How To Make Infant Sleep?

My 5 month old's sleeping patterns keep getting worse. This week he has not slept more than 45 minutes and wakes up crying. I've also had to put gloves on his hands because he scratches his face up. He has also been throwing up after most feedings. He is only on formula.

Pediatrician 's  Response
hi! months 5-6 can be a challenge to parents as the child gets more interactive with the environment. so he'll sleep lesser with short naps. this is called sleep regression and is normal in babies. although if he's throwing up after every feed you might want to see a doctor. try having absorbing play time with your baby during the day so she can sleep well at night.
