4 and 1/2 month old napping at wrong times

Hi, I need advice my 4 an 1/2 month old won't nap properly through the day, I end up putting her to bed at 5 because she is so tired she won't stay awake till 6 for her bath bottle THEN bed.
We were doing really well with the routine, 6 bath, 6.30 bottle then bed, dream feed at 10.30 awake at 4am to change feed and back to sleep to 7.30am.
The other day I put her down for a nap at 3pm and she slept till 7am (with feed and changed in between).
Yesterday she was exhausted at 5 so did bedtime routine early but then she kept us up from 3am. Today she has gone down again at 5pm because she is so tired. I try to put her down for naps, it works in the mornings it's just the afternoon timings that wrong, she doesn't always go down even when she's tired.
Can any one give me advice? TIA

I am sure it is frustrating, and I remember it well, but your child can't tell the time or understand your need for routine.

Why don't you just go with her needs and things will settle down again soon enough?
