I am wondering if swaddling him would be a little safer than a weighted blanked at his young age.

We are GFCF and soy free as well that has actually been the #1 most helpful thing for us.

Thanks Angela. I will try the exercise ball. Yes, maybe swaddling to get him to go to sleep. I do not want to form unhealthy sleeping routines. I guess I just feel so badly that he will cry and cry unless I bounce him, that I do it. Is this bad???? He used to self soothe by sucking his thumb but that all went out the window! Maybe I will try the swaddle again -- he did used to love that when he was little, and now I am finding that naps are getting shorter and shorter and he does not sleep well through the night. Any other sleeping suggestions? I already do the white noise and have black out curtains.

The GFCFSF - yes, we are soy free too. We cannot do soy because of his thyroid meds. They do not absorb properly with soy. Did you order any of the cookbooks/shopping guides? Any good resources there! ANGELA -- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!! You are so good to me already and I just met you!!!

Have a great night!!! Ashlee
