HOW I GOT SCARLETT TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT IN HER CRIB

I had always heard how exhausting having a newborn would be, but I truly had NO idea! It is like a whole new level of exhaustion! Exhaustion that I wouldn’t trade for anything, because I love that little girl lots. But, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love more sleep??

Scarlett slept in our room up until 4 months old. At about 3 months we started to notice that she was  a light sleeper and would wake up any time we stirred in our sleep. Also, Ryan was having to get ready in the guest bathroom in the morning just so he didn’t wake her. So it was clearly time to move her to her nursery. This posed a big problem for us, as I had tried getting Scarlett to nap in her crib for a few weeks and she woke up instantly. I knew this would be a challenge for us. After the first few nights of failing miserably, Ryan and I were beyond exhausted and would do just about anything to get her to sleep in her crib. We were on a mission! That is when I came across the Merlin Magic Sleep Suit and it seriously is a sleep suit full of magic, or something like that. The first night we used it, she slept 10 straight hours in her crib IN HER OWN ROOM!! We seriously couldn’t believe it worked. Since that night (2 months ago) she has slept every single night in her crib, and she takes great naps as well! I can’t recommend this product enough. At first glance it looks thick and restricting, but Scarlett loves hers. It keeps her warm, but has never woken up in a sweat. And she moves around freely in it, usually ending up on the opposite side of the crib that she began the night. It will be a sad day when she outgrows this magic suit!
