5 month old literally climbs me

Hi all, I REALLY don't want to do sleep training, but my baby has suddenly stopped responding to my rocking, singing and shushing and instead is climbing me and burrowing manically every time I try to get him to sleep. I've had to move from breast feeding to combo feeding, which inevitably has meant more formula, but for every bottle there is some boob. I've shush patted him, with him on his tummy and he's frantically tummy timed to exhaustion and sleep - but with no crying (if he cried, I wouldn't do it).

What can I do people? I'm desperate to avoid sleep training! THANK YOU!

Trial and error really until you find something that works, and even then it might not work every time, I'm afraid. DD is 5 months and very difficult to get to sleep sometimes, but always has been really. What kinds of things have you already tried?

Oh also, are you sure they're tired when you try and put them to sleep? Sorry if that's a stupid question but just a thought.
