Not sleeping: There could some reasons for that. Your baby could be colicky.if he draws his knees up to his chest and passes a lot a lot of gas, this is most likely colIc.you might want to try to train your baby of how to sleep at night. Use 5-10-20 minutes rule. Do rush to feed the baby every time he cries. Wait 5 minutes go to his room and calm him down, but don't pick him up. If he calms down, leave the room

Sleep hygiene: For a 2 mo old baby, the best sleep hygiene advice is continuity. Make sure the baby goes to sleep after a good feeding, burping and diaper change, sometimes a bath before bedtime helps them get a bit more sleepy. Quiet and cool sleeping area helps. Reading to them before bedtime, even at this age helps calm them down. Avoid feeding in the middle of the night, avoid noise and interruptions.
