Is Excessive Night Time Sleeping Normal In An Infant?

There is no cause for concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms,
Being a parent myself , I understand your concern and apprehensions.
Unlike adults infants do not recognize the cycle of day and night. They have their own biological clock: They exactly do what they have been following in the mother's womb.
Its quite common for babies to feeding and active during day and sleeping during night. vice versa is also normal.
There is no cause for concern as long as the baby is accepting feeds well , urine output is adequate and weight gain is adequate as per your local standards and references.
Feeding should be on demand.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance , will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
Best Regards
