Thank you!!

Hi Dr. Karp. My son was a very fussy infant when trying to get him to sleep. The only way to get him to sleep was lying someone, until I found a swing he liked and we could get him to sleep in there for 4-5 hours sometimes. Then, he turned four months and he generally stopped sleeping for those long stretches. He will now only sleep in 2 hour intervals in the swing and 45mins in the crib. His naps are only 30 mins in length and he naps roughly every hour. I would like him to sleep in the crib and have proper naps in there, but tends to cry and make a fuss when put in the crib. For example, when putting him in the crib for the night we have to repeatedly pick up and put down to soothe him for about an hour, some times longer. What would you recommend to get him sleeping in the crib for lengthy stretches of time?
