I am a FIRM believer in this. While there may be an average, different children need different amounts of sleep. I don't think that young babies/children can sleep too much.
When my daughter had problems going to sleep and staying asleep, it was because she was overtired. She needed a LOT more sleep than my other two children and needed to be on a much stricter schedule than they did. She had a VERY fine line between being tired and going to bed and going to sleep, and being overtired and not able to go to sleep or stay asleep. For her, getting her on a schedule of nap at 9:00 AM, nap at 1:00 PM, and in bed at 6:00-6:30 PM made a world of difference in her sleeping.
Good luck!
