Mine also slept loads at that age and still does. He starts getting sleepy after about 1-2 hrs of being awake.

Harrison generally wakes up between 6-8am... Depends on how tired he is I suppose lol. He then has several cat naps for about 10 minutes each then sleeps properly from about 11-12 and wakes up around 4 for a feed and dozes on and off again until about 5pm when I try and keep him awake until 6.15 or so when he has his bath. He goes down after his bottle any when between 7-8pm and sleeps until about 11pm, wakes up for an hour, sleeps again til 3am wakes up again for an hour then sleeps until about 6am. He sleeps quite a bit too, they're supposed to still aren't they?

Babies should sleep for as much as they like to sleep.

If she's not cranky and crying from being overtired and if she's still sleeping so well at night I really wouldn't change a thing if I were you!

Keeping up a baby who wants to sleep really isn't a smart thing to do!
