HELP NEEDED! Sleep for a 4.5 month old

Wittle Rabbit

Sounds just like my baby, though he is not fussing every day. You didn't say how old baby is. Breastfeeding or formula? Mine is only two months old, being exclusively breastfed and not even close to sleeping through the night. I don't expect him too yet either. I know it's hard not having any sleep, but try to get sleep when you can. When baby naps, you nap. It's surprising how you manage to adapt and exist on scattered hours of sleep.

Awaiting the moment when I get more than two hours of sleep at a time...
 
My baby is 5 months and she will be fussy and not sleep well at night if she has slept too much in the day. My guide is to not have her sleep more than 3.5hrs during the day b4 she goes to bed at 8pm.
 
hi there...forgot to mention , mine is 4.5 months too. Avi,Thanks for the tip, but tried and failed last time.we cant not let him sleep in the day cause he is the type that if he is too sleepy, he will fuss even more. when he wants to sleep, we cant stop him.we have to start patting. him.....sigh.

Try putting to him to sleep on his side. My daughter (20.5 weeks) would not sleep if I put her down on her back and would fuss like your bub. She loves her side and falls alseep soon after I put her down.
Good luck - I know it can be very tough!! I know have a problem with mine that she wakes up every 2 hours at night to feed but I'm working on weaning her off a few of the feeds. It's tough!!
 
we place him sideways actually. but his arms still flail... and he jolt himself up to sleep. then we have to start all over again, rocking him to sleep. the hefty 8 kg. does anyone know how to unteach the baby? i dun believe in letting him cry it out. also i dunno how to place him on the bed letting him settle himself casue he always shouts out to us to carry him... and we end up at 3/ 4 am having to carry / rock him with his pacifier in his mouth and sleep.
