Sleep Problems at 4.5 Months?!?!

Hi! I'm L.. I have a 4.5 month old baby boy who doesn't like to sleep. I've been told by our pedi he is a night crier.

Sleep Training HELP!!!!!!!!

Ok, so up until 2 weeks ago, my 5 month old, mow almost 6 moth old, has slept well. All because she was swaddled and would fall asleep during her last bottle at night. She would then sleep all night long from 8pm to about 9am. But about 3 weeks ago she has outgrown swaddling (and actually hated it) and so we cut it cold turkey. Our newest problem is that she will not fall asleep on her own. She will fall asleep being fed, and we have tried the 'Cry it our method' for the passed two weeks and after up to 4 hours of crying, we are EXHAUSTED!!...
