hmmm i give my son a pacifier whenever hes restless and that calms him down and he goes right back to sleep, the sleeping alone was a big issue for me aswell he didnt like sleeping in the crib by him self he would wake up in the middle of the night and start crying but eventually he got used to it after a few days and acutally someone told me to put like a kameez or dubatta or something of urs over the crib side so the baby smells and it thinks ur there... sounds weird i know but worked for me. and for puttin him to sleep try rubbing his head smoothly makes them fall asleep faster so maybe that way he wont have enough time to pul ur hair... hope this helps.
