Congratulations on your new little bubba The advice you have been given is fab but I was wondering if you had a swing? We have a fisher and price swing and it was worth its weight in gold when DD was small. The rocking motion helped her calm right down and she rarely slept in it but it gave us some "2 hands" time. She was usually ready to be wrapped and put down after that too, the rocking seemed to make her sleepy.
