Why does my baby scream and shout one night, then sleep through the next night?

I'm sick of constantly guessing what the hell is wrong. I keep wake windows consistent, yet somehow some nights he is literally screaming his head off, yet the night before he fell asleep soundly??? I'm so tired of it. I cannot explain how sick I am of the inconsistencies. Nothing makes sense. I try do it all perfectly, I follow his cues, he seems tired at the right time, he's had his routine, I try putting him to sleep and he just will not! Then whenever he does fall asleep, which could be over an hour or two later, he will wake up screaming again within 15 minutes. I'm losing the will to live. Some nights he goes to sleep at half 7, sleeps through the night without a peep and I'm like howwwww???? I haven't changed anything????? 😬😮‍💨

Does it tend to be one bad night one good night and then on repeat. Maybe he’s sleeping better the night after a bad night because he’s more tired. I would probably cut down his day sleep a bit and see if it helps? X

@Hollie his daytime naps are always the same, he sleeps great during the day. But for example, he's just had 3 amazing nights in a row, going to sleep at half 7 with no issues and sleeping through, but tonight he just went absolutely nuts, wouldn't settle, was babbling and laughing but as soon as I try putting him to bed he's crying. I'm so confused 🥲

Teething has a massive effect on my girls sleep, could that be a factor? How many hours sleep does he have in the day?
