Sleep pattern of small babies is very different  and if the child is not having any discomfort or any cause like infantile colic ,nasal blockage or any kind of  pain and if the child is playful  and taking proper feeding so this pattern will get normal with time.just keep monitoring your baby for comfortable position and temperature.
every baby has its own sleeping pattern ,only after 6 mons of age you can set a regular sleep cycle gradually with time n age.
do not allow day time sleep  ,
massage the feet of the baby for a relaxed and undisturbed sleep.tr
lesser the noise n better the sleep.

Hi mom
Samll babies have Different sleep pattern. They will follow proper sleep pattern as they grow up. If ur baby is active and comfortable when awake, passing out urine 6-8 times in a day, gaining weight, accepting feeds then no need to worry
