How old : Is your baby? What have you done yourself? How many people are involved in the care of your baby?Are you preparing formula correctly? Oftentimes parents increase volume without adding milk in proportion to water making it more dilute, baby is starving , hence crying and won't sleep, constantly eating and not gaining weight.Formula fed or breast fed? I'd like to help, need more info. Tnx.

Allow him to learn: To self-regulate, if you missed the optimal period for this, 1-4 mos., baby may have to "unlearn" bad habits. Have a consistent bedtime & routine including reading, soothing, cleaning out mouth after the last feed. Put him in his own crib drowsy, but awake. If you're tempted to go in when he protests or night wakes, see tips on extinguishing these behaviors in a graded way at aap.Org.
