Baby crying and waking up every 30 minutes

My baby seems to wake up every 30 minutes recently at night for the last couple of days leading to fatigue and exhaustion. My baby sleeps in a schnuggle dreami Moses basket in the rocking position.

This led me to rock his basket side to side instead of back and forth a little bit rough for a few seconds in frustration. I am quite calm and had been very patient when my baby had colic. However I am extremely worried about shaken baby syndrome from rocking his basket side to side which could have made his head move. He appears normal in terms of feeding and no vomiting. He is alert and conscious like his normal self. He is 7.5 months old. I'm just sick with worry and paranoia has taken over that something might have happened to him when I shook his crib.

Can anybody help me out?
I'm freaking out with worry 3😭😭

He will be fine but sounds like he is ready to move from Moses basket to got. This might be a challenge if he used to be rocked to sleep but you will both get through.

Shaken baby injuries are a result of very violent shaking.

We all get frustrated when sleep deprived. I remember "plopping" my 8mnth dd in her cot and walking away. I wasn't gentle as normal but I was wasn't rough and neither were you.
