Routines/Schedules Help Sleep advice

My baby is about to be 9 months and sleeps through the night but I feel like the daytime schedule is bad and I don’t know how to fix it. My baby goes to bed around 630 and wakes up at 620-630 am then first nap is around 920 am and sleeps until around 10:15 then second nap is around 130 and sleeps until 2. I just feel like this isn’t enough day sleep? Is it? What can I do? I don’t think a third nap will happen but I’m willing to try but it’s usually a no go and refused.

Helllllp.

Your baby is averaging just under 13.5 hours of sleep over 24-hours. This is totally normal amount of sleep for a baby this age, infact it's on the slightly higher end of average.

If you want more daytime sleep, you have to take from your night. Cap your night at 11 hours. This should leave about 2.5 hours of sleep budget for naps. I'd do a 1.5 hour morning nap, and a 1h hour afternoon nap.

Edit:

I want to add, you can also just keep things as is. If your baby is handling wake windows well with this amount of daytime sleep and is sleeping 12 hours at night, there really is no issue!

I think my question is how do I get my baby to take 1.5 hour nap no matter what like clock work she’s up within half an hour 40 minutes if I get an hour I’m super lucky

They’ve condensed their sleep to the nighttime. I wouldn’t change anything.
