Good day everyone. i was informed by my infants school today that my child was sleeping more than usual at school and not during normal routine hours. she is turning 2 next week. what could be the cause. your assistance would be appreciated?

Possibilities: She is either sick or not (likely not). She may not be getting enough restorative sleep at home. She may be going through a growth spurt & need the extra. If her other daily activities are okay I would just monitor it. If she seems really off her routine I would have her evaluated.
