Too much sleep?

Is there such a thing as baby sleeping too much. My daughter is 3 months old and she has been sleeping through the night for over a month (7-8 hours) and then she will take 2-3 hour naps during the day. She doesn't seem like she is sick beside being constipated where she will get cry and be inconsolable for 15-20 mins. Besides that she is a happy baby. TIA

That sounds pretty normal to me. At three months old it's recomended they get 15 hours of sleep a day. 10 hours at night and three naps a day equaling 5 hours (this is just an estimate). So it sound like your LO is right on.
