My son is 3 1/2 this is his first year in school. he goes from 9:00- 3:00 his teacher has been telling me he falls asleep in class a lot. at first I thought nothing of it. he napped before he started school (still naps on shabbos and sunday). he goes to bed at around 7:30-8:30 sleeps about 11 hours a night. I thought he just needed time to get used to the change. but she says he falls asleep during odd hours (not nap time) like music or lunch. today she mentioned maybe he has low iron. I never thought of this, has anyone had a similar situation? I thought its normal for a 3 year old to take naps.

Speak to your pediatrician. They can have the results of his iron level within minutes of doing the blood work. Some 3 1/2 still take naps though I dont think it's necessary at all after an 11 hour night...
