I think my baby naps too much

He's on his 4th nap and it's only 4:18pm.  Generally speaking, he falls asleep around 10ish and sleeps til 6am, eats, then takes a nap until around 9 am.   He almost always falls asleep after I nurse him. Is that normal still at this age?  Would you consider the sleeping until 9 am a nap or still part of his overnight sleeping?

    My LO takes a few naps during the day and still STTN.
    She usually sleeps til about 6 or 7 and falls asleep once she is at the sitters.
    Last few nights she has been waking up at about 4 to eat and go back to sleep and guessing that's her version of the 4 month wakeful period.

    When she's up is active, talkative and wants to know what's going on. I'd say you're lucky!

    DS takes 4-5 naps per day.  Usually for a total of less than 4h per day, though.  DS also sleeps 11h at night.

    He is very alert and lively when he's awake. These naps range anywhere from 2+ hrs to 30 mins.  He usually only has a super long nap in the morning. I guess it's good that he loves his sleep but I worry about everything!

    I would definitely consider that first nap part of his overnight sleep if he is literally waking, eating, then passing out again.

    When he goes back to sleep till 9am, that is still part of his overnight sleep. DD did this for a long time. 2-3 naps is very normal for a baby his age. No need to worry.

    I'm seriously jealous right now. I agree I would consider the morning "nap" part of his overnight sleep. I also want to pinch his cheeks in your siggy pic, cutie pie!
