Anyone else with an LO who sleeps more at night and little during day?

So we survived the 3 mos growth spurt. ::knocking on wood and hoping I'm not jinxing myself by saying this out loud::  She was waking frequently at night but now I think it's over.  The past 2 days have revealed a new sleeping/wakeful pattern and I'm wondering if anyone else's LO is like this.

G is now sleeping roughly 7 hours at night, eats and sleeps for another 1 1/2-2 hours until she is up for the day.  She is now catnapping and rarely sleeping for more than 30 mins at a time.  She seems a little fussier and possibly needs to go to bed earlier now.  Last night we started her bedtime at around 7:30 and she was asleep by 8:15.  We were starting her bedtime around 8, but since she was so fussy and slept little during the day, I figured she was ready for bed. 

Is it ok if she's not getting in good long naps during the day?  She was 4 weeks early, so I don't know if developmentally it's an issue or not.

    My LO barely naps during the day AT ALL!  He'll take 20-30 minute catnaps..but that's it!  He goes to bed between 7:30 & 8pm...sleeps straight throught the night till around 5:30 or 6am.  My pedi said the older they get, the better they'll nap (1-2 hrs)...and go to sleep a little later at night.

    LO barely sleeps during the day now. I'm lucky if he will sleep 20 minutes now. The nice thing is that he'll sleep from 7pm to 6 am.

    It looks like the difference between Gianna and your LOs is that she's still waking at 3-4 and 6. Do they eventually sleep longer if they are catnapping during the day?

     That is exactly what my DD does! It was difficult to get things done when I was home but now I love it because she sleeps all night and lets me get ready in the mornings before work then she wakes up. Yesterday morning she didn't wake up till 9!!

    My DS takes two to three 15-20 min naps during the day but he sleeps a continuous 12 hours at night from around 8 to 8. Even as a newborn he was never a big sleeper during the day. I guess he sleeps so much as night he doesnt need a lot during the day.
