Multiple Wakenings

Hello fellow moms.

My 2 year old (28 mths) has been having some sleep issues lately. He cosleeps between SO and me. He will wake up multiple times throughout the night where he will whine, I say whine instead of cry cause it sounds a bit different than normal crying, and will keep wiggling and flipping till he finally falls back to sleep. No signs of nightmares etc. i know its not uncommon for toddlers to wake up here and there. He has always kinda done this but maybe like once a night toward morning time. Now its like 5-10 times a night and it takes him much longer to fall back to sleep. It wouldnt be much of a deal but SO just started a new job where he wakes early and hes a grumpy sleeper when he gets woken. We also have a 2 mth old baby and He wakes her up almost everytime and its usually after I just got her to sleep. Its just getting very tiring. I am going to try and start transitioning him from cosleeping hopefully soon, if i have any luck. Till then, I need to figure something out. He hasnt even been asleep for over an hour yet tonight and has already woken twice which included wakening his dad and the baby. I know it has nothing to do with baby because its only gotten worse this past week or two and he is great with her. Is this multiple wakening normal? Any ideas why he is doing it? TIA
