My five month old used to be such a fantastic sleeper, but lately she wakes up every few hours crying. I feed her but it doesn't help, she refuses to go back to sleep and just cries when I try to get her to sleep. I have had two hours sleep right now, she's woken up 3 times in the space of maybe 9 hours, and stayed awake for about 2 hours each time. What the hell is going on? I am absolutely dying, i have never been so exhausted in my whole life and I can't stand it anymore. I thought babies were meant to get EASIER as they got older, Aurelia is the exact opposite - she was a perfect newborn and has become more and more difficult as she's grown.

Please help

*literal cries*

Right now she's in my room crying because I have been try to settle her for over 2 hours and I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't believe in CC at all, but I can't deal with her right now.
