Some babies have such a strong natural drive to master skills, that they don’t take the time to sleep until they are successful. You see this behavior already at a rather young age. These babies allow themselves no sleep before they have reached their goal. It demands much of them, and of you. That is a personal quality that can be very useful later in life, but at this young age these children must sometimes be protected from themselves. Put the emphasis on trying something. Praise him for his efforts, regardless of the outcome. That way you distract your baby. If you find that it really requires too much from him, take a break. Get him out of that challenging environment for a while and do something calmer with him. Like reading a book.
