F.S.
Babies need to put themselves to sleep~so it is better to put them in their bed before they are completely asleep. Some babies have their thumb or fingers to suck, others have a pacifier, others like to touch or hold a blanket with the silky part around it, etc.Babies also like to hear music so a wind up music maker attached to the crib is safe. With SIDS no stuffed toys in bed and the blanket should be tucked into the bottom of the crib so baby can't pull it over his/her head. Once baby is in bed with Mom, it is really difficult to get them to sleep in thier crib. Don't pick baby up but do comfort him/her by touching and talking to them. They will learn to sleep on thier own but it takes time.
