Whats wrong with my baby?

All she wants to do is sleep! She has only been up a total of 2 hours today and thats because I made her get up. She did this 5 days stright last week then went back to her normal up all day self and then today its back to sleeping all the time. I put her to bed at 9:30 pm last night and I woke her up at 10 am because she normally gets up at 8:30 am. The after an hour and a half of being up she was ready for her nap which is normal but she slept from 11:30am- 5 pm! (normal nap is 2-3 hours long) I WOKE her up and she only stayed up for 45 minutes and has been asleep since! Its now 8 pm and I am thinking of waking her up. I don't know if this is serious or just a growth sprut but she is sleeping WAY more than she did when she was a newborn. Should I call her doctor?

BTW: she is 7 1/2 months old.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I dont know I have the opposite problem where my DD wont sleep at all...I dont know if this is normal as I just dont have a sleeper but it doesnt sound right to me..I know they say dont wake a sleeping baby but I would give the ped a call anyway just to be on the safe side

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

did you take her temp? If its normal, than she is probably fine

I have the opposite problem- a baby who stopped napping two weeks ago

I would call the ped., especially since this happened, went away, then happened again. She is probably fine, but why take a chance that there is something wrong and you aren't aware of it?

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I would call your ped too just to have a clear head.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I'd call the doctor to check in.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

Def call the doctor. I'm sure its nothing, but just for peace of mind!

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

How is she doing?

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

Anything new? How was the night? I wouldn't worry but call the ped just in case.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I would call the Dr just to feel better.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I would call your ped, to make you feel better.

Re: Whats wrong with my baby?

I called and they asked lots of questions about the way she is acting. They told me to keep an eye out and watch to make sure she is acting normal and eating normal. I forgot to add in my post that when she is awake she acts normal and she has no fever. She woke up at 8:30am on her own. so I will just wait and talk to her ped in person at church on Sunday and see if he thinks she should go in. Thanks for all the help.
