Anyone else's 8/9month old baby taking only 30min naps twice a day?

I don't understand as she used to nap so well and for the last couple of weeks she sleeps only for 30min twice a day, three times if I'm lucky but then she ends up sleeping later because that third 30min nap was close to bedtime. Anyone else had/have this problem?

My oldest did this. Two 30-minute naps a day, like clockwork. Stressed me out so much at the time, but looking back I wish I hadn't let it get to me so much. My second child isn't much better at napping but I'm more relaxed this time around!

What's nighttime sleep like?

My eldest was like this pretty much, never a great sleeper.
You could try cutting down to one nap after lunch now? Lots are ready for this by around 9 months.

Night sleep she's fine, wakes up once or twice for a feed, it's just the daytime

I don't think she's ready for only one nap a day. She has all the cues of wanting to sleep but just won't sleep for long
