My son is now almost 5 months old & still will NOT sleep longer than 3 hours at a time. He's been on solids for a while & gets a full bowl of rice cereal before bed along with 3 or 4 ounces of formula. Letting him cry is not an option because we have a room mate that works long hours & gets little sleep as it is (not to mention we tried it once & he cried for an hour & a half before we couldn't take it anymore). He's not hungry when he wakes up, he just wants to be held. We try to not pick him up, by just patting his butt & rubbing him & talking to him, but that rarely works & when it does he'll wake up an hour later. We have a night time routine & he falls asleep well, just not long. He gets put in bed anywhere between 10pm-11pm & will only sleep until 1am or 2am at the latest. He wakes up & goes back to sleep & sleeps until 4...the only until 6:30 or 7 & then he's awake for the day at 8am. He takes 20 minutes naps (3) throughout the day & won't sleep longer there either.
