Normal: Takes a lot of energy to grow, and sleeping helps renew that energy. As long as she is feeding normally, has normal output as well as input, and is alert and curious while awake, she's probably fine., If you are still concerned, it is appropriate to have your child examined by her Pediatrician. And make sure she has her first dental check up at her 1st birthday.
