Sleeping Too Much?

Hey guys.
I have a question.
Alrite.
Gabe goes to bed in between 8-9pm.
He wakes up everyday at about 10am.
We eat breakfast, play a bunch,
& then he goes down for a nap at
noon.
He wakes up at about 2pm.
We have lunch,
& play some more.
Then usually at about 5, he goes down
again
until like 6:30 or 6:45..
Then he has a bath around 7:45,
a bottle at 8, & is in bed right after
that..
But sometimes I feel like he sleeps too
much?
Like, he doesn't play enough?

at 10 months Ava was going to bed at 7:30,
waking at 7:30. She'd nap around 9:30-11
then again from 2-4.
Every child's different.

Can we switch children please?? If you
want one that doesn't sleep you can have
Brayden(only temporarliy of course!)
Brayden is 11 months and we are lucky if
he naps for an hour or two during the day
and during the night he probably sleeps
about 8 hours, waking atleast 2 times..

Jaylon gets up around 5:30am, goes down
for a nap around 11:30am until 3:00pm or
so and goes to bed somewhere close to
7:30pm. He usually sleeps through. He's
10 months too.
Every baby is different. I would love to
sleep until 10:00!

I guess for some reason I just feel like
I'm not spending enough time with him?
It's so silly that I feel like a bad mom
for letting my son nap during the day!
LOL. The days just go by so fast.

It seems to me that Brayden's sleep
deprived. He's not sleeping enough. I
pmed you with the info I promised like 2
weeks ago. Sorry so late!

I know he IS sleep deprived.. but don't
think its because I'm depriving him of his
sleep! I'm doing everything to try to get
him to sleep. Still no luck even after
trying everything you ladies have offered
me.. I'm going to read your pm right now
maybe I'll learn few more new helpful
tips! Because I want to fix this problem
SO bad, I know its not healthy!

Liam was taking two naps a day until he
was 15 mos. I think Gabe knows when hes
sleepy and if he wants to nap let him.

sometimes it feels like your child is
asleep more then they are awake, my kids
usually go to bed at 8pm and wake up
around 9am, they both go for a nap around
12-1 for 2-3 hrs. Thats the only nap they
have, joseph doesnt always sleep though.
And if they have a nap thats less then an
hr or no nap if we are busy that day then
they go to bed at 7 instead. As they get
older it feels like naps are needed
otherwise they get cranky and whiny and
start throwing tantrums!

Oni slept a lot at that age too.
My best friend thinks her son sleeps too
much too. He'll be a year on the 4th and
he's only awake for about 5 hours out of
the day.
The older he gets, the more awake he'll
become!
Milk it while you got it though!!! Cuz
you'll be BEGGING for naps when he's
older! LOL!

Can we trade children at night please?
LOL
I bet he's probably going through a growth
spurt. But like others have said, every
child is different. If you're worried
about it, maybe you could cut out his
afternoon/evening nap? I know easier said
than done...
