ENJOY IT!
It's completely normal for a baby to sleep that much. Take advantage of this and get some sleep yourself!

It is normal, my son has always been a heavy sleeper ever since he was born. He is almost 14 months old and sleeps 13 during the night and he still takes two naps during the day. I guess he just requires more sleep than other babies. Every baby is different. By the way his naps range from an hour and a half to three hours. When he is sick he usually takes about a four hour nap. So enjoy it while you can because this may change then again this may not. Good Luck

My baby is 3 month also! And yes that's normal! Babies at this age need to sleep about 15 hours a day. The average is 10 hours at night and 5 during the day. However my son sleeps from 11pm til about 10 am... of course he wakes for feedings every two to three hours but he's a big boy so that's to be expected (he's 20 lbs). Good luck with your little one and I hope he/she continues to sleep good for you!

Well, my Dr said it was normal. Thats the age they start sleeping longer. My daughter began sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months and now shes 9 months. She goes to bed at 730 and sleeps until 600 in the morning.

I am the mom of three. My girls all slept good but not that good. However, my parents told me I slept 12 hours a night from the time I was 6 weeks old. My body still requires lots of sleep. Your baby will be fine. Make sure she is gaining the proper weight and enjoy it,

my second baby is 11 weeks old. He sleeps from 7.30pm till 5.30am has a 6oz feed and then back to sleep till 9 9.30am ish. If i am not going out for the day or my 2.5yr old hasn't woken him.
He will also sleep most of the day as well if out in car or pushchair. If at home he will only sleep for between 1-3 hours through the day.

Dont worry, let him sleep as long as he wants. He will wake up when he's hungry. Enjoy it hun. My son started sleeping 12 hours at 6 weeks. And now he is 8mths old and wakes up once in the night to eat and then goes back to sleep. So their sleeping patterns change.

Sure. 2 out of my 3 kids were sleeping all night at 2 months old. As long as baby is eating well, growing and thriving he/she is fine.

Be happy, it sounds like you are one of the lucky ones to actually get some sleep :) It's very normal for babies to sleep this much, babies need a lot of sleep :)

WooHoo! Isn't it GREAT! My daughter who was born this past May is doing the same thing she also takes a couple of naps in the daytime as well, what a welcome relief from my first child who was 11 months old before i got a full nights sleep. Just relax and enjoy you got yourself a good one :o)
