Sleeping at night

Question for all you experienced mamas. My LO was sleeping for 24 hour stretches in either the crib or bassinet when being swaddled. Though I'm up every 2 hours for either him or to pump, I felt like we were getting closer to a schedule. Today he is 4 weeks old. Now the past few days LO will not sleep in his crib, bassinet, or when swaddled. He screams as soon as he wakes up and realizes he's swaddled after about 5 mins max and only lasts a few minutes in he crib or bassinet. The only place he will sleep and not wake is in my arms, and its still been only over an hour. Any suggestions for getting him back into the crib or bassinet? Could this be a growth spurt?

Re: Sleeping at night
Eloise will have a couple stretches like that where she'll be sleeping great, last night she only woke up 2 times during the night but sometimes we'll have never ending nights where she only wants to be in my arms. Those nights if I keep feeding her at some point she'll usually end up practically passing out from being full & tired but they're long nights! Everyone keeps reminding me it won't last long but sometimes it feels like I'll never sleep again!
My Blog: Sewing, crafting, motherhood, computers, and random musings... Sleep is for the weak
Have you tried not swaddling him? DS(1) hated being swaddled and would not sleep that way; this time with DD we haven't swaddled her yet, we use a sleep sack
Maybe your LO doesn't like having his arms restrained.. Idk, is just an idea
