Infant Who Insists on Sleeping on Her Belly

I have a 6 month old beautiful girl who recently began turning over in her bassinet. I wake up in the middle of the night for feeding or to check on her and she is face down asleep. I am worried because I have heard so many horror stories of crib death, suffication, etc. I have tried putting the body guards but she still manages to turn around. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences like this. Should I be worried.

How Do I Prepare My 19 Month Old Daughter for a New Baby?

I have a beautiful 19 month old daughter, Autumn, and I am due to have another baby at the end of next month. I am more worried about how she is going to react about the new baby then anything else. We love her so much and we don't want her to feel left out in anyway. A few months ago she became very interested in baby dolls so both my husband play with the baby dolls with her and she is very compassionate with them. For those of you who have been through this what worked for you? How did you handle the situation? Is there anything...

How Hard Should It Be to Get a Baby to Take a Pacifier?

I would like to be a able to use a pacifier with my 2-month-old daughter, but she usually spits it out. My mom had some success with getting her to take it in the first month and after she left, I tried to continue with it with mixed results. Now my baby seems to reject it every time. When my son, who is now three, was a baby he acted like he was going to gag on the pacifier, so I stopped using it pretty quickly.
