6 month old sleep unpredictable

I have a 6 month old whose sleep is so all over the place every night…. Once every couple of weeks we get an 8hour stint which is bliss however every other night it can be anywhere from waking every 10 mins to hourly. He’s still on 4 naps as he only naps for 30-45mins max and any time I’ve tried to move to 3 naps he’s up all night I’m assuming from being overtired
Current schedule is 2/2/2/2.15 - sometimes he’s not even making it to the 2hrs though
Same bedtime routine every night - bath bottle bed. He still has 1 bottle during the night too
Any tips on how to at least get some sort of sleep consistency
*to add- he has confirmed CMPA and reflux

I was about to suggest CMPA. Have you cut out soya as well? Checked for other allergies? Tried settling him on his stomach now he’s older and only if he’s comfortably rolling?

Waking every ten mins is a sign of extreme discomfort or pain I would say.

The book Precious Little Sleep really helped me, my 6 month old sleeps through the night now. Hang in there, it’s so tough and the unpredictability makes it worse! X
