Answer 1

Getting your baby to sleep through the night isn't a measure of your parental skills.

Expect frequent stirring at night. Babies often wriggle, squirm and twitch in their sleep. They can be noisy, too. Sometimes fussing or crying is simply a sign of settling down. Unless you suspect that your baby is hungry or uncomfortable, it's OK to wait a few minutes to see what happens.

I did attachment parenting, where I had a family bed and the children sleep by my side.

When they were first born, I strapped the crib, with the one side down to my side of the bed. When he would wake I would just roll over and could streach my arm out to the crib area and run his back, and he would fall back to sleep.

Answer 2

give him a bath

feed him and then put him to sleep...........see if that helps
