When my son was just a few weeks old, he used to be so fussy all night. He would whine and cry and I started to put him on my chest facing up with me on the couch laying down too. It would take him a few minutes but everytime he woke up I would rock him a little and bamm, back to sleep for both of us....it was the only thing that kept me sane!!! LOL.
At about 2months he started sleeping much much better! Hang in there...
