Can a Child Learn to Self Soothe at Night If Even I Can't Soothe Him Sometimes?

I asked yesterday about what to do with my "bad sleeper" two year old. His 3.5 week old brother sleeps better than he does or ever did, and with two of them, I am at my wit's end. When I asked what to do about it yesterday, I got the very sensible advice that its time for him to sleep in his own bed and learn to self soothe at night. Right now he sleeps with me, and even daddy can't get him to sleep. Apparently, the four days I was in the hospital were a nightmare, and my mom was there to help, too.

1St Baby on the Way! Where Should I Look for Furniture?

I wanted to know from "those that have been there and done it" where the best place to get baby furniture would be? New or used. I don't want to waste money buying things I do not need but want something fairly nice since it will be used for a few years. Thank you to all the mom's out there - you are so kind to give advice!

2 Month Old Will Not Sleep in Her Own Bed - Only Wants to Sleep While Being Held

We don't co-sleep - it's not a safe choice for my family. My 2 month old will only sleep at night in my arms. Every time I put her down in her own bed ( a cradle right next to my own bed), she wakes up and screams. I end up holding her for hours while she sleeps in the night. But then I don't get much sleep. I'm exhausted! I'm breastfeeding her every 2-4 hours throughout the night. She doesn'l like to be put down much for any reason - she doesn't even like her car seat. I have to "wear" her in a sling!

My 26 Month Old Won't Stay in Her Room at Night!

HELP!!! My daughter will not go to sleep without me or my husband in her view. When she finally falls asleep, she gets up up to 5 times a night and we have to put her back to bed. I can't take it anymore! I don't know what to do. I think she is having separation anxiety and is scared. I don't know what to do anymore...
