When I have a new child who won't sleep I spend the first month if necessary sitting by the playpen and laying the child down over and over again and making them learn that when they are put in the playpen it is naptime. It's not mean, it's training them just like any other thing they have to learn. I don't get much of a break when I have a new child like this but it is worth the time and effort to get them into our routine.
Exactly!
a) why can't he drink his bottle in the playpen then fall asleep?

b) cry it out
