Stacy,
He's erratic w/ the pacifier. Sometimes he spits it out right away b4 he is even fully asleep. Others he keeps it in for the whole nap. I have not found that he wakes when he loses it. I just went in to wts and it was on his chest and he was out cold. I can't decide if it is an issue. He never even took one until I started sleep training. Ironic, huh? In training him to sleep I may have reinforced a prop! Another question. This last wts, I gently stroked his cheek which made him stir yesterday. This time, he jolted and threw his arm in the air, sighed, re-positioned and settled again. Never opened his eyes. Is this too much? If so, how do I avoid such a startle?
