Baby sleep pattern

Question

Baby sleep pattern

Asked for Female, 30 Years

My 2 months old baby sleeps only for 6-7 hours at night and during day he takes just 2-3 naps of either half an hour or 40 mins. While he is awake he is pretty active and only wants to play and interact with people around. Also,his bowel movements, feeding is absolutely fine. Is this normal as I have heard that babies of his age should sleep at least for 15-16 hours. Please help.

Each baby is unique. If he is feeding well and gaining weight well you need not worry
