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,

Dr. J

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!
