i put him down!! lol! he wont fall asleep other than ON me.
when E does this (which is not all the time but it is more so during the day than at night), i do everything i can. sometimes, as i said below (or above, depending on your view. lol!), i will put him down and he's happy if i turn the mobile on. however, when he gets wild crazy crying and doesnt want to be put down, i will sit up in bed (with a million pillows behind me) and bounce him up and down..i usually sit indian style and put his feet by my feet and hold him tightly and make the "shhh" sound OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER (for about 1000 times more than that). that calms him down sometimes.
dh keeps asking me whats wrong with me. how the heck should i know? maybe its his teeth, maybe its gas (i do stop sometime in teh middle of trying to calm him sometimes and do the bicycle thing with his legs in case its just gas). sometimes i also give him teh Gripe Water.
maybe its just being a baby. i read a story once on here about a mother who really felt like her baby was crying b/c of her tramatic birth experience and just needed to CIO (in arms). i don't know..maybe thats it...we did have a pretty tramatic birht experience..its was over 30 somethign hours with a few hours of pushing, so im sure he wasn't the most comfortable baby who ever came into this world..but other than what i already do, theres not much i can do about that. its not like therapy will help at this point, kwim!
all i keep thinking is that "this too shall pass". i have to say that alot sometimes.
