cat naps?

My daughter just turned 3 months and is in the lovely cat nap phase.....lasts 20-30 minutes....ugh....anyone else going/g through this?  How long did it last?  Suggestions?  She sleeps up to 10 hours at night, eats and go back to sleep for a bit. so I can't complain about that, but she's obviously tired with these cat naps.

My LO is 4.5 months and has always slept long hours during the night (up to 11 hours), but has never napped long (20-30 min). Pedi is aware and said its totally normal for just cat naps if a baby is sleeping through the night.  They are getting the same amount of sleep in 24 hours as a baby who naps longer, but won't sleep through the night!

Yep, my lo is famous for her cat naps. She also will only take naps in her swing at home but naps longer and in a pack and play at daycare.

DS is 4.5 months as well and does the same thing. Gets around 9 hours at night and the does 20 minute naps during the day. Depending on the day I can get a decent length nap out of him though. He seems perfectly happy with this routine though.
