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. He doesn't like to take naps during the day, and if he does lay down it's for maybe 30 min. at most. Bedtime usually comes between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m., and he normally wakes again during the night between 4-6 a.m. From month 1 to month 2, he was an incredible sleeper sleeping 9 + hours straight through. Now, I'm lucky to get that at all. Is it normal for 4.5 month old babies to have such an unhealthy sleep pattern? ...

Our 4 month old twins are doing great at sleeping, often through the night (7:30 to 7 or so), occasionally getting up once (at 3 or 4 am). They've been doing this for several weeks. But now they're getting up a bit more, because they are breaking out of their swaddles. We use the Kiddopotamus with velcro. They're getting too big for the size small, but the larges we bought seem too big (they also break out). Yet without the swaddles, I don't think they'll make it more than a couple hours ... I know we need to transition, likely from...
