We have had awful sleep as we transition from the RnP to a crib, plus the 4 month sleep regression (http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sleep-train-this-issue)
I combined mrs blue's towel trick with the Merlin magic sleep suit last night and E slept TEN hours STRAIGHT!!! Holy shit, I feel amazing.
Don't forget this product is out there!!!!

Woohoo! I've heard good things about the Merlin sleep suit!

@hilsy-I'm SO glad you suggested it!
Yeah today is amazing lol. DH said its worth the $40 even if it only work sometimes, but I refuse to believe last night was a coincidental fluke. She went to sleep so easily, too. A little wiggling was all!

Can you post a pic of what the towel nest looks like? I'm transitioning from RnP to crib as well but can't quite visualize how it would look!

I do feel great! And I feel kind of braggy but maybe someone else will benefit from it!
Imagine the photos rotated clockwise 90 '!

@blackbird: so her feet went on the elevated part? How interesting, that's the opposite of what I imagined but I'm gonna try it, with the suit! Not for a few more weeks but thanks for the image!!

Where did you get the suit? It looks thick does she get hot?

@Smurfette: I got it on Amazon! I've seen it in the classifieds here before too though. Some people say it gets hot but supposedly it's made from a breathable fabric that circulates okay.

@Smurfette: I just went to the suit's website and they sell them 2/$70 or 'gently used' for $20, think I'm gonna do it

@trailmix-her feet go over the towel but I also elevated the crib mattress with the books!
@smurfette-it does feel thick and fluffy but its not dense. I put E in just a diaper. She didn't seem overly warm, and she tends to run warm so I think it's ok! We keep a fan going in her room, too.
I definitely wish I had bought it used because it was more expensive to not have planned ahead, but oh well. Can't buy everything as a precaution

@JoJoGirl: @Trailmix: @blackbird: I looked it up and it said it isn't good for rollers. R sleeps on her tummy every night. So I am thinking I shouldn't buy one 
which sucks cause I will spend anything to get some sleep. I seriously hate teething

Ella tried to roll in this and she just wasn't strong enough to. And she rolls back to front like there's no tomorrow. But it's a back-only sleeping method. It really restricts them. It totally reminds me of those protective suits they wear when training police dogs. If your LO will sleep on her back, it might help. Maybe someone near you (a mom group?) has one you can borrow

We had similar success with a heavy gro bag like sleep sack. They just love being cozy!!

@blackbird: Do you think it would work in the RNP? We haven't transitioned yet....

It might be kind of bulky for the RnP. She's pretty dang puffy in it!

This sounds amazing! My LO has nasal congestion so I was thinking of doing Mrs. Blue's elevation trick, but she also flails around a lot so the suit might help. She just started continually rolling onto her belly in her sleep though so it might not be a perfect solution.
