Is this sleep routine ok?

Little one is nearly 8 Months Old.
He goes down to bed at 6.30pm (he has gradually brought his own bedtime forward from 7.30-8) and sleeps until 6.30am - 7.15am with one night time wake up for a bottle around 1/2am (although the other night it was 4.30am 🤷🏻‍♀️ Takes his night feed and is back down within 15mins no fuss or moaning.
He has two naps during the day 10am and 1.30pm both can be 45mins - 1.30mins each.
Is this an ok sleep pattern for a 8 month old?

Sounds very similar to mine when he was 8 months (and as he is now at 11mths) but he dropped his night bottle at around 4 months so he goes straight through without a feed.

Sounds very similar to my 8 month old except one of her naps is always around 1-2 hrs and the other 30-45 min. Up once (or twice!!) for a feed still overnight - can not wean her off it.

Very similar sleep times to my daughter (now 10 months but has been sleeping like this for 3-4 months now), but minus the night feed.

He dropped his night feed for a while but has started waking for it again 😐
Is it ok for them to still wake for a night feed at this age?

I hope so because I cannot wean her off it. I've tried diluting the formula and reducing the amount and she knew straight away and screamed until she got a full bottle.
I've been trying to feed her up during the day and offer milk more than usual. I honestly think it's a habit.
The only thing I'm worried about is when the start getting teeth apparently milk can cause a bit of decay when it's pooled in their mouths overnight
