Sometimes our 6 month old son cries alot before he finally goes to sleep for the night. He'll be rubbing his eyes and stuff before we give him his last bottle, so we know he's tired.

He might even fall asleep with the last bottle, then when we put him in his bed he'll wake up and cry for a little bit.

He usually falls back asleep after about 5 minutes, but does anyone have any tips on putting him to bed without him crying? Or is this an age thing that he'll grow out of?

darlin, he will grow out of it...
you want my advice?
at least is what we did with aidan...
have you heard of CIO (cry it out). they need to learn to "self soothe". this will teach them to be independent. give him ONE bottle (8 oz) before bed time. let him drink it until he full and doesnt' want anymore. then put him in his bed, if he cries, let him cry it out for 30 min, go in there and rock him for awhile then try again, let him cry it out for another 30 minutes then get him and give him HALF of a bottle, keep trying and sometimes you just have to let him cry it out until he goes to sleep.
trust me it is a patient process and we did it with aidan and still doing it now.

That's how we got him to start sleeping through the night, and he's been doing that since he was about 2 months old, which has been nice!

I think he's teething now which is why he's waking up. He has two front teeth in on the bottom, and I can't feel anymore, but that doesn't mean they're not coming in.

oral gel and tylenol....that should help

is he doing any better frosty?

We changed his schedule a little last night and it seems to have worked. We usually gave him vegetables and a bottle around our dinner time, then gave him another bottle when he seems ready for bed.

Last night we gave him some juice first, then after we ate we gave him veggies. Then we gave him a bath a little while later, and he started getting cranky a little after 7pm, so we fed him and he was out like a light lol.

they say lavender and camomile scent powder is good for babies, it is relaxing and will give your baby a good sleep..

Bath & Body Works has an incredible pillow mist that is Lavender/Vanilla scented. I used it on both my kids and take it when we travel. it' calms them both and gives them a sense of being at home even if they sleep in a strange bed/crib
