5-month sleep regression — anyone else dealing with this?

My LO was sleeping 6-7 hour stretches and suddenly waking every 90 mins. Tried earlier bedtime, extra wake windows, dark room — nothing sticks. Pediatrician says it's the 4-month-ish regression catching up late. How long did this last for your babies? I'm running on fumes.

Lasted ~3 weeks for us at 5 months. The thing that finally helped was dropping the third nap entirely — she started sleeping longer at night within 4-5 days. Hang in there, this one really does pass.
