How much napping is too much??
DS just started day care this week, so we're only on day 2, but he napped for practically the whole day!!
I left him there at like 8:15am and then his sleep as per day the daycare worksheet is:
845-915a 1025a-150p 345p-450p
he was just waking up when I picked him up at 450... pretty much slept the day away!
this concerns me since he never napped that much when I was home with him. plus I'm like, how engaged are they with him if he's just passed out all day? what are your thoughts? is this ok? should I say something to them?

At that age, I wouldn't worry. I think it's normal for him to be tired. He's young, it's a long day in a new place, and there is lots going on. I'm sure in a few weeks he will adjust and be awake more.

I agree. He could also be going through a growth spurt. I remember DD slept A LOT around 3 months.

I worked at a daycare for several years and it was not uncommon in the newborn room for the kids to sleep for that long. I think you're fine

I worked in daycare and most babies that young took 3 naps a day. As they get older they will nap less. And change the times they nap.

I think it's fine as long as he's not up all night. You don't want day/night confusion to start again at 3 months.
