How can I make my baby sleep at regular time at night?

My baby boy is 8 months old. He is not sleeping early at night, he's always awake and playing. He starts to sleep by 4 or 5 am. How can I make him sleep at night?

1. change his nap times first so he'll be tired earlier. slowly put him to bed earlier and earlier until hes asleep when you want him to be. At 8 months he should be going down at atleast 8 pm. 4-5 is crazy and not healthy for you or him.
2. If he goes to bed at 5 then only let him sleep a short while, wake him up and play with him so by that night he will be tired and want to go to bed at a normal time then he will get on a routine about it.
3. Well, in my experience of only having one kid who started sleeping through the night at 3 months, the one thing that i made sure of was that i kept my baby on a schedule. usually at night we'd give him a bottle, then bath, then another bottle where he'd usually fall asleep.
4. The best thing you can do is have a routine for him. Have him in bed at the same time everynight, whether he's tired or not. Create a nightly bedtime routine. Things like bath, storytime, singing, rocking, whatever. Also, you could maybe give him a little bigger bottle at night, and lessen his naptimes.
5. Hey, I understand your frustration. I used to have the same problem as you. Sometimes my child won't sleep the whole day and would cry on and on! This website will help you: http://doiop.com/BabySleepSolution I downloaded the audio tutorial teaching me how to have my toddler and baby sleep well. It worked! My child slept like a log all the way and I don't even need to worry about him anymore! I really recommend you to get it! It was featured in parenting magazines too!
