Help sleep

My five month old is crazy struggling to sleep. He's so busy and just. Can't. Stop. He screams worse if I try to swaddle him but is sleeping horribly. Shouldn't we be done with 4 month wakeful? I have got to get some sleep! I actually got angry last night... We are already co sleeping. I'm not really into sleep training yet and can't let him fuss too much since my 2.5 yo is bed sharing too. Help!

    Unfortunately, in my experience, the four month wakeful isn't a one-week phase. It's when the first big jchange happens. And these aren't temporary pauses so much as "new normal". Babies senses are more developed now, and not ony does he want to explor

    It happened with us as well! It will most likely pass so my suggestion is invite a family member or friend over to watch him so you can get some sleep!

    We never recovered from the 4 month wakeful. DD wakes up every 1-3h. I have adjusted my expectations and don't get angry/ upset anymore.

    I am sure she will sleep someday!

    Thanks ladies. Knowing I'm not alone does help. I'm just going to have to involve DH more again so I can at least start the night with a chunk or something. This too shall pass right?
