How long are babies supposed to sleep during the day?

As title really - we're still having problems getting Jensen to sleep - during the day but mainly at night. So just wondering what everyones else's LO sleep patterns are like.

I think we're letting him have a nap too late in the day and maybe I'm expecting him to sleep longer than he should - but he just seems grizzly!

Our rough routine at the mo is:
6.30-7.30 wake up
9-10.30 - 30 mins nap
12-2ish - nap - but I have to force him to go to sleep - rocking him in his buggy, and he'll wake up every 15-20 mins - which I have to rock him everytime to get him back to sleep, which means I can't get anything done, like have a bath etc!

Then he'll get grizzly about 4ish so another 30 mins nap, then he'll get grizzly about 5.30-6pm which I think is our downfall cos we'll rock him in his buggy for another nap. Thing is this is the time I can make/eat dinner (have to feed my two step-kids too, which is why we can't eat any later).

So whats your daytime nap routine? And how do you get your LO's to take a nap!?

How long has he been like this and does he seem unsettled lately?

My Holly is having trouble sleeping in the day since she started teething a week or so ago.

But normal pattern:

6-7.30 wakes
8-9 nap for 1-2 hours
12-1 nap 1-3 hours
4-5 nap 30 mins - 1hr
last bottle 7ish
8-9 down for night occassionally wakes at 3am but i give her her dummy and she goes back to sleep

Lola sleeps very little in the day.

She goes to bed at about 11 p.m. without problems and wakes up at 3 a.m,then goes back to sleep and wakes up at 7.

During the day she'll sleep about twice for an hour or less.
