What is your baby's schedule?

Right now my baby is 4 months old and has kinda a crazy schedule.
Bedtime @ 9:30-10:00pm
Up @ 7:30am for a bottle and back down immediately
Up @ 11:30am
Down @ 1:30-2:00pm for a nap
Up @ 3:30 (we're having trouble with naptime right now but this was our schedule prior to that)
Down @ 5:30-6:30 for a very short nap
Back to sleep again @ around 9:30pm
This works well for us but I wonder if she's sleeping too much. Do you think I should wake her earlier in the day? Does your baby have a set schedule and if so, what is it?

Ugh my baby is still not on a schedule . She never would allow us to keep her on one .
But from what I have seen from others you have lucked out with your baby and I wouldn't worry that your baby is getting to much sleep . A baby actually requires a lot of sleep but most of us cannot get our babies to sleep the way they should . This schedule works for both you and your baby and I would go with it . Your baby will stop sleeping as much when she doesn't require it anymore . I wouldn't wake her up unless you feel it is going to throw her off her schedule for the next day or something .

Thank you for responding. Right now her schedule seems to be evolving a litte bit but as long as she has a semi-regular routine I'm happy.

My daughter is 6 months old now and usually gets up at around 7:00 AM, I usually feed her then depending on what time she wakes up during the night to eat.
She is up until 9:00 AM or so, playing and watching cartoons and then has a two hour nap.
Then is up at 11:00 AM and eats again, we usually go for a walk or out to visit my grandmother.
She eats again at 2:00 PM and then at about 3:00 PM and has an hour nap.
Then she doesn't go down for the night until 7:00 or 7:30PM and sleeps for about 4 hours at a time until she wakes for a bottle and then right back to sleep for another 4 hours.
She is pretty active and alert, but I hope she starts sleeping through the night at least if I only have to get up once... I have to go back to work soon and a little more sleep would be nice. She has been weaning herself off her bottles, she now eats 4 ounces instead of 6 at night... let's hope!
