Baby cannot fall asleep on his own

Kaylah

Anyone have success getting their little one to sleep on their own? Our peanut will not take naps or go to sleep for bed unless someone physically holds him and rocks/pats/bounces him to sleep at least 99% of the way. This is becoming increasingly harder to do and recently its taking over an hour just to get him to sleep and by then he wakes up within 20 min cause its time to eat again. We have tried putting him down and just checking on him but every time you do it works him up again and he goes from whining crying to full on screaming. Any advice would be great, we are exhausted!
