This past week he has stopped napping. He'll only nap if he's being pushed in the stroller or if he's going for a car ride, (but not in the swing). He's not overly cranky. Only when he's over stimulated with too many people does he then seem really cranky.
He's sitting next to me right now in his bouncy seat playing and laughing at the hanging toys. And he hasn't slept in nearly 10 hours.
He sleeps pretty good at night, wakes up for 2 feedings and then goes back to sleep for a total of about 9 hours. Is this enough sleep for a 4 month old?

Naturally the older they get the less they tend to sleep though i think your baby is still too young to no have had a sleep in 10 hours but i guess if he is happy you shouldn't be too worried. I would mention this to your doctor though when it is time for his next check up.

I guess every kid is different, but 9 hours a day doesn't seem like a lot for a growing baby. And it may be!
My 2.5 year old still sleeps around 13 hours a day. A 2 hour nap and 11 through the night. I'd talk to my doctor or pediatrician..just to rule out any other problems. I don't say this to scare you, but there may be sinus trouble or something that's causing sleep apnea, or something like that. Better safe than sorry!
