LO is 11 months and has always gone down to sleep easily. I would put him in drowsy and he'd be asleep within 5 minutes. However, for the past two weeks, he's been screaming (and standing up) as soon as he's put in his crib. It happens again 1-2 each night when he wakes up. Here's what we've tried so far:

Rocking him - he continues screaming and tried to wrench away

Sitting on the floor next to the crib - no effect

Lying down next to him our bed - rolls around and cries

Picking him up and walking around - he calms completely down until you try to get him to sleep and then the screaming commences

Cry it out - he can scream for a really long time. We haven't been able to handle more than a hour of crying

Going for a ride in the car - falls asleep within 10 minutes! DH is all for doing this every night, but I told him that's not going to happen!

Any thoughts on what we should do?
