4.5 months and this kid will NOT go to sleep after the last bottle at night. Has had a lot of stomach problems so hard to just dump him in the crib and let him cry, he's actually embarrassingly still in the rock n play.

He naps just fine during the day and goes right to sleep. At night it's just not the case. Very often over an hour of walking, legs kicking and keeps burying head back and forth.

Anyone have experience with this? We may snap soon

Baby wise. Our six month old sleeps from 7pm to 6am and has done so for the last three months. The wife did baby wise for both of ours and it works.

Cry it out. You'll hate yourself for a week and then wonder what to do with all the new sleep you're getting.

Whiskey always helps me

If that doesn't work, take it back to the baby store. Try to exchange it.

Put baby on a schedule. Make sure it is real hungry before that last bottle. Also try the merlin sleep suit.

Stomach issues?

Have you tried soy formula? Expensive but it helped my nephew when he had acid reflux.

Sounds to me like you are forcing a bed time before the kid is ready/ tired.

Every kid is different. I can almost
Guarantee there is not a mother with 3 kids that had them all sleep great. 1 or two sleeping great is one thing, but more than two is very rare.

Keep the kid on a schedule as much as possible, and try to get the kid to nap earlier.

A little nip of whiskey for baby. A few shots of whiskey for mom and dad.

you can drop your baby off at any fire department and not be charged. Then you can sleep for days and save a ton of money in the process

I appreciate all of the serious responses. He is on a very strict schedule. Just can't get him in the crib and he takes forever to go to sleep only at night.

The forcing a bed time thought is a good point, may try to reevaluate that

The wife and I were where you are with our first kid. Finally let him cry it out checking in on him periodically (I believe using Baby wise schedule). 1st night he cried for an 1hr 15m. 2nd 45 m. 3rd night 5 min. 4th and on just a few whimpers then off to sleep.

Disclaimer when they get sick then u might need to start process over.
