Q. My baby sleeps all day, doesn’t feed much and when I try to keep him awake he starts crying very loudly. At night it’s very difficult for him to settle, he feels sleepy but keeps on crying every few minutes. Also he doesn’t sleep on back, he only sleeps on my shoulder at night and when I try to put him down or in the swing, he starts crying. During day he would sleep anywhere.
