Our 7 month old son, our only son, is in his crib crying because unfortunately he is spoiled. He won't go to sleep unless I am holding him and/or breastfeeding him. As soon as he realizes that he has been put in his crib he has a fit! He'll be totally exhausted but he will fuss and cry until I pick him up and then he passes out in my arms. Now Solo... his name is Solomon but we call him Solo... is really a very laid back kid which is why I was unwittingly able to spoil him. He sits very quietly in my arms and breastfeeds while I homeschool my girls so I don't notice when he has fallen asleep and therein lies the problem. He has gotten used to falling asleep at the breast.
So tonight we've made sure that he is freshly changed and fed. We've laid him down to bed hence we have the crying. I really hate to hear him cry because he rarely does. And when he does, I know that he is either really tired or upset... tonight he is both!
