Toddler sleeping more

4 replies

Hello all. Just wanted to know if this is normal...my toddler is sleeping a lot more in the day despite getting her usual amount of sleep at night. She just seems to get more tired more quickly and gets extremely irritable until I put her down for a nap. She had been on one nap around midday since she was 11 months but now it's as if she's regressed back to 2 naps because she just gets so tired. Her molars are coming through and she is definitely growing loads... could these be contributing factors? My other concern is that she might have some sort of deficiency as I recently discovered that my own vitamin D levels are terribly low (now on very high dose) and she is still breastfed.

Would appreciate any tips/experience X

Is she being given Vitamin D as well as you?

I used to give her drops but unfortunately haven't been very religious about it recently...I'm now beginning to panic that maybe that's why she's so tired all the time.

Ok so if you're not giving Vit D (which is recommended for BF babies from birth) I'd start that now along with some outdoor time each day.

Do they have any signs of anaemia too?
