When do babies typically start taking 2-3 naps a day?

I know all babies are different but curious when babies typically start going on more of 2-3 nap schedule?

My son is 4 months old and at probably 2 months he started taking only 2-3 Naps. He takes one between 9:30 and 10 and then one around noon or 1. Sometimes he takes a 3rd nap around 6 but his bedtime is 7:30 so the 6 nap is pointless. But sometimes he sleeps then anyway but it's usually pretty short.

Typically, babies will nap 3x a day starting at about 4-5m. Then, they will lose that third catnap between 7-9m. Mine dropped her catnap at 8.5m. 

Typically.

My 4.5 month old still takes four naps a day most days -- and they're usually each 45 mins, maybe with one longer nap if I'm lucky. Sigh.

my 6 month old takes a good morning nap around 9:00 and then an afternoon nap around 2:00.  She only takes the third nap if we go somewhere later in the afternoon and she falls asleep in the car or else if it is nice enough for a walk then she will take a catnap in the jogger....or else if we just stay home she stays awake from after her second nap till bedtime which is around 645pm

My dd is 4 months and she's been napping every 2 hours or so, granted they are short naps, about 30 min on the dot. We had a good nap schedule going back in October (around 2 months old) but when the time changed it screwed everything up and we never were able to get back into that routine.
