[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a baby who is a little over 4 months old. He sleeps very well. He sleeps 16-18 hours a day. My friend has a baby the same age who sleeps less. We have been talking a lot and my baby is always sleeping when we talk. She said that I should “ get him checked” because it sounds like there may be a medical or developmental issues for him sleeping so much. I thought that his sleep was normal until she said this. Is there something wrong with my baby? Should I be concerned? [/quote]

What’s the split between day and night sleep?[/quote]

OP here. He sleeps 11 hours a night and 5 hours of daytime sleep, but sometimes will sleep 12 hours at night and longer naps. Usually he will have 4 naps with two longer ( 2- 3 hours) and others ( 30-60 minutes). He eats well ( 32oz a day) and is hitting all of his milestones. Very vocal, rolling over, can hold his head up at tummy time, grasping and holding toys, trying to pull himself up to sit, etc.,. He’s always in a good mood and alert when awake. I just assumed he loves his sleep. We have never sleep trained but we did put him on a bedtime routine and taught him how to self-soothe when he was a little younger. [/quote]
