I would try to not let the baby nap all day then follow a nightly routine of a warm bath, brush teeth, jammies, tuck baby into bed, then let them cry it out if you have to. It is tough to do at first but if you stick to your guns it will work. Keep the same routine and time each night. I also have put one of my shirts which has my smell on it in with the baby. This soothes the baby because sometimes they just want mom. Another thing to try is to get one of those music things that automatically comes on when baby wakes up and let it play music. Do not go in the room! All babies are different and my motto is nothing is wrong as long as it works and is not dangerous. Some babies need pacifier each night and if it works its no big deal. Others need juice cup or bottle. I have three kids and all were different. One I had to put in vibrating chair in the crib to get him to sleep and he required no nap all day. Another required a bottle and rocking each night and my last loves to be tucked in and I hum to her. All kids get same regular time and bath routine each night. Kids thrive on structure. Good luck!
