Baby waking up 4-5 times a night?!

Ciara

I thought I’d made it through our patch of waking up every two hours when he was 3.5 months old. He’s now 5 months and keeps waking and whimpering and won’t go back to sleep unless he’s being nursed or rocked. Sometimes he won’t nurse and will just continue to cry. I am at my wits end because I’m exhausted all the time. Mama needs her sleep 😢 Obviously his needs come first but I need some tips to get him to sleep more. (I’ve tried every sleep sack/suit/etc there is, nothing makes a difference, so please don’t suggest that, I can’t buy another one)
