My daughter is 3 months old, and during most of the day, a perfect angel. She's got her schedule down pretty well, getting hungry at feeding times, going down to naptimes pretty easily at the same time every day. The problem comes at night- after 6 P.M., it's impossible to get her to sleep. When I put her down, she cries hysterically, screaming even, as though she's in pain. If I pick her up, she stops, but refuses to fall asleep and remains awake & active. I have tried sitting with her in her room, using orajel & tylenol for teething pain, nursing her to sleep (she awakens again no more than 15 minutes later), and pretty much every other strategy I can think of. I find no symptoms of ear infection or diaper rash, nor of any other illness. I hate, HATE having to make her "cry it out", as this process easily lasts 30 minutes or more. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you solve it?? Please, help!
