My dd has been sleeping like 12 hours at night and still taking her 2 hour nap (don't hate me - it has taken a lot of heartbreak to get here). She is having a huge growth spurt right now after not growing for almost a year because of her food intolerances. Is it normal for her to sleep this much?

It definitely was for my son. He'd suddenly start eating like a mad man and sleeping just great. I would even be able to get 2 naps in some days. I LOVE growth spurts!

Ditto. My dd is 9 months and when she's doing serious growing she'll take two naps/day (total of 5 hours asleep) plus sleep 12hrs at night. It's WONDERFUL. Just enjoy it

Yes! This is happening with my 2 1/2 yo right now and it is wonderful to have the extra time for myself while she sleeps in.

Yeah, sounds about right. My DS didn't grow for like 2-3 months at ALL, and then all of a sudden he started taking 3+ hour naps for a few days... and sure enough, within just 3 or 4 days he'd grown an INCH!!
