help, my baby is 5 and a half months old and he wakes up a few times in the night. I cant handle is anymore! he also doesnt have a daytime schedule really I have tryed to put him in one but its very vague. I have fed him as much as I can befor bed and given him a jar of baby food so he is really full but he still wakes up a couple times.
I dont put him to bed too early because he usually falls asleep himself.
any suggestions??

It is very very normal for a five month old to wake up a few times in middle of the night. Your baby can be hungry at night until ten months and therefore many people do not let thier babies cry it out until then. yes its hard not sleeping, I know what u mean..... thats life with a baby!

oh sorry im the amother above I meant to give a suggestion... u can try putting him to sleep in the same place every day right when he starts looking tired. babies get tired every 3 to four hours. being home in his crib is helful. when mothers are out at thier nap times its harder to put babies on a schedule.... also at night its good to put them in thier cribs and start the night rutine at the same time each night. baths before can help.

I try not to make too quiet and leave lights on during daytime naps, so the baby gets the concept that a dark, quiet atmosphere means night sleep.
