Tips, Help, What to do

DS was sleeping really well at night and going to sleep well up until a week or so ago. We had switched him from a pack and play to his crib and was doing fine for a few days and then he was having major trouble falling to sleep after his last feeding and fall asleep after his feedings. The last few nights he started having even more trouble falling asleep and will only sleep laying on my chest. He has no problems sleeping during the day in any position although he sleeps best on me or on his back or side on our mattress with me. I really don't want to start cosleeping other than for naps. Does anyone have any advice or tips? Please help.

O the sleeping problem at least part of the time is gas. He get the Little Remedies drops but they don't always seem to work, so tips on that would help too

As much as I hate it I had to let my daughter cry it out a couple nights when I switched her to her crib, only about 15 minutes. If she called longer then that I would go in and nurse and snuggle her, calm her down and try again, but she was usually out after 5 minutes. She's 2 months and still has some bad night were I have to rock, nurse, bounce her to sleep but there getting farther and farther apart

i would be consitant with a routine for sleep, naps, or bedtime.  if you want baby to sleep in the crib, that's where i would put LO for both naptime and bedtime.  if they are still fussy i'd rub their back and shush them until they fell asleep at this age. 

for sleep help i reccomend the "happiest baby on the block".  it really helped us for both girls.

good luck
