A. This sleeping patter is very common in babies till 5-6 months, but having very small naps of 30 minutes totally varies from baby to baby. Night time sleeping patter is usually of 09-11 hours which is very fine. For further details of short naps would recommend consulting a pediatrician for a concrete solution.

A. Sleep Cycle in smaller babies is very different and they have a certain pattern initially which becomes regularize at around 6 to 8 months of age and if the baby is comfortable with no irritability because of infantile colic nasal blockage any regurgitation etc you should not worry just give a cvyomfortable position to the baby and no medicine is required.
