KJ, Can you try to change their day naps? It might take a few weeks but aim for a short morning nap (aiming for no morning nap eventually) and a longer afternoon/lunchtime nap. 3 x 30 minutes is = 1 x 1.5 hours which would be a great afternoon sleep.

Might take some time to persevere keeping up grumpy babies but the aim is to get that longer stretch in the afternoon. Try to have them awake sometime before 3pm so that their night sleep is unaffected (assuming they sleep around 7pm in the evening atm).

They are developing and the days naps will change but the overnight one shouldn't really change in a big way unless disturbed by illness.
