can a baby have to much sleep?

I wish my daughter would sleep for 12 hours during the night! I would even take 6-8 hours. :) My daughter takes two naps during the day. She will be awake 2-3 hours in between naps and then maybe a little longer before bedtime. Then she usually wakes up 2-3 times a night for a feeding. She slept through the night for like a month and then at 4 months old she started getting up constantly during the night! :( I wish she would could go back to sleeping through the night!!

My daughter iwas born 9-6-09, and does the same thing pretty much. She goes to bed around 8 pm, wakes up at about 730-800 am. She will have a bottle, play for a couple hours, and is back down for a nap by 930-10 at the latest for a bout an hour, hour and a half. Then shes back up, and down for another nap at 1 pm. and then another aroung 430 pm. and then she is back in bed at 8 pm. All of her naps are about 1-2 hours. It is perfectly normal because they are growing so much. Hope this helped!

Sounds like everyone has a dream baby! My little girl is only 2 days younger than yours, and she still wakes up 2 times in the night for milk,( admittedly its breast milk,) and only sleeps in 40 minute incrememts during the day, in the evenings she can drive herself into a frenzy because she hasnt slept for 5 hours straight! Its hard to get her to go down! Everything else in the world is far too interesting! Count yourself very lucky!!!

My son is a week younger than your daughter. He normally sleeps about 8-10 hours per night, and in the daytime he is normally only awake for 1-3 hours before taking a nap. However, after his last nap, he will normally stay awake for about 4-5 hours.

that is exactly what my little guy does. He only lasts about an hour an a half after he first wakes up, and about 2+ hours in between the other naps

that's about the same as my son's sleeping schedule and he's only a day younger then yours. i think the more sleep they get the better for them...they're doing a lot of growing and need their rest. enjoy it now, soon she'll change it up and you'll be wishing you could get her to nap more :)
