The dreaded pacifier addiction. My baby (almost 3 months old) will lay down fine to go to sleep; if his pacifier is in his mouth. The problem comes when it falls out, then he starts to fuss then cry. We have to constantly go into his room to put it back in, then he will relax again and start to doze off, then it falls out again...etc. When will this stop? What can I do to get him to sleep without the pacifier? Help - his bedroom is upstairs!

My daughter does the same thing, but it is slowly getting better. Does your baby suck on his hand/fingers? We have been encouraging that so she can self-soothe a little. I try not to give it to her as much during the day, and I don't give it to her when she goes to sleep if I can (she usually nurses to sleep which probably isn't better). You can do the cry it out, but I'm trying to slowly wean her off it. Don't listen to the people who say she's to young to be by herself. No one in my family or among my friends has done co-sleeping and everyone turned out fine (including me and my three brothers). It's great for people who want to, but not necessary. That's what baby monitors were invented for.

what does it mean when the doctor hears an echo while externally monitoring the fetal heartrate?

Went to my OBs office for my appointment. I'm at 27 weeks and the midwife was using the external monitor to listen to the baby's heartbeat and she was having a hard time finding a spot that was steady because the baby was moving like crazy. She said she kept getting an echo. I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow and because of having to reschedule a few times this will be my first one. I'm just wondering if it's possible that I'm carrying twins and that the echo she was hearing was a second heartbeat. I have felt a lot of movement with this pregnancy, more so than with my entire pregnancy with my first child.
Answer
Your midwife should have detected 2 seperate heartbeats if you were carrying twins. Some fetuses are just alot more active than others. My son was active so much I thought I was carrying twins as well, but it's normal. The echo is a sound in the uterus (hard to tell what sound exactly it was), perfectly normal. See what the ultrasound technician tells you and go from there. Good luck.
