HELP

As I'm typing this, I just spent 20 minutes trying to get Cash down for his morning nap.  We swaddled, we rocked, we shhh-ed, we did everything. I gently set him down in his rocker (we aren't to the crib yet) and fast forward 5 minutes later he is WIDE AWAKE LAUGHING AT THE FAN.  Ok and now he is crying. I have so many questions I don't even know where to begin. Let's go back. Around 6 weeks we started Cash on a bedtime routine-- this coupled with the miracle blanket and an elevated sleeper was our ticket to sleep.  He's been sleeping through the night ever since. (I know hate me all you want.)  But along with that comes having to rock him to sleep and perfect the "put down'' aka transferring him from our arms to the rocker (we aren't to the crib yet).  And that was totally fine in the newborn stage but now he needs to be rocked and shh-ed to sleep before bed and every nap.  I always said around 4 months I'm going to start sleep training per
