Hello, I have a 5 months old baby who doesn't take a nap longer than 20 minutes!!
He was good before 4 months old and his nap time is become shorter and shorter after 4 months!! He doesn't look tired or fuss after his nap, in the opposite, he looks happy when I get close to his crib. I put him to his crib when he has yawn. Sometimes he will fall asleep soon sometimes he doesn't. After about 15 minutes, he shakes his head hardly and he will wake up. It's hard to put him to sleep at night and he can't sleep through the night either. He usually wakes up every 4-5 hours and I have to feed him. I feed him breastmilk only. He slept with my husband and me for one night because he was screaming and we couldn't stop him. He slept very well at that night but we thought it is better for him to sleep in his crib. So we put him back in the next day and he screamed again, I had to sleep with him and my husband had to sleep in the guest room. I found he can sleep through the night if he sleeps in our bed. And he wakes up at night if he sleeps in his crib.
We follow EASY routine when he was 2 months, it was good and now it seems doesn't work since his nap time is too short. I feed him 5-6 times per day and around 10 minutes each time. He is 19 pounds now and starts to learn how to flit over. I don't know whether I should feed him solid food now or later since his pediatrician said we can feed him now and I know it is better to have it after 6 months. Sometimes I am wondering whether he is hungry since he can't sleep through the night. But in the daytime, he looks fine.
Please help!!!
