5month sleep help

5 month sleep regression or am I doing something wrong?

My 5.5 month son night time sleep is getting worse and worse. We've started weaning last two weeks and before that he had a bad cold for 2 weeks and since the cold his sleep has been terrible and it's getting worse. We have a good bed time routine, he goes to sleep fairly easier but recently after an hour or two he will wake up, he generally will only go back after some milk ( combo fed).
We do lots of stimulation in day, baby groups twice a week, a walk everyday, he naps 3 times a day maybe 4 for 15-20 mins ( this has been the same for months).
He has recently started to try and crawl, getting into the position lots of hip thrusts but not actually moving forward yet.
Any suggests would be great. I try keep him in his cot till 4 or 5 in morning but I generally give up at this time as I need sleep so we co sleep till 7/8. Please help anyone, 5 hours of broken sleep is getting really hard

Just a couple of questions to see if I might have some ideas:

How often in the night is he waking?

Where is the cot?

What do you do when he wakes up?
