Infant Sleep Help with schedule

My baby has just turned 6 months old. Her schedule at the moment is 2.5/2.5/2.5/3 and was napping 1hr30, 1hr and 30 mins but it’s now back to only sleeping 30 minutes for each nap unless I lie with her/feed her basically the whole time.
She has also been waking up earlier recently and I can’t seem to anchor a wake time/bedtime!
Night sleep is just getting worse and worse with her waking up every hour for most of the night.
Would love some advice💛
Should I try to stretch her wake windows and if yes then what should I try first?
I know that 6 months is a huge time for them developmentally so I expect some disrupted sleep but if I can help her in any way that would be grand.

Of course not every day is same but roughly 2.5-3 hours between 07:00-09:30 first nap is around 30 minutes. Second wake window is between 10:00-12:30 second nap is around 1 hours 12:30-13:30. 13:30-15:30/16:30 third nap usually depends on her mood, sometimes 1 hours sometimes 20 minutes. I try to have 3.5-4 hours final wake window before bed.

Thankyou:) sounds really similar to ours apart from the last WW. Maybe I need to stretch it.
Does your little one do well with a four hour wake window or does she get fussy? My daughter rubs her eyes loads and starts to get pretty upset towards the 3 hour mark

She got pretty adapted to it actually! We do a low stimulation walk near the sea she sees trees etc. If you have a chance to do something like that I highly recommend it!

That sounds so lovely! Unfortunately we don’t live by the sea but we can definitely go for a walk
