You’re the Mom, you make the bedtime.. getting into a routine with maybe a bath with lavender soap and lotion can help wind him down then give him a bottle.
@ib.crazyskittles18, you can make a routine, try different things like a bath at the same time every night or a short walk in the stroller. Keep trying things until you find what works for you and your son
You can lead a horse water but you can't make him drink... same with babes and sleeping but you can start "bringing them to the water" everyday at the same time no matter what plan your feedings in the evening and offer him food/bottle/boob whatever even if he isn't complaining of hunger. It will take awhile (did this with my son took 2.5 months) he was constantly up and down very gassy would wake and work himself up if he even fell asleep at all, I used to have to feed him to sleep constantly. But if you keep at it no matter how frustrating eventually you will "train" your child that those times something specific will always happen and he will start to anticipate that and start being hungry, tired etc at those times of his own volition. Some babies like baths before bed some dont (mine doesn't) hope this helps. I stopped sleeping through the night in my last month of pregnancy and last night was the first night I've been given the chance to sleep the whole night in 7 months so believe me I understand. Your baby is still young it will just take time
Yes I agree with the mommies above about creating a routine which will trigger sleep time! I am such a routine crazy person that I had both boys sleeping the night 12 hours straight by 3 months. They sleep 7-7 straight. You are doing great and I hope you get more sleep!!

I can totally relate to this. I was going to bed at 4am at one point

Honestly I understand your pain. My daughter was the same. She is still fighting the sleep. I have tried everything, nothing worked.
