My BB also can't sleep well during his first 2 months. at that time, we hold him until he sleep deeply & then place him back to bed. But at once, he'll cry out. Later, we make some change.. put him in bed when you feel he's tired & train him to go sleeping by himself.. at first it's a harsh time again, but he can do so now.

I had the same experience as yours, but after I tried that method, in two weeks,when my son was only 5 weeks old,he changed thoroughly the sleeping habits as our normal sleeping time.
The method is, at first, you have to set a fixed time for the kid to get up every morning. For example, 7:00 am. This timing is for you to wake him up every morning at the same time, and give him the first feeding for a new day. Then, what you need to do is to follow a regular schedule for feeding in the day time, for example, every 3 or 4 hours (you should strictly follow the schedule, even though the baby is sleeping, or does not want to drink the milk,you still need to wake him up and give him milk , the quantity he drinks is not important because it is very easy for them to get used to this habit, soon they will eat more.)
Then, once stepping into the night, for example, 12:00 midnight, you can stop giving him the milk and let him sleep. At the beginning week, the babies usually ask for the midnight milk, you may give him if he asks, but if not, you just let him sleep until your set time (7:00 am). Remember you need to wake him up and give him milk at the same time every morning. In around two weeks, the babies can already establish the normal sleeping habit and do not ask for the midnight milk. Very effective method, as it has been experimented by many parents, from many countries. Hope this passage can help the new born baby parents!
