Basically said DD is good in the suit until she can roll over while IN it! So we're safe for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360188 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:42:23 +0000 MRSJX3 2360188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was always told that they can be in it until they rolled in it. My daughter was in it for a few months after she could roll because she couldn't roll in it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360181 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:37:24 +0000 snowjewelz 2360181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Boo! I think the 4 month regression is pretty bad!

I just put her in the suit last night on her back in her crib. She's napping in a crib at daycare without any issues so I need to do it at home. The pediatrician said we would know when she's done being swaddled. She's not breaking out per se but I feel like maybe she's starting to try? I don't know. I don't know if there's any easy way to transition though other than just doing it... We did put her in the crib the other weekend while swaddled but she slept like crap, waking up a bunch (could be due to any number of reasons though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360032 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:43:16 +0000 MrsADS 2360032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can someone explain to me how you use the suit to transition out of the swaddle? Like how old is your LO and how did you do it? </p> <p>LO is 11 wks and still firmly swaddled, although I know in the next month or so we're going to have to start thinking about this and I don't know what to think... he also still sleeps in a RnP.... sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360014 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:30:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2360014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: he woke anywhere between 1-3 times at night still, but I think it would be worse without the suit! Also I don't mind that it keeps her super warm! Actually when we took her out of it, she started STTN! But I think she was also ready by then so it didn't really have much to do with the suit. But man, I loved that thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360010 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:28:40 +0000 LindsayInNY 2360010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Did she sleep better IN the suit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2360007 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:27:29 +0000 snowjewelz 2360007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm confident she will be fine! It really is hard to roll in that thing. After that we just went cold turkey and it took like 2 days but DD totally adjusted fine (I thought it would take weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359999 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:23:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 2359999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @Anagram: I feel better... I actually emailed the company and they also said not to use it once she starts rolling IN the suit. So I think she's (hopefully) safe for now... I guess I'll know soon enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359869 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 14:12:22 +0000 Anagram 2359869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: we also used the Merlin suit way after LO 1 was rolling out of the suit. She started rolling around 4 months, but we used the suit till 7 months. She never once was able to roll in the suit, but around that time, she started wanting to sit up in the suit, and would strain a lot trying to sit up, so then we transitioned to the sleep sack.</p> <p>It's almost impossible for little ones to roll in that thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359866 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 14:10:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2359866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't go by me b/c what I did probably wasn't safe for everyone but I knew my baby so I was comfortable.</p> <p>DD used the merlin suit till she was almost 7 months I think! While she could roll whichever way, I think b/c she was so accustomed to being swaddled/being in the suit, she didn't really move in her sleep. Also, we cosleep so I knew I'd know if she rolled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359830 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:54:16 +0000 Madison43 2359830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I agree with @Truth Bombs. Once she's rolling, I don't think it's safe to use. Even if she can't roll in the suit today, she may tomorrow and unless your watching a monitor all night, you probably wouldn't know until she was in a potentially dangerous position. It sucks - my daughter was a swaddle addict and we quit cold turkey once she started rolling. It was rough for a week or so, but then she was fine. On the bright side,if her sleep is crappy already, things can only improve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359812 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:40:04 +0000 LindsayInNY 2359812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Yes. When she's on the floor, she rolls pretty much non-stop in all directions. I used the suit for the first time last night and could see her lifting her legs up before falling asleep. So it has me a little worried... We've only used it once so I don't know if she can roll IN the suit though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359797 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:30:06 +0000 Truth Bombs 2359797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can she roll when she's not in it? If so, I wouldn't use it any longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/merlin-sleep-suit-questions#post-2359778 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 13:14:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 2359778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is still swaddled in a Halo SleepSack Swaddle and sleeping in her hammock thing. We need to transition her to her crib in the hopes that she'll start sleeping better. I don't know if she's ready to be in swaddled so we're trying the Merlin suit. She can still move a good amount in it, I don't know if that's normal or not. She stayed on her back all last night but I worry she'll roll in it. Is she safe to be in it until she rolls while in it? I need this crap sleep to stop before I lose my mind. </p>
