Any advice with getting a almost 5 month old to sleep longer than 2-3 hours a night? I'm so wore out. He was doing good and would sleep 5 hour stretches, which was great, but for the last 3 weeks he gets up every 2-3 hours to eat. He eats 4 oz of formula. I've tried uping it to 5 oz and he gets sick. We have a bedtime routine bath, lotion, warm bottle, no noise and lights off. Nothing works. I've tried all the advice my doctor says, books, and this kid just does not sleep. legit I only get about 4 hours a day total. Nap when the baby sleeps doesn't work because he doesn't nap but 15 minute stretches during the day and it takes me like an hour to fall asleep after laying down.

He's probably going through sleep regression. My daughter hit it at the same age. Luckily it only lasted about two weeks for us. I was exhausted. We ended up putting her in bed with me, and my husband slept in the guest room. I hate the idea of co-sleeping, but it was the only thing that worked for us for those two weeks.

Do you swaddle him?

I'll give it a try so I can hopefully get some sleep. I'll have to look up sleep regression. Everything is so new to me. Thank you! @jennatess

No, he hasn't been swaddled since 2 months old. He freaks out about it now for some reason :( @mimiz

I put cereal in my daughters bottle before bed and she stays fuller, longer and that helps her with sleeping too.

My son is 6 1/2 months and we have the same sleep issue...maybe teething? @decemberbaby

It's exhausting and we too have a routine and all that good stuff, I've just come to the conclusion that he will (hopefully) grow out of it

He has been teething here lately. It is rather exhausting. Definitely ready for him to sleep at least 5 hours again. I may need to invest in a coffee maker! @arielannette
