Total newbie here but I have been a long time lurker (few months on and off!) I've not been on for a few weeks so apologies if this has already been mentioned. But I can't be alone in thinking it's worrying how much Oliver sleeps? He's almost 2 years old and still sometimes takes 2 naps. The other day Missy mentioned Ollie sleeping 15 hours overnight, and he took a nap that day (which can be anything between 2 to 3 hours according to Missy) that means that in a period of 24 hours he would have been awake for 6 hours. That's actually concerning!! 2 year olds are usually awake much more than that! I work with toddlers, most sleep around 11/12 hours overnight and take maybe a 2 hour on average nap. Some will miss their nap if busy etc.. and it really doesn't affect them too much. The reason it also concerns me is that they also stick him in front of the tv a lot, so even with that 6 hours being awake, maybe 1 hour spend eating, 2 hours ish for a film/tv programme and that only leaves 3 hours for him to be an active toddler (which even then they aren't massively active with him).
Now I am an adult and I know I function differently to a toddler, but if I oversleep it makes me feel rubbish and then you just feel tired but in a lethargic way. I worry that they are doing that to Ollie and it's going to affect him.
What's stopping them going out for a morning / evening walk with Ollie and Karma? Ollie could have a run around or go on a bike or something, he would have so much fun. I really feel sorry for him, I really do
