bedtime

We have been doing a bedtime schedule with DS for quite a few weeks.  At first it was working great and he would go in his crib with no fuss.  He may not fall asleep right away, but he wouldn't cry and eventually would fall asleep.  Now, he is fighting it.  He doesn't want to be put down AT ALL. He doesn't even want you to sit and snuggle and rock him.  He only wants to be in your arms while you're standing or walking around.  He screams if we try to sit down or put him in his crib.  Any idea what is going on?? Is this the 3 mo. growth spurt??

Maybe. We're going through a very similar situation. Now, we just ended swaddling, so I've been assuming that is the case. But it sounds very similar to your situation, so maybe it's just the age.

When ds did this, we put what we call a "soother" in his crib.  I think we had a leap frog one?  But it played music and lit up.  It was this one:

 We got it for $1 at a rummage sale-best dollar we've spent.  He would look at it and it would calm him (now, he wouldn't always fall asleep, but it really helped us!)
