Hi all,
I want ur help and suggestions. My baby boy is 5 months old. he does'nt sleeps during the day time. He wakes up at 7 o'clock in the morning, and he will hv a 10 minutes nap when i will be feeding him. Because of his sleeplessness he will become cranky at evening. He will start crying, and it will be very difficult to soothe him. He ates solid foods 2 times , morning and night. I breast feed him during night and day. I tried a lot of methods to make him sleep, like rocking, singing, massaging, etc. but he won't sleep at all,HHe is a hyper active child. During night time he wokes up thrice(he goes to bed at 10'0 clock)i feed him and some timses he will turn around and will start playing.HE won;t cry during night time. I an staying alone here and i hv to do all household work. End of the day i feel tired. As i stay overseas,I can't keep a maid (which will be costlier)and hv to do all work .
Will somebody help me to solve this problem?Waiting for ur reply

u know while reading ur mgs once i start thinking that do i had send any query like this bcoz it sound just carbon copy of my daughter
she is same like ur child.
let her sleep early in eve when she start cranking and plz dont bother abt sleep todays gen kids dont like to sleep at all Shital replied. D.G,
Even I still do that for my son. (who BTW is 18 months old). I think kids like security of having parents around. I know you may have other things to do while he is sleeping but think about this that if your child doesn't get enough sleep, he/she will be cracky for rest of the day and it also affects their eating and playing. So if you have to sleep next to him, do so. He is only 5 months old. :) Enjoy his and yours sleep time. Both of you will be fresh when you wake up.

Good luck!

My son was same as your 5 month old boy. He would not sleep at all during day time and by evening he was fussy and wouldn't eat anything. At the end We tried Indian cradle for him. And it worked for us. He slept like babies should. When ever he woke up, I would rock the cradle till he falls sleep again. That way he got couple of naps during day time.

Good Luck!

i really feel sad for u. but it's not even healthy for your baby to sleep this less. i'm sure you must have tried a lot of things to put him to sleep. all i can suggest is may be if you can take him out for a walk. or after giving your baby bath - try to make a very peaceful environment and may be you can leave him in his crib. and let him sleep on his own. he might cry for a while, but eventually will sleep. i hope this works for u.
