Struggling with Naps/bedtime as wake windows get longer

Exact same schedule as my little one and then she’s wide awake at 5am it’s a killer! 😴

It took my baby like a week to adjust, but we just stayed consistent with the times and now he just follows it on his own.
We start waking him by 6:30am.
First nap from 9:30-10:45am (we had to wake him from this to help get him on a schedule at first).
Second nap from 2:15pm-3:30pm (again wake from nap if needed)
Then bed time at 7:30/7:45ish.

This can fluctuate by 30 minutes if he we all end up wanting to sleep in a bit later and do a 7am wake time!

Another thing that we did was make sure during his wake windows he was being super active and getting himself tired out/also eating enough!

Looks very similar to our schedule too. She is starting to fight her sleep even after a 4/4.5 hour wake window 😞

I think I would possibly try a 1 nap routine with wake windows like that

I found capping the first nap helped to get a longer, earlier afternoon nap. Her first nap is around 930 ish for 30mins /45. Then pm nap 130ish - 1530 at the latest then 730/45 bedtime. She has 2.5-3hrs day time sleep.

Yeah my little girl isn’t always happy about being woken up but the last few days she’s been naturally waking up at these times so she must be adjusting. We only have one wake up a night at the moment, she’s NEVER slept through 🤣

Thanks for all the perspectives! Is there a reason it's best to cap the first nap before the second?

I think some people do it so that if they have longer wake windows , a 2nd can be fitted in, or if 2nd nap is harder, it might make them more tired for that nap.
I've never capped the first nap with my children, I've always capped the 2nd so that as awake time becomes longer, that nap becomes an hour and over time as they gear up to have one nap, that one eventually goes.
I don't cap the morning one as its this one that starts to be shifted towards midday when they go to one nap x
