[blindkid] Sleep pattern for blind 5 month old

[Steve Jacobson]

Alicia,

It is not easy to determine what is normal because kids vary so much from one to another, and we don't know her 
full medical record.  If blindness is the only known disability, I would not think that should cause her to sleep 
significantly more.  If you have concerns, it would probably be a good idea to have her examined to be certain 
there are not other issues.  How much does she sleep in a typical day?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
