Baby only sleeps an hour at a time

Hi my 4 month old has reflux and colic, and has never been a good sleeper. However since entering the dreaded 4 month sleep regression phase, my baby is only sleeping 40mins to one hour at a time, day and night. We're both exhausted but I just can't seem to break this pattern. We are still trying to get on top of the reflux symptoms and often the cause of the wake up appears to be trapped wind. However I have tried every trick in the book to get rid of the wind before sleep, but inevitably the baby wakes up screaming in pain. It is especially bad at night, where often only breast feeding will seem to help. Also I'm certain my baby is hungry at night as it's so hard to get her to feed properly throughout the day. Any tips on how to break this horrible sleep and eat pattern would be really appreciated.... I'm starting to get really frustrated!

This particular phase lasted about 2 weeks for me and then she was waking 1-2 times a night. It'll pass.
