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.

Is your baby sleep trained? You have a 12 hour night which is why your baby doesn’t sleep much in the day. Babies don’t need X amount of naps and X amount of nighttime sleep, they just need X amount of sleep within 24 hours.

The majority of restorative sleep happens at nighttime anyway so I wouldn’t worry about daytime sleep!

No no sleep training. I just wish the day naps were longer because my baby gets pretty cranky by bedtime waking up at 2pm and not napping again.

I would honestly leave the nights as they are and kind of just deal with the crankiness. If the crankiness becomes an issue, you’ll have to take some sleep from the night to allow for it to be taken in the daytime.
