My daughter when she came home from Colombia had trouble sleeping for two months...she was 17 months old and she was very fearful. I would first rock her in a rocking chair while she drank her bottle. After the rocking chair I would hoist her on my shoulder and rub her back then I would place her in the crib and rub her back while she was in the crib, so that she would get used to her crib. Then I would sit in her room until she fell asleep...she has been home four months and now I can rock her in the rocking chair and put her right to bed. She still has difficulty every now and then but she has improved a lot..... Your son has had a lot of new changes...it will get better.
