My son is 14 but as a baby I let him cry himself to sleep and soon after I learned I dont have to pick him up each time he cries things started calming down at bed time. It wont be overnite but give it time and he will learn to go to sleep on his own
It might be good to first make a dr appt to make sure there is nothing like pain like ear infection making him cry, but after you know everythings ok, just let him cry himself to sleep
just my thoughts, hope it helps

See, this was what I was concerned about. I don't want to feel like a horrible parent If we don't pick him up every time.
