Leap 5 or sleep devil?

My DS is 5 1/2 months old and according to wonder weeks is in leap 5

just before Christmas we sleep trained him, no crying just responsive settling and he slept like a dream in his own room. Since Christmas Day he has been pooing multiple times a night and just not settled at all after about 11. We’ve not changed anything in his routine and he’s formula fed.

were now back to co sleeping but I feel like all of our hard work is being undone and as much as I love the cuddles I need my sleep back!!!

current naps are 9-9.30, 12.30-2 and 4-4.30.

has anyone experienced similar?

I wouldn't get fixated on "leap 5" whatever that is - your baby hasn't read the book/got the app. He's just doing his own baby thing!

What happens when he wakes - are you offering him a feed?

well we haven’t fed him in the night since about 10 weeks and he’s slept through just fine after a dream feed! We have tried almost everything, feeding him in the night only seems to rouse him more or he will have a poo and then not go back off after it so it’s worse than not after some trial and error
