Hello,
This is my first posting. I've read a lot of the articles on sleeping, but can't find anything on my particular problem. My son is now almost 3 months old. I have been using the EASY program with him for 4 weeks now. I have been consistent and persistant about putting him to sleep awake. I wait for the cues (yawning, etc.), do a winddown routine and then place him in the crib. One out of ten times he'll fall asleep without much fuss. Most of the time though he fusses to the point where he makes himself cry and then I come in and pat shush him until he is on the brink of sleep. Then I leave and he'll usually fall asleep. Half of the time this still takes me up to an hour. I do the same routine with all of his naps and his bedtime. I have been watching the Baby Whisperer show and have read the book. It seems that when Tracy helps the babies on the show, it never takes more than 4 days to get them in a sleep routine. I desperately need help. It has come to the point where I wonder if I should just allow him to fall asleep in my arms. He obviously does not like to go to sleep and sometimes he gets so upset that he is screaming as loud as he possibly can. It just doesn't seem right when I hear him cry so strongly.
Please give me any information that will help me teach him to fall asleep.
