Sheila, Not at all! As long as he seems to be growing and developing normally, you should have nothing to worry about. Out of my 4 children, I had two who were major sleepyheads as babies. Enjoy it while you can!-Susie

My son just turned 6 months old. He is a good sleeper and I am almost worried he is sleeping too much. He goes to bed around 9pm and wakes around 6am, has a bottle then back to sleep after an hour or so. He will usually sleep for about 2 more hours, after that he wants to sleep as early as 11am somedays and will take up to a 3 hour nap. Then in the evening he will sleep anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Is this too much sleep? Sheould I be concerned?

Susan, Try to keep him up for longer periods during the day if possible. You should also establish a bedtime routine, such as bath, story, etc. Put him to bed at the same time each night. Eventually, he should begin to recognize that nightime is sleep time! Good luck!-Susie

My son and daughter-in-law work the 11-7 shift and I keep my 4-month old grandson. I am having problems getting him to sleep longer periods at night. It makes it difficult that they are trying to sleep during the day.

My son is 6 months now and he will not sleep in his cot. This is because he constantly moves around until his head is at one side of the bars and his legs are out of the other side, so therefore he gets his legs caught and I am frightened of him hurting himself so he gats in bed with us and now I cannot get him back in to his cot amd out of our bed.

This is proving to be very tiring as we dare not fall fully to sleep as we are scared of rolling over on him.

What can I do to get him in his cot again?

Kind regards
