(I believe our specially engineered CD/itunes sounds are the best available and it will help her sleep better, even through teething.) and I recommend letting her sleep swaddled, but belted into a FULLY reclined infant seat or FULLY reclined swing...that way she won't be able to roll over.

If all else fails, you might need to also let her sleep swaddled, belted into the moving swing for 1-2 months.
