Hello. Welcome to HCM. As a Sleep Baby Consultant and also a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist i would say that this has nothing to do with worms in the stomach. The sleep disturbance in babies are very often due to behavioral manners than a medical condition manner. He uses a prop/association to sleep. He needs to sleep independent and able to soothe himself. Just keep a good bedtime routine. At this age he need only 1 nap a day and a 12 hours stretch sleep at night without any waking. If you are breastfeeding him make the nursing the first thing that starts the routine and not the last. If you have again difficulty contact me and we can do a sleep training for your baby.
