What is wrong with a two year old whom sleeps seventeen hours a day?

Answer by  Sally1049 (158)

A child this age should sleep around ten to twelve hours a day. You should have your doctor check it out to see if there is an underlying cause.

My guess would be there diet is a bad one, and that they aren't getting enough sun and activity. 17 hours a day is far too much, as at this age, they should be around 12-14 hours.

There could be a number of things wrong with him. The only advice I can give you is to take him to his doctor and tell him about the issue. Your child is sleeping WAY too long compared to other toddlers and should be checked out immediately to see if there are further problems.

Obviously the child is bored out of its mind if it is sleeping 17 hours a day. It is very bored and very unhappy.
