My 13-month old son sleeps a lot. He sleeps 11 hours through the night and usually takes a 3 hour nap during the day. Sometimes his nap is only 2 hours and sometimes it's 4 hours, but he always gets a good solid nap in. Does he get too much sleep? He's not developmentally or emotionally behind in any way, so I don't think it's hurting is development, but I just feel like he shouldn't be sleeping as much as he does. Any thoughts?

I'm so jealous !! Lol it's completely normal and healthy for them to sleep that much . It means their growing :) my 13 month old is NOW starting to sleep better ... He is a ball of energy ever since he opened his eyes for the first time , so so curious of everything I guess he thinks sleeping is a waste of time -_- lol if I'm lucky he might wake me up twice a night ... I think once he woke me up once and I was so tired I thought it was a dream lol and his naps thru the day are getting better . Anywhere between 1-2 and a half hours just once a day and thru the night he might sleep anywhere from 8 to 10 hours . But the more hours he sleeps the more he wakes me up so it's a catch lol

If it helps my little guy sleeps between 15 and 18 hours a day. Hell be playing with me and I turn away to go change on of the other babies or feed one of them I come back 5 min later hes out cold and hell sleep for 2-3 hours and sleeps all night. About 3-4 naps a day. Talked to the doctor and hes not concerned he says hes growing a lot so hes tired. He is making up for lost time he was a premi so sleep is not a bad thing its when they do all their growing.

it could be the reason but there is nothing wrong with feeding through the night at that age. especially not with breastfeeding.

My 13 month old is very similar to that. My 2.5 year old is still doing that, she loves her sleep and still needs a sleep during the day, otherwise she wont last till bedtime. Children need their sleep to grow, he is doing what he should be.

My son is 13 months also, we just had his 1 year check up, 2 weeks ago, he sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a 3 hour nap in the afternoon and HIS ped said that, that is the right amount of sleep for his age and should continue with that till about 4. But like everyone else, dr's are all different lol that's just what i was told !!!

my son typically sleeps 12-13 hours a night, usually naps 2-3 hrs a day, but some days refuses a nap at all! he loves bedtime, i am so thankful :) lol! he has been a great sleeper since 9 weeks, mostly! are you asking because he doesnt usually sleep this much? he could be goin through a growth spurt, or teething? dominic sleeps more while going through these! i see it as a blessing, as most babies are cranky and clingy at these times! :)

I am sooooo... jealous of you guys!! My 13 month old doesn't like to sleep. He sleeps from about 12 midnight to 6 a.m. He naps 1-2 times during the day but never for more than 2 hours. He ia also a busy body and very curious while he is awake. I get tired just from watching him.

I wish mine would sleep more. I don't feel he is getting enough sleep. Most nights he only sleeps maybe 8-9 hours and he only naps about 1-2 hours, normally 1.

Ever since my little girl started walking she's also been sleeping a lot... there's a lot for little people to take on board at this age! I wouldn't worry :-)

my daughter sleeps about 11 hours at night and then takes an 1 1/2 hour nap. There is never too much sleep at this time, they are just babies and cannot control their sleep. If they sleep a lot is because they need to, no worries at all.

My son sleeps even more than that some times. It's great, we live in a sleep deprived world so him getting more is fantastic.

He sounds perfectly fine. He's gets the right amount of sleep for him. My son sleeps about that much too only he takes 2 naps, sometimes 3.
