Putting LO BACK to sleep at night

mrsredrox

My son goes to bed easily at 8:30 and will usually either wake up around 2 or 4 to eat which I'm pretty thankful for.

The problem is...once he's up, he's up. I'll quickly feed him, burp him, and then pat his back till he falls into deep sleep but once I put him back into his crib, he wakes up 10 minutes later screaming. I do all this in the dark, leave the white noise machine on all night, and he seems so sleepy after he's finished nursing but once I lay him down, all hell breaks loose.

During the day he'll sleep in his crib just fine. And when we finish his bedtime routine and put him down at 8:30 every night, he's out like a light. So what am I doing wrong? Why won't he go back to sleep? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

TIA!
