I'm happy to announce that this child is SO MUCH easier. She now usually cries for about 5 minutes after I put her in her playpen...and then she sleeps for an hour or more. The mother is having much better nights with her, and an easier time putting her down for bed also. The little girl is much happier during the day, smiley, chatty, and even laughing sometimes. She is not as clingy...and ventures off on her own a bit more (as long as she can see me). There is still some room for improvement, but at least I've seen some progress...and feel MUCH MUCH better!!
