does your baby (4-7 months) ever have days where all they seem to do is sleep???

DS woke up at 7am for a bottle, went back to sleep until 9:30am. He got some cereal and a bottle, and then by 11am he was knocked out again and still hasn't woken up!!!!!!!!!!


Should I be worried or grateful???????

DS is 4 months and he definitely has sleepy days. He is a cuddler so if he is held, he will fall asleep and take long naps. I am fine with it as long as he is sleeps through the night which he does at least 9 to 10 hours a night. His normal napping schedule is 1 to 1 1/2 in the morning at 9:15 and then a two hour nap at noon.

dd is now 8m but she did have those days when she was that age. I think its from getting the strength to do things, like rolling, potentially trying to crawl. muscles strength increasing so must take alot out of them.

Now at 8m.. shes been fighting the naps alot.

DS gets that way, not too often but it happens.
MIL (who watches him while I work) calls them his sleepy days.

DD did that yesterday! She's 4 months... she had a 4 hour nap in the morning and another 4 hour nap in the afternoon. She wouldn't go to sleep until 10:00 last night - and I put her down at 9!! I told her this morning, no more 4 hour naps for you!! And she giggled because she has no clue what I was saying.
