Just wanted to share my recent success story bc I'm so excited!</p> <p>LO is almost 12 weeks old now. He has been sleeping in the Rock 'n Play overnight since a few weeks old since he slept best there, esp with his reflux. </p> <p>Lately, though, his sleep had started to worsen. For a while, he gave me an initial 5-6 hr stretch, but lately he had only been giving me an initial 4 hr stretch. I also have to transfer him to the swing for anything after 4 or 5am or else he wouldn't let me put him down. </p> <p>He has also looked really uncomfortable in the Rock 'n Play lately.</p> <p>Since his reflux has also been a little better, we decided it was time to bite the bullet and get him in the crib. </p> <p>First night: Crib + Magic Merlin Sleep Suit -- up every 1-2 hrs. OMG. Around 1:30am, I switched him to the swaddle since his arms seemed to be waking him up. Stuck him in the swing at 4:30am in desperation. I was a walking zombie the next day. </p> <p>Second night: Crib + swaddle -- up every 2-3 hrs. Still last 2 hrs in the swing. Better. I was functional.</p> <p>Third night: Crib + swaddle -- INITIAL 7 HOUR STRETCH! Followed by another 2 hr stretch. Then I decided to not press my luck and stuck him in the swing for the last stretch.</p> <p>I'm so excited for my sleep, and so proud of my little big boy! It took 3 nights, but things are looking up! Let's hope he can do it again tonight! </p>
