Very Funny Kristin K! lol--I would suggest putting him to bed and letting letting him cry it out. I had to do that with my son. It was hard at first but he went right to sleep. Just remember that the older he gets and the more you are with him and falling asleep with him, the harder it will be for him to let go and fall asleep on his own. Dont be surprised if he cries for hours and hours (I think my son cried for almost 4 hours the first time). Be strong and God Bless
PS..its not going to hurt a baby to cry it out. My thought was at least I know he's alive in there..Ive never heard of a teen/grown adult going up to their parents saying man, I remember when you left me in my crib until I fell asleep...It's not going to hurt them. They just want the attention. I'm not saying dont give attention, just when your supposed to. A child needs a schedule..if they whine and cry in the store that still doesnt mean they get the toy right? Same thing!
