Hello 
My little Chloe has got me all confused, and hoping somebody could maybe stick my mind at ease?!
She will be 16 weeks old tomorrow, and since 2 months she has had a very good routine of having a total of one hour napping during the day (obviously in several naps) then sleeping 8-9pm til 8-9am. She's always incredibly happy and giggly, and loves playing!
Since yesterday, I can't keep the little one awake! She is formula fed, and has a 7oz bottle 4 times a day then an 8oz bottle in the mornings after sleeping through. She's still having these feeds, and on time, but as soon as she has finished, she falls asleep!
Yesterday, she slept from 8am-11.30am, 12.15-3pm, 3pm-5.30pm, then slept until 4am this morning!! She then slept from 4.45am til 8am, and then 9.45am until, well now, she's still sleeping. In between those times is obviously bottle and nappy change. When she wakes after these sleeps she is her usual happy self.
When she's had a bottle I always sit her up for about 20 minutes to allow it all to go down, and everytime whilst doing this, she has just leant back onto me (have her on my lap facing away) and fallen asleep. I was even winding her whilst she was snoring!
Can someone please tell me if this is something to worry about? She has no temperature, fever or any kind of poorliness that I can tell, could it just be one absolutely epic growth spurt? I have tried to keep her awake for a while before a bottle but she just becomes very grouchy...
