Baby wakes up every 40 minutes during the night

Hi all

I'm writing this thread because I am desperate! My almost 5 month old boy doesn't sleep anymore. He used to do 3-4 hour stretches at night, woke up just to feed but for a month or so he wakes up every 40 minutes and takes hours to go back to sleep. He doesn't nap anymore, as well... I don't know what to do, tried fixed schedule, more naps during the day, less naps during the day, nothing seems to be working. He looks happy and healthy, I don't know what's the deal with him. Until a few days ago he has been sleeping from bedtime 9 pm to around 11-12 pm and after that time he usually woke up every 40 mins, but now he doesn't sleep from 9 to 12 either. I'm desperate and sleep deprived, I find myself crying in the night, trying to put him down again. I usually bring him in bed with us when he is hard to settle, which used to work but not anymore... Please help, I need some real life advice or info on what this is. I just can't take it anymore, my immune system is going down, during the day I don't have the energy to do anything...My husband and I hit a rough patch because we are both sleep deprived and he is working as well, it's not easy. Please anyone could tell me what's the cause of this and some advice of any kind? 🙏

@Ardnaxelah

The ergo pouch sleeping bags are brilliant for swaddle transition as they allow arms in/out or 1 arm in/1 arm out whilst still being tight like a swaddle

@2155User Thanks for that 🙏 Will have a look.
