Suddenly taking 2 - 2 hour naps????
Okay DD is usually ALL over the house into everything - without any breaks. I'm lucky to get 2 30-45 min naps out of her - she had bad teething last week with a possible minor 1st cold - then a bad spasmodic croup last weekend. She had been wheezing on and off and a slight cough for a few days but otherwise has been a happy active baby. Has not had any fever at all the whole time. Her cough has completely disappeared today and so has the wheezing - but starting yesterday and today she has taken 2 - yes 2 -full 2 hour naps????? She also slept thru the night.
I mean she is going non stop between the naps, crawling and walking around and playing BUT the active part isn't new - Why is she suddenly sleeping more?

Re: Suddenly taking 2 - 2 hour naps????
I've noticed that after Maddie goes through a milestone (crawling, standing, teething) she tends to sleeps loads for awhile.
Enjoy those long naps!!!

Re: Suddenly taking 2 - 2 hour naps????
Not only is she sleeping for 2 hours but doing so NOT in my arms - I don't know what to do with myself - in 11 months she NEVER naps anywhere pretty much but IN my arms or her stroller if we are out, or her car seat.

 I don't know but I don't know what to do with that free time that I never had before With my luck it will only last one more day

Really? This was the first time she was sick in 11 months - but I can tell you it certainly didn't have her sleeping more WHILE she had it - she was laughing, playing and fighting me on all her naps before yesterday

Re: Suddenly taking 2 - 2 hour naps????

Wow those are long naps - DD never stops for a minute so the 2 45 mins naps were hard - She DID have a growth spurt where she gained exactly to the ounce 1 full lbs this past month - she has only been gaining a few small ounces lately and grown more in length than in weight. Maybe she did another growth spurt lately but I don't think so.
If he sleeps 2hrs 45 min naps does he sleep well at night?
DD only sleeps 8-9 hours a night - unlike what it seems everyone else's child who seems to sleep 12 hours or more

Re: Suddenly taking 2 - 2 hour naps????
DS is 1 year old and lucky me - 2 2-hour naps are part of his regular routine.
My guess is that she is now more active and wears herself out. She could also be going through a growth spurt.

LOL I hear you - DD is a very small eater - she will eat pretty much what I give her except cereal - BUT she eats next to nothing - 1/4 of a small pancake is a meal, 1/4 of a scrambled egg is a meal, 1/4-1/2 of a yo baby is a meal When she is done - she folds her arms across her chest and smashes her lips shut and violently shakes her head NO - or bats my arms and shakes her head

LOL we might have to get them together.
She is hysterical - She will pick UP the food/puffs etc - BUT she will play with it, throw it etc. Everything else goes into her mouth BUT the food - when she wants to eat - ready for this... she opens her mouth wide and makes noises like a baby bird begging for food
