5.5 month old sleep getting worse

My 5.5 month olds sleep is getting worse. He's gone from 3 wake ups and selfsettling to waking up every 45-60 mins throughout the night and having to be held to sleep. Currently have to hold him to sleep for 20mins before I can put him in his cot otherwise he wakes in less than a minute so getting less than half an hour sleep at a time and I'm exhausted. Any ideas why or how to improve things?

I used to be able to give him a feed, change his nappy then put him down awake and he'd drift off to sleep. Now he screams when I put him in the cot awake. I tried giving him calpol tonight in case something was hurting but that's not made any difference.

Teething? Mine was exactly the same. Self settling, waking up 2-3 times, then teething started and it has all gone to s*… suddenly two teeth appeared which explained a lot, but waiting for it to get back at almost 7 months!

Two teeth appeared two weeks ago but things have gotten worse since then!

I think we’re in the same boat! I’m currently riding it out, hoping it’s a phase 😂
