My baby won't sleep

Posted by Marie on April 09, 2003 at 18:17:11:

My little baby boy is 5 and a half months old and I just can't seem to get him to sleep well either in the day or night. His daytime naps are never ever longer than 25-30 minutes (very rarely, like maybe once in a month he will nap for 1 hour). At night too, he wakes up twice or sometimes even thrice. He takes 4 naps during the day. By about 6 in the evening he gets very tired and irritable. I try to put him to bed at 7.30 or so and he falls asleep but will keep turning and tossing and trying to wake many times. I have to keep going back to put him to sleep. This is very stressful for me because it gives me very little time to do anything else. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting him to sleep better?
