5 feed bath et
6.30 feed to sleep

How long was her afternoon nap?
I guess feeding at night became a prop right now and she cannot sleep so only boob is making her sleepy.

Her naps even if both 1.5h seems to be fine, however her day is 11h long. It probably wouldn't be reasonable to expect a night longer than 11/12h especially if both naps were good.

I found waking my lo up if he falls asleep after one side and then offering the other helps. I also brought the last feed earlier so he was hungrier at the df. He now goes from 10pm to 5am without a feed. Hour
Hope that's useful for you.
