Hi there, I have a 20 month old daughter who has always slept very well. She has been sleeping in her own room, in her own crib since she was 3 months old with no problem and sleeping through the entire night. Just recently she has learned to climb out of her crib and to open doors.

Swaddling and Stimulation Questions

My son is 11 weeks old, but was born 18 days early. My husband and I have been using the soothing methods from Happiest Baby on the Block to get him to sleep. He's a super active baby, always swinging/punching/flailing/kicking, and swaddling him is the only way he can sleep w/o waking himself up. In a couple weeks I'd like to start letting him "cry it out" a little when putting him down so I can stop relying on the swing to get him to nap. My question is how will he be able to self-soothe w/o his little hands? Any tips on how I can "step...
