I keep seeing people say that you can’t start sleep training at all before 6 months because babies can’t learn to self settle before that. At the same time though I also see a lot of baby books and sleep trainers encouraging parents to utilise methods that look like sleep training (eg putting down drowsy but awake, extending time before soothing, etc.) at as early as 8 weeks. And these do seem to work for some parents so what is actually the truth?

For context, I do rock my 8 week old to sleep most nights and I’m wondering if I’m creating bad habits for when we do eventually train.

This is so crazy but my baby is 7 weeks today and she rolled onto her back during tummy time. I thought it was a fluke but then she almost went over again when I put her back on her tummy. I saw from a previous post like this that it’s probably just a reflex rather than an active roll but does this mean i should transition her out of her swaddle just in case? We have the love to dream one and she sleeps beautifully in it.

This thought randomly occurred to me but does anyone know why only Hasidic men have to dress in such a specific way (black and white, shtreimels, long socks in some communities) but not the women? I understand it’s to keep hold of how they dressed in the shtetl hundred of years ago but surely that should also apply to women in the community?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I’m fully aware that women have specific rules about how to dress in these communities. My question is why they aren’t expected to dress in the style of a specific time period (eg frock coats) like men are. To compare to the Amish for example (I know not a perfect comparison) both men and women dress according to the same time period.
