gratefulgirl I had GREAT success with the miracle blanket. I'd put her down at 7 pm and she wouldn't wake up until 3 or 4 wanting a bottle! She was such a great sleeper, it's a large part of the reason why I had to stop breastfeeding so soon. I was too tired and lazy to wake up during the night to pump, so it naturally started to diminish until she started refusing the breast and it went away entirely! However, she started busting out of it almost every night and my pediatrician told me to transition to the Merlin suit.
I have done that, but it doesn't seem to help with the startle or keeping her arms more at her sides. She has no problem reaching up and pulling her paci out and waking herself up and scratching herself. The merlin suit was dirty last night so I put her in a regular zip up sleep sack and she had the same kind of night that she has in the merlin. I'M SO FREAKING TIRED and really wanted to swaddle her last night for old time's sake and get more than two hours in a row.
I am surprised she can reach her paci in a Merlin!
Dude, she is so strong. It's what her daycare providers comment on every day! The miracle blanket was a serious lifesaver until she got too strong for that too!
