Did he have a hard time transitioning from swaddle to suit? I read your earlier post but I tried one night and he wouldn't fall asleep in it. I want to try the suit again but am loving my 6-6 with no wake ups..... (baby sleep gods please don't curse me tonight)
He kept busting out of his swaddle so he had like three weeks totally unswaddled pre Merlin. It was an instantaneous improvement.
He also looks hilarious.
How much are these magical sleeping suits and how long can they wear them?

$40 on Amazon. Only limit on wearing is when they won't fit anymore. Kiddos can roll in them so woo! I think the biggest size is 12mo. But not sure on that. H is in the 6-9 month one because he's a 17 pound four month old giant.

So I have to humblebrag for a minute. Whenever I pick DS up from daycare his teacher always says how happy he is and that they all love him. She said today he laughed harder than any baby she's seen that young. But what really got me today is that when I was walking out the director told me that all of the teachers fight over getting to hold him because they like him so much. Hearing that makes me feel really good about leaving him there.
Man, this thread blew up today! I'm also glad everything turned Kumbaya, and I think foxslaw, I was one of the ones who said something somewhat bitchy about Hailybug, which is pretty uncharacteristic of me. I generally avoid posting in bitchy threads, or posting sarcastic/bitchy things, including those on TD when sometimes there was a pile on. Personally I like a little snark, although I try not to dish it out cause I don't think when I do it, it goes over well.
mamabutt2 the suit is like $40 dollars on amazon and its my god. We were trying to transition from RNP to lying flat (first in the PNP, then his crib because PNP in our room was not working). After a hellish week Merlin arrived and POOF. LO usually gets fed, put in the suit, and left to put his little self to sleep. Ditto during MOTN feedings, of which he usually has 1. Sometimes it doesn't work (last night. Last night sucked.). I don't know how long they can stay in them though, but honestly, for me $40 was worth just the last two or 3 weeks we've had it. Everyday with it is a precious precious gift, and I'm terrified of the thought that he might not be in it forever and ever and ever.
For reals though, I think day care is having him nap un-swaddled these days, so I"m kindof hoping they sleep train him for me?

Wait, really? Someone earlier in the thread said they had to stop wearing it when baby flips over in it, which sent me into a terrified tailspin of panic, cause he's been getting close! He rolls over all the time when not in the suit. Not so great at rolling back though.
Oh wow, im glad everyone is good with each other again.
I've considered buying a Merlin suit too but it's so damn hot here. That thing looks like a thermosuit. You ladies must have great ac that works upstairs. DS sleeps only in a short sleeve onesie and that's all he can handle. He's been out of the swaddle for a while, I wonder if the merlin would help him finally STTN...
sugahcookie01, I too have a chunky boy at over 17lb at 4mo! Now I know what size to get if I do buy one.

Stupid work making me miss everything. But I'm glad we're all good and that jensoprano82 is staying.
I just picked a pint of blueberries from the bush outside and it doesn't look like I even touched it.
Finally, DS has been napping in his swing since about 6:30. Looks like we won't be doing a bath tonight. I wonder when he'll get up so I can get him in his jammies and into bed.

For anyone worried about Merlin: the Zipadee-Zip is goddamn godsend. Or an unholy deal with the devil. Either way, my kid sleeps great in it and is rolling all over the crib all night.
I participated in Saturday's shenanigans. I tried not to target anyone, just have beer-induced fun. I apologize for hurting anyone.

Shit.
What I got from that is that you transition him out of it when he starts to roll in the suit, not roll in general.
