I'm worried my baby sleeps too much

[macana]

DS is 4 months old and teething. But I'm really worried he sleeps too much! Compared to neighbour's DD, who only sleeps about 1 hour in total from when she gets up until she goes to bed, my DS sleeps about 16 hours a day!!!
Not every day is the same, but he gets really grouchy if I try to keep him entertained, playing etc when he's tired, so I put him to bed and he sleeps again. Also, from being a very sweet natured boy, suddenly has terrible bad mood tantrums too. Is this teething related? Or should I be worried?

tantrums are teeth related because teething hurts!

ds1 slept 16 hours a day until he was 18 months old - he made up for it by being constantly on the go whilst awake. He still sleeps longer than his two year old little brother and he's nearly 6. Some kids just need more.

16 hours a day sounds about right. DS (5mo) sleeps at least that long each day.
If he's tired, just let him sleep rather than try and keep him up because you think he should be awake.

As someone whose DS has not slept much yet in 8 months, I can honestly say that this is not something you should be worrying about. Now not getting a 3 hour sleep yourself ever, that is something to worry about

Enjoy the rest!

Hi,
my 14 old month baby sleeps lately very much. He sleeps 10 hours at night and another 4 hours during the day. For example he would go for his nap from 10:30 in the morning to 12:30 and then from 1:15: 3: 00 o'clock. For example today he had one nap from 10:30 to 12:45 and from 5:30 to 8:55 pm. He is very crancky and not him lately. The blood tests came out normaly. What should I do? Thank you,
