I have an 8 month old daughter and she is sleeping more then usual..?

Question

she sleeps all through the night from 8 or 9 until 7am, has a bottle and goes back to bed until like 11 then she is only up for about 2 hours and back to bed again. The sleeping all through the night until 7am is normal, but this much sleeping through the day isnt. What could it be, she is getting her bottom 2 teeth, could this have anything to do with it? Or could it be that shes just growing and tired, basically i just want to know if its normal.

Answer 1

Sounds like my 10 month old now.  I don't think anything is wrong just the teething and like you said she maybe going through a growth spurt.  Just don't let her sleep through feeding because that will throw her way off schedule.

Answer 2

mine used to sleep all night. Up by 6a... then for the rest of the day it was nap for an hour &1/2  every hour & half from the time she woke from her previous nap. She did this until she was well into the 2's. GOing some place was a near impossibility!!! On the flip side my nephew slept from 7p - 7a and only took a two hour nap after lunch from the time he was 1...some kids just need more rest than others!

Answer 3

its normal shes just probably tired, or check if she has a fever?

Answer 4

It's normal as long as she is taking the bottle and she is peeing and pooping.  Babies need a lot of rest.  Usually when they are going through a growth spurt.   If you are really worried bring it up at your next doctor's visit.

Answer 5

it's normal...as long as she is eating and filling up her diapers as usual then she is probably just going through a major growth spurt...enjoy it and catch up on your sleep ;o)
