Getting My 2 Month Old Back to Sleep

At two months, I started to help my son into a proper routine where he feeds more and stays awake more during the day and sleeps better at night. There are few things that worked for me:
1. I would interact with him more and not let him sleep after 5-6 pm.
2. Made sure he gets a full feed before he is put to bed. You can give him some formula before he goes to bed to ensure he is full. It also helps the transition to formula easy later on and doesnt hurt at all.
3. Started a night time routine where I would give him a massage, a warm bath, story time/lullabye, put on a soothing CD and then a night feed and put him to bed.
4. When he wakes up an night, I would NOT interact with him AT ALL. No talking, no turning on the light. Just give him the feed and encourage him to go back to sleep. Even if he stays awale for a while, dont talk or interact. He will eventually get it that night time is not play time.

I stuck to this for about 2-3 weeks without very encouraging results but then it all started to work. Soon, he was sleeping through the night waking only once or twice and even then, most of the times, he would go back to sleep while he was woking on his bottle.
All kids are different but I hope this works for you. It is worth a try.

Here's a good article on sleeping issues

Good luck!

to better understand we would need to know how much she is sleeping durring the day. some things that helped me black out shades, night light with only enought light to walk around the room, white noise, good temp in the room, feeding before bedtime. that being said our son did not sleep through till he was one when we used the CIO method which took three days. babys dont sleep! they nap all day and all night. hang in there momma. ohh and i saw at target formula for night time to keep babie fuller longer. never heard of it before nor tried it!

Two months is still pretty young...he will get it. But in the meantime, what helped with my babies is feeding them every 2-3 hours during the day (waking them up if necessary) and letting them sleep as long as they would at night. This seemed to help them get their days and nights straight. Keep the room as dark as possible when feeding. Most importantly, you are not doing anything wrong and this WILL pass, even though in the state of exhaustion you are in, it might not seem like it!

aww it sounds like he just has his days and nights a little different than yours. i slept in a "very comfy" chair for the first several months with almost all of mine (I have 4) until they established their sleep pattern- my daughter would just hang out in her little bouncy seat awake while i slept on the couch after her first wake time in the night. i kept her downstairs with me and slept on the couch so that my husband could sleep since he was the one that went to work. she would just stay awake until her next feed- but i just dozed in and out until she cried and was ready to eat again- then she would go to sleep and sleep the rest of the night. your son will work out his pattern naturally and until then a good swing or vibrating chair is a nice safe place for him to be while awake- he won't do it forever and in the meantime you can get a little shut eye while he is chillin' - if he is crying try using a sling or some sort of thing to hold him in on your body and sleep in a recliner- that also works wonders!!! remember he has been all squished up in your body warm and snuggley with the sound of your breathing- good luck!
