My LO turned 5 months last week and bedtime (sometimes naps, too) is becoming progressively more of a nightmare each day. We follow the same bedtime routine we have since she was about 8 weeks old. But she now screams inconsolably during “cuddles/rocking” after her bottle. We tried just putting her right in the crib after the bottle and she screamed just the same. Sometimes it takes 2 hours to get her to finally sleep. She calms a little more easily with her Dad then with me, which further breaks my heart that I can’t soothe her.

Can anyone relate, or even better, give advice? I feel like I’m going to have a nervous breakdown from the stress and her insane crying.
