Worried-sleep

my lo sleeps great at night 9-4or5 and then naps about 7. My concern is the amount he sleeps. How long should day time naps be. Today his nap is going on two hours. He woke at 6 and took a 45 min nap about 730 and now he's still asleep from a nap that started at 11 (it's 1 now) he woke up some and I fed him about noon and he went back to sleep. Does this seem excessive?

Could be a growth spurt. I think a 2 to 3 hour nap is pretty usual. My ped did recommend waking then after 3 good though to help them stay on a good nighttime routine

My 8 weeks old only stays awake for about 50 minutes at a time and then he sleeps for anywhere between 59 minutes and two hours all throughout the day. He then goes to bed for the night at 7:30/8. Wakes at 1 and then 4 and then for the day at 7. Getting a total of 17 to 18 hours sleep each day. I've read that babies can need up to 19 hours of sleep each day at this age.
