This is my second baby, my first was not a great sleeper and didnt sleep reliably through the night till 18m.
my second baby is different 😂 falls asleep (albeit on me) at 7pm, quick dream feed at 10, back to sleep and sleeps until 7/7.30 with a dummy resettle. Weight gain etc all good.

I guess my question is, that average sleep at this age suggests 15 hours over 24. Leaving only like 3ish hours for naps? But he gets tired after 60-90 mins of awake time and can easily sleep on me or in the carrier for 1.5-2hours a time. Is he sleeping too much?

very rough schedule
wake at 7.30
nap 9-10.45
nap 12.15 - 2
nap 3.30 - 5
start night sleep between 7-7.30

this is a very rough guide, some days much less day sleep (usually when my toddler is not at nurs eg and the weekend!)

I think if baby seems happy and is gaining weight well, just enjoy this while it lasts as it may go to pot at 4 months!
