getting through sleep regression

Katie
So it's no secret that 4 month sleep regression is enough to drive a person crazy. We've been going through this for about 5 1/2 weeks and I feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. My LO literally woke up 7 times last night. Wasn't even this bad as a newborn. I'm scared that it's going to stay like this. He sleeps in a cosleeper next to our bed and has just recently started side sleeping. I do tend to pick him up when he gets upset at night because he wakes up in an inconsolable fury. 
Did you have to change anything to get your LOs to get through this period or did it just resolve itself? He has 2 more days until the end of his 4th developmental leap and I'm hoping that brings about change but as the days go on I'm growing more hopeless and impatient.
