Baby sleep issues

5 month old sleeps really less in the night as well as the day. She wakes up between 4-5am irrespective of her bed time and would require constant rocking just to be kept in light sleep. Day naps are not more than 30-40mins .

I have tried extending her naps but it doesn't always work.

Her bedtime is between 7pm-9pm depending on the last nap of the day .

She is active and playful during the day but really fussy starting late noon and needs constant stimulation. I wonder whether she is just overtired because of lack of sleep.

I want her to sleep around 7:30 pm so that she gets at least 9 hours of night sleep but it doesn't always work out because of her crap naps.

I do follow wake windows and her sleep cues but she resists the last nap hard unless i let her sleep on me.

She is also hitting her milestones on time so I am not sure whether she is just a low sleep need baby or less sleep is impacting her development.

Has anyone else gone through this with their baby?
