How much should a 3 month old sleep in the day?

[Sharksandfishes]

I swear this is not a stealth boast, but DS2 sleeps a LOT. He's pretty good through the night, only waking for 2 BFs between 7pm and 6am, and then he seems to sleep most of the morning except for maybe 2 hours and has 2-3 naps (40 mins) in the afternoon.

Is this normal? I don't remember DS1 sleeping this much during the day, and I know its not a huge problem and writing this will probably jinx it!

Is he gaining weight? I wouldn't panic about the sleep per se but if he's sleepy rather than willing to feed and isn't putting on weight much then I would want to get him checked. Is he alert and playful when he is awake?

I had one v sleepy one (and yes, quickly learned not to talk about it!) who still needs more than average so IME it's not necessarily a problem.

Yea, he's gaining weight. I guess I should stop worrying and enjoy it, it will probably end soon!

:) enjoy!

(Whispers) My LO is the same, although at 14 weeks I've noticed the daytime naps are becoming shorter.

My dd slept pretty much until 5 months with the gaps for awake lengthening slowly all the time. Perfectly alert etc but liked sleeping. At 8 months she still has good naps in the day. In fact I was just debating putting her back down after she just woke up - been sleeping since 7pm. I think my next baby will be a horror to make up for this one! Enjoy!

Sounds normal to me, my lo was the same up until 4 months then became a terrible sleeper. Hopefully the great sleeping will continue for you!
