Unusual nap length 9 month old, is she ill?

My daughter is 9 months old, she usually has 3 naps in the day, 1 in the morning, 1 at around 1:30/2 and a 3rd about 5. Each nap is usually 1 hour, max 1.5 hours.

Today she's been asleep since 2:30 it's now 5:15. I can't find any threads similar, I feel a bit silly asking but is this normal? Could she be poorly? She has been alright all day, we went swimming this morning but for no longer than we usually do (we go once a week and are in the pool for around half an hour)

Her temperature is fine she is just completely out of it.
Is this normal? Should I wake her up? ConfusedBlush

Could be normal, could be ill. Time will tell. Don't fret.

Growth spurt? DD always had epic naps around that time.

She's still asleep, my Partner says not to wake her, I'm not sure.

Growth spurt possible I suppose. She's starting to walk so could be tiring her self out a lot more than before? She's been crawling a few months but that never made her excessively tired with sleeps like this.

The swimming pool seemed to smell a bit stronger of chorine than usual today, could it be that?

I think I'll gently wake her. I don't want it to affect the sleep tonight Confused

I would wake her but I always woke mine to stay in their routine . It's very late now and it will affect her sleep tonight . Hope she is ok though .

I would wake her to see if she's ok. She prob won't go to bed until all hours now after that epic nap!
Hope she is ok

don't wake her babies normally get grumpy when you wake them before they are ready. just prepare yourself for a late one tonight!

She's just woke up on her own, she seems just fine, crawling (and attempting to walk) around with tons and tons of energy.

I'll keep a close eye though, I'm hoping it's a growth spurt thing.
