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.

Could be a growth spurt or a developmemntal thing - they often seem to be sleepier when they are learning a new skill.

It could be that he's a bit under the weather, but if he seems happy and healthy when he's awake then he's probably fine.
