Baby’s bedtime slides later & later

If I follow my 11-month-old’s natural wake/sleep schedule, his bedtime gets later and later. He tends to nap every 3.5 hours, give or take. Today we tried ‘correcting’ the sliding schedule by waking him up early but then he was just tired and tearful.
Do others have a sliding schedule issue? And if so, do you try to ‘manage’ it? In the past, my baby has corrected it himself by waking up early every now and then. I wonder whether I should just leave it to him in future.

Get him down for a nap earlier first thing - we were doing 2/3/4 hours for ages. So two hours after he wakes up, back down for a nap.

He’s not ready that soon, but perhaps he would be if I gave him breakfast earlier. I tend to give it an hour after he’s woken up.
