Do not give him chamomile tea. A lot of people are allergic to chamomile and your baby's system might be too young to handle it. Try giving him a warm bath, rub him with that Johnson bed-time lotion. and put him to bed with soothing music playing. Make sure you aren't going in and picking him up when he wakes up or stays awake, that will teach him that not sleeping gets him lots of attention. Find a CD of soothing music to play for him. And make sure he has "down-time" before you start getting him ready for bed, just a time to relax together with you.

Try mixing his food with the dry ceral or oatmeal for babies. He will get full and sleep through the night. Making the food thicker helps alot. That is what I did with my babies. I started adding the ceral just a little to his formula when he was 2 months old. It was still very runny but the little of cereal really filled him up. Slept all night.

We probably need a few more details...but try a consistent bedtime routine (bath, bottle, bed). Is he teething? Try Hyland Teething Tablets or Orajel, and maybe some Motrin to ease the pain. Is he learning a new skill? Sometimes when they learn a new skill they will have trouble sleeping because they want to stay up and practice it. My son has just learned to roll over consistently and he is constantly waking up and rolling over and grunting and so forth...

If he's getting teeth write his name on an egg put it where it won't get broke .It sounds crazy ,but it works no more prob.Also try bathing him inwarm water ,wrap him in a soft blanket turn down the lights w/soft music or sing in a low voice .Rub the area between his eyes or his temples very lightly while rocking .If none of this works you got a problem .CALL UR DOC!! good luck.....

Try laying down with him until he falls asleep. That usually helps comfort them. But i'm assuming he's in a crib so I don't know how you'd do that, maybe try laying on the floor or something so he can see you, and he'll know he doesn't need to get up because you're right there.

I had to let my daughter cry it out. Now (16 months) she sleeps all night long without a peep.

Try bathing him/ or her before sleep. and putting classical music on as you rock them to sleep.

Might be heartburn. Have you tried a wedge in his bed? They are made just for the crib.
