When do babies sleep too much? Genuine health issue here?

OK, I probably am over-reacting and looking fo rthings that aren't there but DS2 has had a febrile convulsion and a probable seizure twice in the last 2 weeks. EEG is clear and we're waiting to see the consultant. Docs have asked us to watch him for anything 'unusual' so of course we watching like hawks!

One thing is that his sleep pattern is totally different to DS1. DS1 was never a great sleeper but DS2 can't wait to get to his bed. He's slept 12+ hours straight from 10 weeks, he's now 10 months and still has 2 long naps (5 hours +) in the day. After being up an hour he's already getting tired. He's bright enough in himself when he's up, plays nicely is a very happy baby and there's nothing out of the ordinary in his development.

Just tell me I'm over-thinking this...

Thanks both

No, no regression and certainly no delay, if anything slightly advanced

They think the first one might be febrile as he had a temp but second time he didn't but his tonsils were up and its possible it was the pain of a cough that made him so cross he held his breath and fainted and this set a little seizure off when he came round

No blood tests as yet but will add that to the list of questions for the consultant

So so worried about him
