So I think it just comes down to his maturity and he will decide to lengthen his sleep sessions when he is ready. We upgraded our swaddlers to a larger size as he has out grown the small size ones and it seems they still help him to sleep.
He really likes his swing now and will take naps during the day in it.
In the last week we have noticed that he is able to bear weight on his legs for much longer periods of time. Here Daddy and William are practicing while looking out the window (sorry its a bit dark, should have used the flash).

Erin, one thing I tired with Noah (he still wears them) is overnight diapers by huggies! We use pampers during the day, but the overnight huggies are a god sent. Try those if you want. Just a suggestion! good luck! He is adorable!
Too bad the formula didn't work. I'm sure Will's tummy just needs to get a little bigger and then he will be sleeping like a champ. It's frustrating but just think, the more he gets up, the more he wants to spend time with you! :)
Oh man, I am fresh out of suggestions! I agree, his little tummy probably just needs to get bigger so he can hold more and last longer. But the great thing is that he is gaining weight and growing, and that is really the important thing.
4-5 hours sound normal for his age.. I know it's rough, but it will get better. Until then try to think of it as more time you get to cuddle with him! That's how I try to look at it with Alizah. Sometimes, I hope she gets up because I miss her. But then again, I work 2nd shift. Alizah is 4 months now and had upgraded to about 6 hours at night, will wake up and eat a bit, then go back down for 3 hours. Sometimes, if we're lucky (and we were 2 nights in a row this week) she will go down for 8 hours and then go back to sleep for 3. It does get better. Good luck! And ps- he is absolutely beautiful!!! Totally worth the wait, hey!
