She only takes 2 naps a day that can be a hour or two hours... If you have anything in mind please share. Thank you.

Doctors aren't always right when it comes to babies sleep patterns. They sleep whenever the hell they want haha. My son was like this too though and the only thing that worked was the cry it out method. We started when he was six months old because his dad couldn't handle having him in bed with us anymore. I feed my son while rocking him in his room..I make sure it's as dark as possible and also I have his white noise machine on. Then when he was almost asleep I lay him in his crib and walk out. When we first started this he would cry for 20 mins maximum then fall asleep. By the fourth night he would fall asleep within five mins of crying. Then after that he would only whine a little when I walked out but then pass out. Now he's 13 months and he doesn't make a peep when I lay him down. At first he would wake throughout the night a few times but we just let him cry and he usually falls back to sleep within ten mins. Now he sleeps all night but sometimes wakes up once and it's because he's teething so I usually go get him just to give him some teething tablets. Also there's a way to tell if it's an "I need you" cry or an "I want you" cry. If they cry and then take a break and are silent for a few seconds then they are fine and just want you. If they cry non stop with no pauses then they NEED you and you need to go pick them up. Idk how you feel about letting your daughter cry it out, it's not for everyone but it's what worked for us.
