Our baby is about 4 months old now, and he's starting to have some serious issues with separation anxiety. My wife feeds him and holds him until it's time for her to go to bed and then she gives him to me to take care of. I have so much trouble getting him to go to sleep! I'll hold him, rock him, change him, feed him, read to him, walk around with him, put him in front of the TV, do everything I can think of, and he's fine through all that. But as soon as I put him in his crib and walk away, he blows up! He cries so hard that he turns red and gets tears in his eyes. Then when I come pick him up, he's fine again. So then I'm back to holding him, rocking him, etc.. then when I think he's calmed down enough to go to sleep, I put him back in his crib and "WAAAAAAA!!!!!" he blows up again. This sort of thing goes on for literally hours almost every night. He keeps rubbing his eyes, so I know he's tired, but he just refuses to be put down. What should I do?
