Why can't I get my baby to sleep?

Question

Nothing I seem to do gets my baby to sleep, he's 8 weeks old and fights like hell to stay awake and then when I finally win the battle to get him to drop off he only seems to stay asleep for twenty minutes at most. This is obviously affecting his mood and mine. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to combat this issue please

Answer

Is he sleeping throughout the day and not the night ? With mine it was a constant battle I hated the new born stage because when in the womb during the day they were always asleep and at night is when there up and active . For me it felt like days and nights were confused by the baby because she would stay wide awake all night and it was a killer
If I could go back I would honestly put him in the swing buckled up beside my bed and let him fall asleep on his own in the dark so you can get some sleep too!
Or just make sure he’d fed  and changed and out him in his bassinet or whatever swaddled and go to bed

Answer

I had the same problem. I have found feeding my baby mostly every 2 hours during the day and doing tummy time during the day has made him more sleepy at night. Mine is 9 weeks old. I still wake up every 3 hours at night/early morning to feed my baby as well.

Answer

Do you swaddle? Give a paci? Rock?
