(((hugs))) are you sure his reflux is under control and he's not drinking for comfort? If they've got burning pain from acid drinking milk can help soothe it. So that's the first question, nothing's going to improve if he's uncomfortable.

Does he go to sleep independently for naps and at bedtime? It looks like he's having bottles right before his big naps, does he need a bottle to be able to go to sleep?

Does he have a bottle right before though? I mean is ihe always going to sleep with his tummy right full of milk? I wonder if he needs that full tummy feeling to get drowsy. If that's not the issue, I'd start settling him without feeding if it's been less than 4 hours since his last feed.

At 5 months you would be looking at feeds approx 4hrs apart and an A time about 2.25hrs.
