W/U & stick to routine or not?

My 14 month old LO is sleeping great now, thankfully! but I wonder if he needs more sleep or if I should stick wit what I am doing since it works. I feel bad waking him up everytime!

7-wake & nurse
8:15 breakfast
11 lunch
12:15 nap to 2:30
5-dinner
6:45 bath, nurse, brush teeth, book then lights out by 7:30
8 sleeping

So he gets 13-13.5 hrs sleep but would sleep longer in am and at nap. I wake him within 10 min or so of the time to keep him on schedule. I would hope he goes to bed earlier if he needs more sleep, but seems happy with this routine. This morning at 7:10 he was sound asleep and I wondered what would happen if I let him sleep, but we had places to go and had to get up. I don't want him staying up later because he slept longer in the day. WWYD? Should I just try? In my gut I know it will mess up meal, nap and bedtime...

HI there to be honest it sounds like you're pretty much spot on and very in tune with your baby Perhaps you could give him an extra 15 mins in the morning if he's sound asleep? He's on a 13 hour day which is fine as it's working for you, but it hopefully wouldn't be a problem to tweak slightly. How adaptable is he? If he's v touchy with sleep then don't mess with it, if he's not then give it a go, 15 odd mins shouldn't be a disaster
