Is my 22 month old sleeping too much?

Hi
My daughter has always slept through and slept a lot but now shes getting older I'm worried it's a problem.
She's very smart and is always doing something when shes awake, but I can put her down for a nap at 3pm and she'll not wake up until 10am.
I try to wake her up for dinner but she refuses to get out of bed and falls straight back to sleep
Should I be worried?

3pm - 10am without waking at all?

I would be very concerned about her only being awake for 5 hours in 24. I would see a doctor if this was my child.

She did that yesterday
Most days she'll wake up at 10/10.30
Nap at 3 for 2/3 hours then bed again 9/10

That sounds more normal for a 22 month old, and nothing to be concerned about. Assuming you are happy with the late-to-bed, late-to-rise routine.

Maybe baby was poorly yesterday? I would be concerned at baby being unwilling to wake at all. But if it was a one-off and she's fine today, just keep an eye on her.

My 11 mth old does 13 hours at night (waking 4 times for a feed) and sleeps about 1.5 hours in the day. Seems similar!

Since she was born she's always slept 10-14 hours a night
I used to have to wake her to feed and then she'd just go back to sleep straight away
She does it once or twice a month where she wont wake from her nap
I just wasn't sure because I have family who's children never seem to sleep
Thank you I'll mention it at her check up but hopefully I can relax a bit about it Blush

Ds1 wasn't and still isn't a sleeper. He was awake at the crack of dawn, while ds2 likes a lie in. They're all different!

She doesn't sound that different from my 19 month old. DD sleeps ~14 hours a night, and naps 2-3 hours during the day. Occasionally she wont wake naturally from her nap, so I have to wake her for dinner. If she's feeling unwell she will sleep even longer at night.

Thank you I guess children can be on the complete other end of the scale Shock

If I try to wake her for food it'll turn into an hour long tantrum with no food consumed and her back in bed

3.00pm till 10.00am is 19 hours.....that seems way too long, not eating or drinking? I'd pop to Dr or have a chat with HV.
