My son is almost 15 months. We still give him a bottle before bed and if that doesn’t put him to sleep we rock him and if that doesn’t work we rub his back in the crib. I realize we created this ourselves, but we just couldn’t handle letting him cry it out when he was so little!

For naps, he will cry and fuss and fall asleep within 10 minutes if we leave him alone. But at night he Loses it! He screams and cries and snots everywhere and gets so worked up! We would like to be able to put him down awake, but tired and teach him to go to sleep on his own but we do not know how! Please, any tips or advice are appreciated! And tell me we’re not alone here!?
