I have twin boys. They are 5 months old on the 24th. They just began waking only one time a night to feed 3 days ago. They are still waking to soothe however. I am trying to get rid of pacifiers at night...but I also need to sleep. I don't know how to get rid of the pacifiers.

Guest - Congratulations on only having to wake up once to feed your babies. Getting rid of a pacifier is often very difficult for parents. But your babies will adjust if you give them something else to suck on. We LOVE the lovies that we sell on our website because they are the perfect size for a baby to hold and find in the middle of the night if they feel the need to suck. They can control the lovies themselves and you don't have to come in the room and give it to them.

hi... i have a 2 1/2 week old is he to young to cry him self to sleep?

Dream Team Baby - Your baby is absolutely too young at this point. Babies are not ready to start trying to soothe themselves until around 8 weeks. We really recommend that parents wait until their babies are 4 months to sleep train. But you can make the environmental changes that we recommended on the show anytime.

How old do you suggest the baby should be before putting them to bed between 6 and 8 pm?

Dream Team Baby - All babies develop at different rates and some prefer and earlier bedtime right off the bat and some prefer to go to bed a little later. Once a baby is 3 months, their sleep patterns are more mature and that is a perfect time to establish a consistent bedtime routine and start putting them to bed between 6 and 8pm.

I'm a first time mom, and my 10 week old son is having a hard time sleeping in is crib during the day. He seems to always want to be rocked or held while sleeping. What's the best way to break this habit?

Dream Team Baby - This is a very good question. If your baby is having a hard time sleeping in the crib during the day, you can start by choosing one nap and making that the established "crib nap of the day." By being consistent and trying some of the environmental suggestions that we made on the show (empty crib, white noise and darkness), your baby will start to catch on.
