6 month old sleep

Hi all, I seem to have got my 6 month old into some bad sleep habits in the day. He will only sleep in the car, the pram whilst walking, or on me. His naps are usually only half an hour, I cant seem to get him to sleep longer.
He has had a good bedtime routine since 12 weeks and will go to sleep himself in his cot then, but when I try to do it in the day he just plays or cries.
Additionally he has started waking up anywhere normally from 2am for a couple of hours completely wide awake, not seeming to want anything particular. He therefore seems to be waking later, between 8 and 9 rather than 6- 7.30 which became his norm.
Any advice on any of the above would be much appreciated!

No words of advice I’m afraid, just of solidarity - my 6 month old sounds exactly the same. I’m hoping that, with all of these things, “it’s just a phase” - it seems to have tied in with learning to roll over 🙄

Exactly the same with the rolling over thing Somerset mum, he tries to sleep on his side / tummy now too! Makes me feel better that he isn't the only one doing this!
