Please help (30-45 minute wakes) at nearly 5 months. No sleep

Hes 20 weeks old

Never slept longer than a 4 hr stretch and thats rare

Fed to sleep, sleeps next to me in a bassinet. Usually 2-3 hr stretch then hourly wakes. Now… this

I tried cosleeping but hes not used to it yet and my body is too tense, completely fucked up my back and shoulder

Im getting desperate

I dont want to sleep train

For naps he started fighting my usual merhod of rocking to sleep, but would fall asleep after minimal fuss of me laying next to him cuddling him. Husband stands and sways with him holding him diagonally to get him to nap, but its hard bc hes heavy

A friend suggested just letting him fuss and cry and comforting him via touch so he gets used to falling asleep in his sleep space but he doesnt give a fuck about that and it feels wrong to me. It feels different to me trying everything and him still crying anyway. Idk if that makes sense

Help
