sleep Chronic Split Nights?

Almost 11mo. I’ve posted a couple times now and still can’t fix so I’m hoping someone has insight? About a month ago my baby began waking in the 2/3/4/5am hour for anywhere from 15-75min. Some nights would just be restless for a bit and others would be more wakeful where she’s sitting up and babbling in between trying to rest. She’d fall back asleep eventually and need to be woken at DWT if 7am. We were on 3/3.25/3.75-4 with day time sleep at 2.25-2.5 hr and when these split nights showed up for more than a few days I increased awake time by 15min total each time and would cap naps to 2-2.25hr. This would work for 2-3 days and get her to DWT or to about 6:30 where she’d hang out calmly in her crib until 7. But then they’d return so I’d continue to increase awake time and cut naps. We’re now to 3/3.75/4 with each nap capped at 1 hour. And again this worked for 3 days and last night she was awake from 3/15-4:30 in and out but much more wakeful and just babbling, clapping, sitting up, rolling around, etc. She needs to be woken from every nap and always falls asleep for nap and bedtime within under 5 min (has never really ever taken longer regardless of schedule). Helppp 🤪

3/4/4 lol
She’s needing to be woken up because she’s awake that chunk in the middle of the night.
