........I am new to the board and in need of help. My 12 month old will not sleep in his crib at night. I am a stay at home mom for 6 months and have TRIED to get this child on a schedule. He still takes his bottle a couple of times a day, usually has a nap during the day but the problem is he will not stay asleep when I put him in his crib. (This is during the day as well). At night he cries until I come into the room and last night I tried to soothe him by patting him gently and he would lay back down. A minute later he is crying again and I go back in and repeat the process from 2-3:45am which he FINALLY went to sleep. We have a bedtime routine, he does not have a lovey, plays well with his 5 year old brother and is otherwise a good baby. Same goes for naps, won't sleep in his crib and wants me to hold him. This is draining for me, as I cannot hold him all the time. He is teething, but has been for awhile. Am I going in the right direction and how long is this going to take? I feel like I am caring for a newborn again for the past month. Thanks...........
