He used to love his crib, and I got him to a point where i could lay him down when he was sleepy, but still awake... and he'd go to sleep just fine. Well, the past couple of weeks, he now has to be held to sleep, and sometimes we'll take him up and lay him down, and as soon as we lay him down, he arches his back and cries. Tonight scared me though because I let him cry for 15 min. went to check on him, kissed him, told him firmly it was ni nite time, and laid him back down. Well, when I got to the bottom of the stairs, I heard a thud... he had fallen out of his crib! I don't know what to do now! (the floor is carpeted, and nothing where he would fall)... I added a bunch of pillows, rocked him to sleep, put him down, in 2 seconds he was up crying... let him cry a little more- not too long, and he fell out again. Now what should I do? I really am not a believer in the cry-it -out, but rocking him to sleep is not doing it either. I'm crying myself right now, I want him to be safe.
