Stomach Sleeping
When did your baby start to sleep on its stomach? We’re transitioning to a sleep sack and he’s rolled over a few times, but we’re too paranoid to let him stay that way overnight even with the breathing wear on.

Hard time with evening naps
My 11week old won't sleep suddenly in the crib after being soothed for his last nap. The sleep environment is the same and he gets soothed the same way for every sleep.

Everything I’ve read says that melatonin will only increase at night so what is the benefit of using a dark room for a daytime nap.…
