Has any one elts had a baby that sleeps all the time. I know i should not complain, I have been blessed with a good baby, mabey too good. My three month old never crys, all he dose is eat and sleep. He sleeps 21 hours a day. He never had colic like my three year old did. Is this normal?

I know that it is said that babies sleep all the time. I have a 4 month old and she is cutting back on her sleep time. I think that 21 hours a day is questionable. If he is developing normally, I really wouldn't worry about it. Is he or she reaching milestones? If not then you probably want to talk to the dr at the next wellbaby check up. Otherwise you just might have a baby who likes to sleep :)

Great response above. I would also want to know where the developmental stages are at. Key thing is to communicate your concerns with your ped, but certainly don't jump to any conclusions just yet.

All the best,

I wondered the same thing about my daughter... because after a son that NEVER slept, I was a little worried. But the doctor said, "You're complaining about a sleeping baby?" After he checked her out and put my mind to ease, he said, "Now go home and enjoy the quiet, while you can." I think she stayed awake a lot longer in 4th and 5th month.
Congrats on your good-sleeper!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
