Baby waking out of habit

Hi there
Any tips on how to break a baby waking out of habit? My LO who is 4 months old wakes every 2.5 hours to the minute! This is regardless of how much sleep or feed he’s had during the day. When he wakes he’ll only take a very very small so it’s not that he’s waking from hunger.
Any tips on how to break this habit? I know he’s still very little and needs to feed at night but I do honestly believe some of his wakenings are habit not hunger

Have you tried giving him a bit of boiled and cooled water instead of milk?

I don't think there is anything you can do , my little boy has slowly stopped waking out of habit , gone from 5-10 wakes to 2 wakes from 8 months to 11 months .

Just a slow progress I'm afraid
