Naptime Questions about a four month old?
I'm just wondering how often your 4 month old does or did take naps and how long were those naps? I'm asking this because I am a little worried that my 4 month old may be sleeping too much. He goes to bed at 8:30 or 9p and sleeps all night (which is fine since he's over 12 lbs so he doesn't have to wake up to eat anymore)he wakes up at about 7 am... he then stays up and eats and plays until about 11:30 or 12p and then goes down for a nap for about an hour... gets up and eats and plays until about 4 and then goes back down for a nap for about another hour and then is up until bedtime. Do you think this is too much sleep? I know the naps don't seem like a lot, but with him sleeping all night would they be too much? Or is he not getting enough sleep? I feel like I should know this since I have another child, (she's 3) but she didn't sleep all night at this age and took more naps but they were never an hour long- they usually weren't any longer than 30 minutes... I know I sound like an idiot and I'm sorry for this dumb question, but please place your irritation aside for a moment and answer my question!!! :-) Thanks so much guys!

My four month old gets up between 730 and 830 and about an hour and half after she is up she is back down for about an hour nap. She will than stay up for 3 or 4 hours and than takes a 3 hour nap usually. She gets up till about 6 pm and will sleep for about 30 minutes and than back up till bed time at 8 pm. She is also sleeping through the night.

He might not be getting quite enough sleep. I was reading "How to raise your child" and it says a baby from one to twelve months should be getting a total or 14 to 15 hours of sleep per day.

It sounds just right to me. Remember, all babies are different, sleep "through" the night at different ages, and naps differ, too. Sounds like your baby is fine.

its sounds normal. My son gets up at 7.30am has a sleep at 10.30am then wakes around 11.30-12.00pm then has another sleep around 3.00-4pm then goes down for the night at 7.30pm then sleeps all night till 7.30am.
