4 month old only having 2 naps a day

Hi all, just looking for a bit of advice and whether anyone else's routine is like mine.
Little man is 4months old now and day time sleeps were getting a bit difficult as he was only going to sleep on the boob and I didn't know whether to put him in his buggy etc... so I decided to start a routine.
Firstly I think he finds it difficult to sleep without quiet so I've I know started taking him upstairs into his cot in the day.
He really surprised me this morning and went down in the cot awake for 1hour20mins and he's just gone down now for what I'm hoping is the same amount (hoping 1hr30). This seems to be enough for him throughout the day and I'm wondering whether 2 naps is OK for 4mo?
Any advice welcome! :) Thanks x

What's he like at night? 14hrs sleep out of 24 is good for a 4-6 month old so if his nighttime sleep totals 11hrs (or roundabout there) I'd say that's fine, alltho you don't want him awake for more than 2.5hrs at a go in the day. I've been using Huckleberry sleep app n it's v helpful to predict ur baby's "sweet spot" for naptime

At4 months my dd was having about 10 hours at night (12 hours down but actually asleep for around 10)

Then a half hour to an hour nap in the morning and an hour to two hours in the afternoon. She wouldn't sleep anymore than that but seemed fine. Teething has ruined everything now at 6 months!

He sleeps around 11 hours at night but has started waking as he's at the 4 month regression mark.
He slept for 1 1/4hour this morning and 45 mins this afternoon so he's having a cat nap now (4.30).
Hoping the 2 naps will get a little longer so we won't have to cat nap. :)
