[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op my child was a lot like yours
 I am the one who did the contented little baby book.

I followed the schedule there and put my child down for naps at the suggested times. It he cried through his nap so be it
 I took the opportunity to take a shower and get dressed, etc. That didn't last long -- he learned to appreciate nap time quickly. He ate well and slept great on the schedule.

He is a happy, healthy strapping young man now.

OP here. How old was your baby when you did this? The other methods I'm looking at are Ferber and BabyWise. [/quote]

I started with the overall schedule at 2 weeks but didn't leave him to cry. But he cried like yours even when being held or no matter what I did. He did have reflux so I kept him upright after feeding. His crib mattress was on an incline too and took medication.
 
 He got his day and night flipped at a few days old
 A schedule helped right that; it is initially why we sought out the schedule

Then we eased him into a nap schedule but at the beginning he cried throgh his half hour nap, but he cried if I held him too. He hated any kind of carrier so that didn't work.

I finally just put him in his crib and left for naps. 
 I needed to shower, eat, do the baby laundry, etc. After maybe 5 days he started getting sleep and really started calming down.
