| Do Babies Have Sleepy Days?! I know babies are little people and have days where they will be more tired than other days but Brandon was really sleepy yesterday and hes still quite sleepy today! Normally when he naps during the day he only sleeps for an hour at a time but yesterday he slept all day and only woke for feeds and today he has been a bit more awake but when I fed him there he literally fell asleep while I was burping him!
Is this okay?! I phoned my mum and she said hes prob just growing?!

| it's a good question and i would say based on my little one today that yes they must as he's slept a lot today and only woken for feeds... shame he doesn't do it in the night though, the little rascal is waking every 1.5-2 hrs at the mo!
Will be interested to hear what other people say though?

| My last one was a very sleepy baby up until he was 4 months old. I started to worry about him. LOL
Now, I wish he'd sleep more often. LOL
Honestly, they go through growth spurts, etc. and that often makes them more sleepier some days than others. | | | | Status: Offline

| My LO is usually awake with small naps around an hour or 2 each time, but the last 2 days he's been sleeping ALL day!! He wakes up for feeds, and sometimes stays awake for an hour, but he goes back to sleep!!! He still sleeps at night (I was worried he wouldn't), but he just seems to be sleeping lately! I think he's just growing. He IS just getting over a cold, so that could be it too maybe.
I'm sure your LO is just tired! I compare them to us too... there are days when all I wanna do it sleep  | | | | Status: Offline
