How Much is Too Much Sleep

[Captain]

I know it sounds like a strange thing to worry about, but I think DD might be sleeping to much. She slept for 13 1/2 hours last night and then after been awake for a couple of hours she was ready for bed again. She'll have a nap in the afternoon for anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. She plays well when she is awake but seems to get tired really easily.

Should a nearly 2 year old be sleeping this much? Is it something I should be worried about. She hasn't been sick and she isn't teething.

My DD slept 14 hours last night.. got up had a bottle then went back to bed for a further 2.5 hrs... got up played, had a bottle and now back in bed... since 230!

She has slept alot!! She neeeever sleeps this much.. could be cos its cold and teething tho!

Maybe ur DD is just a tired toddler!

DS doesn't sleep that much, but I know plenty of other kids 2 and older who do.

One of my friends DD's sleeps 12-13 hours every night and up to 4 hours in the day - depending if she has one or 2 sleeps, and she's 3 and a half.
