sleep vent.....idea's???

So my LO is now 5 months. Since she turned 4 months we have definitely been going through sleep regression, but this last week has been so much worse. I feel like I am going to fall over from exhaustion!!! When she wakes up at night she is now up for like 2 hrs. I can handle the feeding, but I can't handle being up for hours. If I just put her in her crib I'm afraid she will wake up my son and husband (who works 12 hrs a day). She also has reflux so I don't want her to puke all over herself from rolling around.

 

Anyone going through or already went through have any idea's??? The only thing I can come up with is to shortening her naps so she is super tired. She usually took like 2 cat naps in the morning and a couple hours in the afternoon.

    Overtired makes it way worse!!! Sometimes I find the more they sleep the better during the day.  Try and put them to bed earlier before they are fussy and tired is my only suggestion.

    She goes to bed at like 6:30 maybe 6:45 the latest because she can't handle any later.

    For us, M naturally started refusing to nap past about 2:30 or 3:30 and that has helped her sleep a lot better at night. I was a big believer of sleep begets sleep but she went from only doing 3 hour stretches to now a 7 hour stretch to start and falling back to sleep more quickly after she cut out her already very brief afternoon nap. She now is only napping 1.5 hours a day, total. Crazy.... But seems to be working for her, and now almost 12 at night.
