babies are not sleeping but does anyone have any experience of sleeping a lot? My five month old baby has always been a good sleeper. Has done 7-7 since 8 weeks old, with a few minor blips where he thought 4am was morning!!! However he has never really slept during the day. He tends to have three 40 minute naps during the day and that is it. However the last week he has been sleeping for three to four hours during the day and still seems tired. Today he got up at 7am and was back in bed at 9am and slept until 11am, when I had to go and wake him. He went back to bed at 1.30 and is still asleep. I asked my HV today and she just laughed and said make the most of it and don't tell any other mums!!! Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? I am worried something is wrong as it is such a change to his routine.

Hi

My little girl went through many stages like this and I was told by other mums it could be a growth spurt.

I was worried to and went from wanting her to sleep to wanting her to spend more time awake. But it was a phase and she did pass it though did go through it again at different stages.
