Does anyone else get super worried when your little one sleeps longer than "normal" for nap time..?

Yes - I have an irrational fear that when my older guy sleeps longer than normal, it’s like a childhood case of SIDS. I’m also like this with my cats and husband. However, I don’t wake them up, I just look that their chest is moving and then I’m okay. My LO is all over the place in sleeping length, but when he does have a longer nap I also begin to get anxious.

I actually used to oscillate between extreme anxiety over my older one sleeping too little and then sleeping an abnormal amount but I realized I can’t control how much he sleeps and can only control my reaction to his sleep or lack there of. So I’ve gotten slightly better over the last 2 years regarding these anxieties 😅😩

No, I never get worried I always let my kids sleep as long as they can. My 2 year old and 3 year old both usually nap for a pretty long time and I always let them sleep unless it’s getting later in the evening. I do get slightly worried when my baby naps for a long time, like 3+ hours so I’ll be checking on him constantly but I still won’t wake him up unless I feel like he’s literally slept all day and needs to eat.

They usually need it if they sleep longer

My daughter is older but when she used to sleep extra during the day I always knew she was getting an ear infection
