Part of the problem is that he doesnt look for them, even if he is awake during the day, he picks them up and chews on them, but doesnt take them and suck on them to soothe. I have to put it in his mouth. He is physically able to, just...

Sounds just like my baby. He does the exact same thing, unless he's tired, then he sometimes likes it. He does like the back carrysometimes. Then, I discovered you can do a hip hold with the ergo and I tried that, and it went pretty...

My DS (10 months) generally sleeps from 7pm-6am, waking up once or twice to eat (except during teething, colds, overwhelming days etc). The problem is, every 2-3 hours he wakes up and fusses until I put his pacifier back in his mouth,...

Hmmm, interesting discussion, and one I have been thinking about too. We adopted our 29 weeker when he was 4 weeks old. Now, at 10 months, he is in great health, and showing no signs of developmental delays. Also, since we adopted, we...
