Wake Windows Advice

Hello!

My little one has just turned 8 months old and I am absolutely racking my brain sick with worrying about wake windows.

Currently, she sleeps really well overnight (11-13hrs most nights with 1 wake for a feed).

My issue is daytime! Her naps are honestly all over the place ranging from 30min-2hrs but mostly on average around 35-45min per nap. Currently, it is a struggle to even keep her up past 2 hours! We are on 3 naps a day but have recently had a few days with 2 naps (but they have been about 1.5 & 2hrs long)

When she is awake, she is honestly non stop crawling, climbing, talking & playing. My head tells me she is just exhausting herself from being so active and that I shouldn't worry. But EVERYTHING I read, says she should be up closer to 4 hours which just seems impossible for us!

Late afternoons i feel like we can push closer to 3hrs but throughout the day, wake windows are on average 1hr 45 😫

Open to advice & opinions! She is very happy, eats like a champion and is developing well, but I just cannot shake what I am reading 😫

Please help!
