Does he sleep alot during the day?

Even though he is tired try keep up longer during the day. You can do it alittle but more each day and might be able to shift his sleep pattern

Oh my goodness it sounds like you have tried everything... Do u have a swing for him my daughter loves her to help her fall asleep. our daughter is going to be one month tom and I knew to start getting her into some schedule right away so we usually try and play with her I talk to her read to her we let her look at different things so it just keeps her up for couple of hrs bf bed time and we do that throughout that day as well. We make regular noises throughout the day and have lights and then when its night we they stay quite and don't interact too much with her and now her body knows difference between day and night she only wakes up once to eat at night either around 1am or 6am we just change her, feed her, burp her, and then rap her up and put her to bed no problem. Sometimes she will wake up to eat both of those times but shes gone a few nights now without waking up at all. They just need routine bc their little bodies learn fast. So just try keep him more awake during the day so his tired for bed and slowly it should get him out of that routine and into a new one. It took me two weeks but I noticed the difference within few days. Good luck!

Sounds like growth spurts... Here's a good article

These are the time periods, during the first year when you normally can expect, that your baby will enter an infant growth spurt and be having growing experiences:

The first 7-10 days after birth

After 3 weeks

After 6 weeks

After 3 months

After 6 months

After 9 months

These baby growth spurts can be stressful for mom, if she isn't aware or prepared.

If a mom doesn't know what to do, it can also be very stressful for the baby, which may hamper his development.

This information will be helpful, for both of you, when it happens.

However, the baby is not only going through a physical growth spurt.

He is also having a psychological, emotional spurt, and they are both vital to his future health and development.
