My Nine month old son has been sleeping a lot?

Question

I'm getting worried because he usually doesn't sleep this much. He is very active and usually takes one or two small naps a day. He stayed with my in-laws the day before yesterday and took a long nap went to sleep at 7pm and woke up at 6 am. He took another long nap after that and after he woke up slept on the way home. He stayed up for a little while at home and took another small nap. Took another long nap around 7pm and we went to bed at 12. He woke up at 10am and a hour and 30 minutes later is taking another nap. Should I be worried?

Answer 1

My daughter sleeps alot when she is growing or fighting off a sickness. If he doesn't' have a fever diarrhea let him sleep what ever it is off. If it lasts for more than a week maybe get him checked out.

Answer 2

sounds like you need to visit you dr...just to be sure

any sudden unexplained changes should be checked out in such a young child

Answer 3

when babies put on growing spurts they sleep more. this is possibly what is happening, if hes not sick or running a fever i would just leave him, as long as hes sleeping good what is it bothering? nothing...exactly. just at his next doc appt bring it up.
