Send him to sch. You will be surprised how babies can change when they’re in different environment. There are a few methods to do it (fb has a group called sleep training). Firstly, the patting timing needs to stop gradually. Start with no rocking, only pat in bed. Slowly cut from 20mins pat and leave. Then slowly cut to pat 15mins and leave. Use a baby monitor to monitor baby’s cries. I use sleep props (pacifier, older-a pillow/soft toy). I do night routines since birth and you can try it too. Soft music, off lights, milk, sleep within 5 mins no fuss, no patting, no rocking. If he’s fussy, I will carry and hug then I leave in cot and leave the room.
