Split nights are absolutely killing me! My son is 7 months and wakes at about 3 or 4am and is awake for about 2 hours every. Single. Night.
He's smiley when I go to put his dummy back in, little rascal. He's been through a lot of developmental changes recently (learned to roll both ways, sitting, changed from exclusive breastfeeding to bottle and solids, moved to his own bedroom etc). We've tried shorter naps and even tried going down to two naps, neither have helped.
Urghhh help

Whats his last wake window before bed?

We had this after going through some changes too so we swapped to a more strict nap schedule in the day instead of just letting him sleep whenever he's tired. It did help for a couple of days but then he was back to having a split night last night, not sure why either.

I agree with this! I only let my girls nap for two hours during the day. Last nap depends on how their day naps go.
They like to try to go to bed around 5 so I let that happen but only until 7 and then in bed by 8:30 (it takes a whole hour or two to get them to bed)

my son is waking up around 6am every day, 7 if we are lucky. He usually has his first nap around half 9 which lasts an hour. 2nd nap is usually around 1pm for an hour, then 3rd nap around 4pm for 30 mins. He then has a feed, his solids and is ready for bed around 7pm but usually takes 30 mins to an hour to get him down.
Today his naps were a bit delayed. He woke up at 7am, first nap was 10am for about an hour but then he's only just napped at 2:45pm so I'm going to let him have an hour and 30 mins nap and try to just do the 2 naps today. He seems to be wanting 3 naps some days and managing with 2 naps on other days. Hasn't seemed over tired (can tell by his cry when fighting it). Only issue is that he is waking quite frequently in the night (every 2h - 3h), not even for a feed.

my son is having this exact same routine RN and him waking up that much made me think that I was doing smth wrong .. he's a breastfed baby
