Good Bye Magic Sleep Suit....Hello Footed Sleeper

7 Months 3 Weeks

We are finally finished with the Magic SleepSuit!  I still can't believe we had her in that thing for so long.  She seemed to really like it so we were afraid to stop using it in fear she would retaliate and wake up all night long.  Well, guess what??  She was already waking up all night anyway so buh-bye snowsuit!

4 Months Old!

Now, we're onto the footed sleeper and she loves it!  She turns over onto her stomach now and sleeps much better and for longer stretches.

 Yes, and we're even pulling up and biting the sides of the crib, now.  I hate to lower the crib, because we're still patting her back to put her to sleep.  Once that is dropped, our backs are really gonna be sore.  But, she's definitely getting much better at falling asleep by herself so hopefully she won't need patting much longer.  We shall see.

Back To The Miracle Blanket!

Thanks, Momma for FINALLY putting me back in the Miracle Blanket!

So, last night around 10:30 and after the 2nd time of LL waking up...I pulled out her Miracle Blanket, took off her "not so Magic Sleepsuit", swaddled her tight and she slept until 4:00am....then again til 7:00am.  Thank you JESUS!  I guess she just wasn't ready to transition out of her swaddle.  Here she is waking up bright and chipper this morning.

Since she has been waking up so much at night, she found her way back to the side of my bed in her Rock N Play.  If she continues with the longer stretches of sleep, I'll move her back to her room!

Magic SleepSuit....not so magic today.

Momma is most crabby today.  What a horrible night of sleeping for LL.  She was down at 7:30 last night then up at 8:30 (that's pretty normal) back up again at 11:30 (not normal) then again at 1:30 (normal) and 4:00, then up for the day bright and early at 6:00.  Of course, I've been up since she woke at 1:30 not able to fall back to sleep.  Lying in bed wondering why this was happening again...this sleep regression.  Why can't we figure this out?  She's not really hungry...she only nurses for a short time.

She's worn the Magic Sleepsuit for 4 nights...and this was the worse night so far.  I'm considering going back to the Miracle Blanket.

I Caved....Enter, The Magic SleepSuit!

4 Months 2 Weeks

"Oh boy, here she goes again."

So, I caved and bought the Magic SleepSuit. I've been reading a lot about it on the boards and decided it was time that LL transitioned out of the swaddle. I received 20% off because it was mislabeled...reads size large instead of small.  It came in the mail today which was nice...took like 2 days to get here. It's hilarious to look at and imagine her sleeping in it...looks like a big snowsuit.  I wonder if will be too hot?

"Are you serious?"

We'll keep you up to date on IF and HOW it works.
