DD was like that until we did Sleep Easy training and she learned how to self soothe. It took a few weeks, but she actually likes and wants to be put in her crib when she's tired. Just make sure you are being consistent every time so your LO knows what to expect from you.
I have no advise. We are in the same boat. Hates sleep! I have gone crazy getting baby books filled with stuff that does not work! I'm still trying to stick w mortified CIO because I have no other ideas. It's so hard! I feel like she should be in a coma from the bath, massage, lavender oil room spray and white noise. But she will be fighting sleep and cry anywhere from 5 mins to 3 hours. picking her up makes it worse. If you ever want to pm me feel free to email me @ amg640@gmail.com
We were in the same boat! I didn't want to do CIO but he will not let you put him down to sleep..it doesn't help that he hates laying down. After about a week and a half though it is sooooo much better. He usually only fusses for about 10 minutes then is knocked out and a couple nights he actually slept all the way through!
Re: CIO
