Calling all Veteran Mommies

Ok, I am really struggling with feeding and sleeping schedules with Joshua. I am going to be posting his daily schedule and ANY suggestions you have - I will take

Today.
5:00am - wake up, fed 6oz , Changed diaper and put right back to bed
9:00am - woke up, fed 6oz, played, tummy time, read
10:30 am - put down for a nap only slept 45min, let chill out on his activities mat
12:00pm - fed 6oz, played, did exercises with him
1:30 pm - put down for a nap slept only 30 mins, let him cry for 20 mins to see if he would go back down - never happened
3:00pm - fed 6oz, did activies for 1 1/2 hours
4:30pm - put down for a nap - again only 45min nap, let him stay in his crib for 15 min - didn't go back to sleep - put him in his swing - acted tired but never fell back asleep. put him on the table in his bouncy seat while i cooked dinner and ate
6:00pm - fed 9oz with cereal in the bottle for last feeding...
(I left for a meeting at 6:30 ) Michael said he started putting him down at 7:15 going through our bedtime routine (read book, turn off lights listen to music, pray, and then lay down)
He put him to bed four times - yikes - poor daddy. He finally went to sleep and stayed asleep at 9pm. Michael had given him Milacon and Tylenol before bed to help him sleep. It didn't help. We'll see how he sleeps tonight but I am hoping that he can sleep the 10 hours he was before this 5am business started.

Seriously....any widsom or advice is totally soliciated!!! I need help.
