It's free and I couldn't get the DCB to sleep without it! Loud on oscillating fan works wonders. My DCB started at 9 weeks and is breast fed. He went on a bottle strike and wouldn't take any bottles from me. He was with me for 10 hours a day! He screamed the WHOLE day. Only stopping briefly while holding him. I swaddle him (he doesn't like the process of swaddling, but settles down once swaddled -- I do it TIGHT). Put the app on, light rocking and he goes to sleep. Worth a try? My DCB is 15 weeks old now, and it's still a struggle, but am seeing some improvement... will now take a bottle when extremely hungry and sleep for longer stretches. He's just not a happy baby. He's either sleeping or screaming... if it continues, I will consider terming.

I don't necessarily let him CIO... but he NEVER stopped screaming, so it seemed whether I held him or not he would scream, sometimes I needed to set him down and gather my wits, or help another child. Hang in there!!!
