Is my baby spleeping to much?

[1CEMAN]

I'm a little worried about our DD who is 7 months old. She sleeps for about 12 hours at night, and through the day altogether takes about 4 hours in naps. She is fairly active when she is awake, and plays with her toys etc. but i'm just worried she's not getting the development time a baby needs because of the sleeping. Is it normal for a 7 month old to be sleeping that much?

All babies are different hun. id enjoy it while you can. my dtd's sleep.12 hours.at night and 2 hours in the day. x

Oh and they're 14 months old x

No such thing as sleeping too much

12 hours at night and 4hrs naps sounds fine. Don't forget, sleep is when the brain processes information and is crucial to development, so her brain will still be making connections when she's flat out

My DD slept about that at that age. Morning and afternoon naps of an hour, couple after lunch and 12 overnight. She also self settled, loved her own cot and chatted to herself when she woke up. I had to keep quiet in a lot of parent groups!

Of course DS came along needing almost no daytime sleep by that age!

Enjoy it :-)

Thanks people. Good to know I was worrying about nothing. The irony is when I put about her sleeping 12 hours through the night, that has changed in the last week. She has decided to wake 3-4 times a night now crying. We hope its just teething and not a bad habit she's got into.

o joy! yup my ds sleeps for 12 hrs ish, but wakes every 2-3 hrs for milk + comfort. has done his whole life- he's 1 nxt wk! what i wouldnt give for 12 hours peaceful sleep[buenvy], or even 4 hrs. make the most of it, i say!
