that's a tough one.

kids that get their rest at night are kids who can cope during the day. and that counts for a lot.

that being said, i think i would TRY the rocking at night. i wouldn't make it long and miserable, but just maybe incorporate it into your routine.

maybe, once he comes to expect that it's part of the day, and that it is a happy thing, he may begin to embrace it. and if he does start to embrace it, you can lengthen the time period as he relaxes and enjoys it.

you may need to really persevere for a few months before you see some changes in his reaction. that's a hard reality, but in the end it will be so worth it.

good luck!
