Why is my newly 2 m/o sleeping all day today?

[taridayana]

He’s never done this before. He’s woken up to eat and back to sleep for 2-3 hours all day. He’s already a big boy for his age. No signs of sickness.. what’s going on? He’s usually up most of the day/short naps.

@taridayana Growth spurt. Developmental leap. Sleep shift. Coming down with something. Impossible to know. But babies change things up every few days so keep an eye on his food intake, dirty diapers and mood for any other changes, but it’s totally normal to have changes like this.

@taridayana Mine did this too at exactly 8 weeks. Went from 2 hours total of napping a day (30 minutes ~4x per day) to sleeping nearly 6 hours in one day. Of course I freaked out instead of enjoying the free time. She's evened back out as she approaches 9 weeks and is averaging about 4 hours of naps a day.

@daniel108 Reminded me of the day my baby had the longest nap ever. I was checking if he’s breathing every 10 minutes instead of taking a break.

@taridayana Sleepy days. Embrace them. It’s normal and unexplainable. Perhaps a growth spurt. Enjoy the little break. It won’t last.

@taridayana We’re on day two of the exact same thing here! 8 weeks and all she wants to do is sleep.

@taridayana My 7.5 week old just did this the other day where he only was awake to eat but the rest of the time he was asleep. Only lasted one day. He’s back to normal wake windows now. I am guessing (based on my research) that he’s going through a growth spurt.
