5 month old waking every two hours

[Crazylou]

My little one is constantly restless and wakes every two hours during the night, he sleeps in a massive crib he goes to sleep around 8pm every night he wears 1.5tog sleep bag with sleepsuit as temperature is always 21-22 in the room, my partner thinks I should put extra covers on him but I don't think you are ment to.? He used to sleep from 8pm until 7am only waking once but since he turned 4 months he's been so restless, he has 2-3 naps during the day. Am new to this any help will be appreciated

It depends what he's waking up for, is he just restless and maybe needs a dummy or patting /rocking to get back off? Or is he waking to feed? Or Is he waking screaming like in pain maybe teething?

He may be too warm. Try swaddling with one arm left out so he can find his thumb if that's what he desires. Four months is the time when sleep regression hits (if you believe in that sort of thing; it definitely happened to us after a previously-sleeping-through cherub ) so it may be a case of ploughing on doing the same things but praying it ends fairly soon (it really does).

I personally think 22 degrees plus a sleep sack is too warm just yet.

My 5 month old ds is exactly the same. He used to sleep so well, would often do 10hrs and now he wakes every 2 hrs and feeds for an hour. I'm self employed so back at work already and am wiped out having to work on 4 hrs of broken sleep.
I think it's partly teething, and also he has a cold so is really snotty and bunged up.

Putting him in a steamy bathroom before bed sometimes help, although tonight we've elevated one end of his cot and he's been asleep since 9.30 and isn't as restless as usual.

Could be a growth spurt too, is he eating more?

Scrap that. What the hell do I know. The little monkey woke up, had a long feed, burped, then threw up the whole feed, screamed a lot, and is currently having another long feed.

They have to sleep at some point though, right?

he occasionally during the night takes a feed, he wakes up kicking his legs up and down then starts sucking at his hands to try get back to sleep he struggled a lot and then becomes wide awake I then need to comfort him back to sleep, he won't take a dummy at night time at all, I decided to transfer him into his cot and he slept from 8pm - 3am woke up as his dad was just home from work, he could see us from cot didn't cry and went back to sleep himself and slept to 7, he's a big boy for 5 months he's in 9-12 months clothes due to his length I think he might've been uncomfy in crib.
