Answer 6

Running your nails (not hard enough to scratch!) or fingertips very lightly up and down his/her back and neck might help.  Patting consistently (like you are trying to burp them), I also find sooths them.  Along with consistent routine and maybe some relaxing music (classical is best).  Good luck!

We do, bath, pj's, 2 books then, I lay with him until he falls asleep.  He falls alseep pretty fast now that he doesn't take naps anymore.

try  a  warm  bath  with  Johnson's    bedtime  bath and  bedtime lotion
