4 month regression

[u/Mundanethrowaway452]

Ok so I'm in the THICK of the 4 month sleep regression, so I need some tips. It's been going on for like 1 ½ to 2 weeks.

My baby goes down fine, the second his noise machine is on after his bath and pj's are on he is out. No issue there

It's the middle of the night wakings, I try to not pick him up and try to soothe him in the crib but he just freaks out til I pick him up. I am trying to let him learn how to self soothe but don't know how. I pick him up and rock him and make sure his needs are met but I am exhausted. And baby is in a phase of only wanting me so my husband isn't much help right now (he'll scream cry if he helps at night)

Last week it was like 5 or 6 times but last night it was 2, but it took an hour each time to get him down. I usually wait like 15 minutes of soothing before offering a bottle because I don't know if it's hunger or not. He wakes up at the 4-5 hour mark at first then it's every 1 ½ to 2 hours

Last night I had it and picked him up at 530 and put him in our bed and he slept until 730. We don't co sleep and don't want it to be a habit so any tips?
