Give up? Daddy can't put baby to sleep any more
*sigh*
It started about a week ago - I can't seem to put our 4month old to bed for overnight sleep any more... She just cries until I pass her back to my wife. One time, my wife was out and the baby just cried for an hour before she fell asleep, probably due to exhaustion - couldn't do much in terms of using a carrier, rocking her, singing, patting her, etc etc... All those used to work a week ago, and now only my wife can put her to sleep overnight. I can still put her to sleep for naps though, which is weird.
I talked with some friends who had kids and they had similar experiences. I googled around and am doing overnight feeding, trying to bond closer with her as well, but it hasn't particularly been helping. Any more advice before I just give up? My friends are saying she may grow out of it at around 12months.
