Too much sleep????

My baby just turned 1 month and I was wondering at what point do they sleep less? She is up for about 2 to 3 hours then sleeps for about 6 then wakes again for another 2 to 3 hours but seems like she is sleeping too much? She sleeps through the night with no problems. Is this normal for a one month old baby????? Thanks to those who respond.

From the time my baby was 2 weeks old up until about 8 weeks old, he slept a lot too. At night he would go down at about 6-6:30 and would sleep straight through until 5-6am. Now that he's 3 months old, he's waking up 2-3 times a night!! Enjoy it while it lasts and get some sleep while you can!!! Babies are constantly changing.

Most mom's want to know when they will sleep more! LOL
My DD is a good sleeper as well- count yourself lucky to be getting 6 hour stretches at 1 month. Babies under 2 months sleep a total of 16-20 hours a day. Their "awake" time then starts to lengthen out a bit as they get older. As long as she is sleeping through the night ok, taking good naps, eating and peeing/pooping well, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Every baby is so different, and like minik said, they are constantly changing their habits and schedules.
Congrats on your new blessing!
