Too Much Sleep?

Finn has literally been asleep all
weekend! I'm wondering if I should be
concerned. He doesn't have a fever and
he's his usual smiley self when he is
awake but he hasn't slept this much since
he was a week old.
He woke up at 6, ate and went back to
sleep, up again at 9 to eat, back to sleep
at 10:30, up at 2:30 to eat, back to sleep
at 3:30, up at 6:30 to eat, I wanted to
keep him up until his bedtime which is
9:30 but he couldn't keep his eyes open
and fell back to sleep at 8. It was
pretty much the same yesterday, but he had
a bit more awake time.
Do babies sleep more during a growth
spurt?

Yes ma'am they do. All the way up til
they're about 2 years old.. Jacob did it
a lot when he was a baby, and .Caty does
it now too. Usually I cant get her to
sleep for nothing, but when shes having a
growth spurt she'll sleep like a rock all
day.

How old is finn? It's not uncommon for
newborns and infants to get 20 hours of
sleep in a day sometimes.

its either a growth sprut or hes getting
sick...Watch out for signs of a cold and
what not....I thought my son was the
greatest baby sleeping and eating the same
way but little did I know he was sick....I
dont wanna make you paranoid but you need
to take a close look and be alert...

Thanks everyone. I'll keep an eye on
him.
He had me up at 4am, which is not like
him. I'm exhausted!
Lauren, he's 10 weeks. He'd been getting
about 14 hours of sleep a day and having
long periods of awake time, then all of
the sudden he's sleeping non-stop.
I miss our old routine!

Chu went through the same thing around the
same time. I'm pretty sure it's normal.
Then he went through another period where
he stayed awake almost all day. Now he
sleeps 12 hours at night and takes 2 two
hour naps during the day. He's really
only awake 8 hours a day now but not all
at once. They go through phases I think.

I wish trey slept like that! he's never liked
sleeping. 
My nephew is 2 1/2 and sleeps all the
time. He's the laziest little thing-lol.
He'll sleep from 7.30pm-10am and then go
down for a nap from 12-3. It ridiculous!
He's always been like that. I guess
it's a normal thing-lol finn's young
still, i'm sure it'll adjust soon
(hopefully-  )

Yeah like I said .Caty does it so did
.Jacob... Now, on a normal day, .Caty
will be up at about 9 am til 12, then
again most of the afternoon with a short
20 minute nap here and there, then she'll
have her lat bottle about 10:30, goes to
sleep about 11:30 and *usually* sleeps til
9.. This morning she woke up about 6 for
a bottle. Unusual, but nothing to worry
about. Jacob on the other hand, sleeps
from about 11 pm til 9 and has a short nap
for about an hour at or around 3. He used
to sleep for about 2 hours in the
afternoon but not anymore.
