2 am and he is raring to go ?

You might want to try keeping him engaged in activities that tire him out a bit. Like toys that dangle in front of him. Also, you play with him moving his limbs and body. Then lastly, start giving him baby massages before putting him to bed at night.

Try to get a night time routine down. Do it exactly the same way every night your baby will get the cue when the routine starts it is bedtime. I had the same problem so I really feel your pain. It really worked like a charm. Also you could try putting him down for bed earlier, sometimes baby can get over-tired and don't sleep (weird huh?) avoid stimulation at bedtime and just keep trying, I promise he will start to have a more sensical sleep sceduele.

If it gets worse and you think your baby has sleep deprivation. Talk to your doctor about it. They can help you pin down a better solution suited to your baby.

Well thats rough! If you are breast feeding him, make sure not to have too much caffine yourself. It can be in a lot of foods (like chocolate) and in a lot of beverages (including teas, and sodas like, orange and others).

Try to get him into a routine at bedtime. Give him a nice warm bath, and a gentle message with the lavender lotion. Feed him and put him down when he is drowsy.

If he is fussy its probably because he IS tired and cant sleep. Babies can't do anything to get their energy out except fuss and cry.

Have you tried the sound of waves or the vaccume? Sometimes they like to be swaddled and have the loud sounds of the womb.

I got pretty lucky with my 2 boys, they are pretty good sleepers. Good luck!

all baby's are different. but when i had trouble with mine i would always give them a bath right before bed time and then feed them a bottle. with a little bit of baby cereal in it to make them more full... and it would last a few hours. but foe him to be this young he still will get up a few times during the night.... just make sure when he sleeps in the day you sleep too. don't worry about house work or any thing, always sleep when he does. try to keep him up as much as you can during the day. play with him give him a bath. put him in front of the TV any thing.... it better to keep him up during the day and then he will sleep better at night. and when he gets up at night don't turn any lights on and be very quite. change his diaper and make a bottle. and put him back to sleep. trust me it will work... just make sure to keep him up as long as you can. i know some times you just get tired and want to sleep to. but if you keep him up he will sleep better at night.....

good luck.....

I think that you just have a very active baby. Some kids just don't require a lot of sleep. But I would tell my Doctor about this and get their opinion.

he is just trying to figure everything out still i would get a good routine going and make sure you stick to it but not to much that you can't make a change some days also he might be teething so you might want to keep that in mind but taking him to the Dr. is not a bad idea

Are you breastfeeding? If so what are you eating? That could be why he doesn't want to sleep. Is he getting enough to eat? Gas? I would talk to the Dr that's the only sure way to find out. Good luck!!

Wow, 6 hours is a lot!! What's going on is that child is lovin' his life!!! YEE HAW!!!!
