Our daughter currently gets up around 7am, naps around 9, 12, and 3 - and is usually done napping by 3:30 or 4. Each nap is 30-90 minutes (usually 45 min on average, she's a short napper despite all of my efforts).
We then have the problem that she is tired by 5:30 or 6:00pm - and we either need to give her a catnap by then, or put her to bed. She still gets tired every 1.5 - 2.5 hours - so we don't know whether it is better to shoot for an early bedtime, or do a 4th nap. She gets overtired if we keep her up for bedtime at 7:30 or 8 even with an extra 4th catnap, but when we do earlier bedtime she wakes up after 2 hours and then doesn't sleep as well at all at night.
Any advice from parents that have been in the same boat?
