I keep hearing about how I should put my baby down to sleep when he is drowsy, but I can't see this ever working. To get him to sleep requires concerted effort, rocking for ages or feeding him to sleep. Once asleep, he needs to be cuddled for at least 10 minutes during which time he will wake up several times, and then he can usually be put down and stay asleep.
If he is put down awake but tired, he will cry, and get more and more worked up. How do people go from rocking to 'put down drowsy'?
