Lots of suggestions!
I was noticing that the baby does sleep when you bounce on a ball in your arms. My DD was the same way. So, for sake of sanity, I bought an Amby bed, which is a bassinet on a spring, and it's like a bouncing hammock bed. We put it next to our bed and we just bounced her to sleep, and it works like if they start moving, they bounce themselves back to sleep. Or, you can just reach over and bounce for a while while laying in bed yourself... It sure worked for us. Our baby has a hard time falling to sleep on still surfaces. This bed worked wonders...But I do try to make her nap on our bed, so it is not foreign to her in the future... good luck!

I didn't read that you said the babe would only sleep on the ball. My 5 yr old (w/the aforementioned leaky gut from hell) would only do that. We would bounce him for hours to get him to bed and sometimes in the middle of the night. Well, I totally forgot that we had to do that, so at least in couple of years you will forget this whole thing

I'm so glad you posted on the Healing the Gut thread. I'm so jealous that you have this information now, vs when my son was 4. I could have changed his diet so much and caused him less suffering :
