I would love to know if the 5 Ss are mainly for newborns or if you can start with an older baby (12 weeks)
The 5 S’s will still be beneficial if you begin swaddling your son as they work well past 3 months. Also, swaddling correctly is the cornerstone of good calming and sleep. Dr. Karp recommends swaddling at least until 4 months of age, and many babies need it until 5, 6, 7 months of age. If your son is getting out of the swaddle, the blanket may be too small or he is incorrectly wrapped. The Perfect Swaddling Solution is a great swaddle blanket as it is a large, thin blanket perfect for getting a snug swaddle and can be found on our website.

- I recently watched your DVD and love the swaddling concept. My question is that we live on an island in the Caribbean in an un-air conditioned house, and I am concerned my baby may get too hot being all swaddled up … after I do it he seems very hot and sweaty… although he usually sleeps better and seems pretty calm. How hot is too hot?

My 8 month old son goes to bed at 8ish but he wakes about an hour later and cries till i pick him up he stands in his crib and screams. As soon as i do pick him up he falls asleep if i lie him down in his crib once again hes up in a hour. and we do this over and over again, so we put him in bed with us and still hes tossing and turning and waking up through the night. Im nursing so i just feed him so he will go back to sleep..Does he have a sleeping disorder? HELP
