Help, Infant Cries When Placed In Crib

[TTT]

I have an 8 month old who I know is sleepy but when I place him in his crib he just stands up and crystal. Any suggestions on how to help him fall asleep I'm his crib? Thanks.

I assume you mean he stands and cries?
I'm also going to assume that all medical issues have been ruled out - no reflux, teething, etc. All of which can make a good nap tricky.
I know some will disagree, but the child is 8 months old, not 8 weeks. I would go back in ONCE to lay him down with a "shh night night" and then leave the room. I would set the timer for 10 minutes and would not go in until the timer went off. If I needed to go in again I would do the exact same thing but then increase the time to 15 minutes. I would make sure the room was dark, cool and there was a fan or some type of white noise machine going. I would make sure the child has what he needs to have a successful nap (lovey, binky, etc.) If I knew he was well and my going in just made him more upset, I would stand outside the door to monitor the situation but NOT go in. The point is to get him to want to sleep, not get so upset that he becomes overwrought.
My other thought is that it's possible you are missing the window to get him down and he's so overtired he can't sleep? Maybe try laying him down earlier then you are?

I like to use a little lavender scent sometimes with my hard cases, too. It's supposed to be soothing.
