Same just consistent screaming. It started a month ago when he turned 4 months and a month later no relief.

I normally lay down(havibg my arms around them) with my 1.5 year old and my 5 month old and just watch their show with them till they fall asleep

@Tay girl tell me about I never cried so much due to lack.of sleep I even found myself randomly waking up without knowing I feel asleep

Have you tried using a carrier? I either walk in circles or bounce on an exercise ball to get my LO to fall asleep. Using a carrier can help with back pain and free your hands

@Caroline Def worth a try

@Victoria Aguilar I wouldn't mind cartoons but he will stay up so late due to me being a college student i can't sadly

Maybe rock him in a stroller at home

In my culture ( Indonesia) we tie a long cloth into a hammock and rock the baby in it. I used to tie a hammock onto the crib and rock my baby. Make sure it’s secure the knots when tying it to the crib

Or rock him in a baby carrier for a few mins. And transfer him to a bed after like 10-15 mins. Make sure your chest is still touching his chest when you put him on the bed. And make shush noises to unbuckle the baby carrier
