So I know about the 4 month wakefulness, but my DD is almost 5 months and the last few days has been struggling with her nap schedule. I know her schedule is going to change, but the problem is that she has been waking up after only 15 minutes of sleep and then cries because she wants to be held. It doesn't matter if she goes down in her swing, crib, car seat, in the car, or even in my arms ( which is about the only place she sleeps for more than a few minutes), she still is sleeping for a few minutes. She went to sleep very early last night and sttn but woke up very upset, and is not napping well today with grandma. Is this just a change in that 4 month wakefulness and it's changing to nap time rather than evening? I feel bad for my DD because she's not usually so fussy, she's not drooling or teething, may have a mild increase in her temp, but nothing to warrant concern, she's not constipated, she has wet diapers, no rash, I feel like I have removed all other possibilities. She is just crying a lot and almost inconsolable, it just breaks my heart. Anyone else struggling with this? I just feel a bit alone right now, and DH can't help because he works out of town for 2-3 weeks at a time.

Re: Fussiness
I am not making any changes, basically just letting her call the shots. If she sleeps better in my arms for now, so be it, at least she is sleeping. All the house work will still be there when she settles back down. I just feel bad for her not resting right, I am hoping it is just a growth spurt...
Ditto this exactly.
There's a lot going on with them right now. Everything just kind of comes together to really upset their world and it manifests itself in crappy sleep and fussiness. It will pass.
