Michelle, I'm an advocate for letting the child cry it out for a few minutes, but I'll try and give you some different advice. I've learned that if you try and put your child to bed when he's a bit drowsy, not asleep or wide eyed, it usually goes a lot better. May I ask why you haven't tried letting him cry? Just wondering.
Good Luck! Stephanie Burton

Hello, I wonder if anyone had any advice or suggestions on how to get a baby to sleep
*not in my or my husbands arms*. Maybe this is impossible, we have been trying everything, EXCEPT letting him cry it out. He is used to being nursed to sleep or bounced by my husband. if we leave the bed or put him down, he wakes up almost immediately. He sleeps really well when we are holding him or sleeping with him. As he gets older (he is 6.5 months now) it is getting harder because he doesn't just fall asleep when he is tired anymore and I have been napping with him and going to bed at like 9pm.
thanks, Michelle
