First you can not expect your baby to sleep more than what there bodys tell them to, unless thay are ill, in pain, or uncomfortable, he/she will only stay awake if he/she does not need to sleep. It will get beter in time, my son started to sleep through the night without a feed around 3months. However all babys are different, the best way to help you and your baby get comfortably to sleep is for you to stay clam and be persistent, they look for you as comfort, go with the flow, but remember it is best for your baby and you in the long run to try and get him to sleep on his own without falling asleep in your arms, it may seem bliss now but it wont later when he is so used to you putting him/her down. Leaving him/her to cry for a bit if you know he/she is just over tyerd will not harm them. Remember take time for you aswell do what you need to do in order to fell relaxed when the times get hard. Good luck. Hi there,

They probably still require feeding every 2-4 hours depending on your child. The best approach to babies this young is to soothe them to sleep through rocking, patting and gentle methods. From experience, children this young often do cry for a purpose, whether it's a wet diaper, poop, hungry (usually the case) or overtired/stimulated. I only did cry-it-out with my second child when she was around 6 months and even then, she wasn't sleeping through the night, but was easier to manage in terms of learning to sleep independently. I would suggest reading the books in my post on understanding babies and sleep before trying anything drastic. They are after all babies and crying is their method of letting us know that something isn't right. Oprah, it’s difficult for babies to sleep through the night at 2 months.
