HELP NEEDED! Sleep for a 4.5 month old

Dear Friends,

My baby 4.5 months old, sleep schedule is kind of below:

Morning nap - 9:30 to 11:30
Afternoon nap - 2:00pm to about 5:00pm (with crying or need cradling along)
Evening - only maybe take a cat nap from 7:00pm to 8:00pm

then the problem arise, he'll be so fussy at about 9:00pm till 11:00pm, then I must nurse him at about 11:00pm and put him down on his bed at midnight, and then he'll wake up at 5am

I believe he's sleeping too few, I mean the night sleep, I know some babies can sleep from 10pm to 8am, but for sure, that's not my kid. After he wakes up at 5am, he will sleep again from 6:30am to maybe 8:00 am and then the whole routine set in again.

Also he's so fussy before sleeping, must cradle, rock or nurse, until he';s totally asleep, so each time is kind of like 2hours sleep battle.

After reading other board messages, I'm wondering, should I really put him on his bed and let him cry on his own....you know as a mother, is really sometimes hard to listen him crying...

PLS HELP US! Nanny and mother are exhausted already
