So I know I have said that Henry is a champion sleeper. And he was... but lately he does not take naps longer than 30-40 mins.
He does put himself to sleep with help of a pacifier, but after that sleep cycle is up, he's up. I'll go in to put his pacifier back in after about 5-10 mins of crying (hoping he'll go back to sleep on his own), but no go, he won't go back to sleep.
Sometimes I'll go in immediately (hoping he's not fully awake) and stick it back in and it doesn't work either.
I can't even rock him back to sleep or if I put him in his swing.
He's still swaddled.
I've even tried to get him to sleep on his stomach, but he doesn't like that either.
I've tried keeping him up longer in between naps (2 hours after a feeding, one hour before next feeding) and I've tried putting him to bed earlier, about a half hour to an hour after he's been fed, two hours before his next feeding. Either way doesn't matter.
He's on a schedule: 7, 10, 1, 4, 7, 9, 4.
This means that he only sleeps about 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours during the day. This cannot be healthy.
Usually only wakes up once a night, sometimes twice.
I couldn't find anything different online than what I've already done. Has this happened to any of your kids? What did you do? What should I do?????

This has happened with both of my kids...I just did what you are doing, and let them cry it out for awhile before getting them up. Eventually, they went back to sleeping for about an hour and a half at a time. It took maybe two weeks? Good luck!! If you've read Babywise they talk about it in there. "45 minute intruder" I think is what they call it.
