Best praise vs top criticism for Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit
“Have you tried those transition swaddles that keep the arms in but let them bend at the elbows? The Merlin suit worked wonders for us when we hit this same wall - gives them that cozy feeling without the full restriction. The first week is absolutely brutal but most babies figure it out, hang in there”
“First and foremost, the sleep suit in the car seat is super dangerous. Second... perception of how bundled babies are is verrrrrrrryyyyyy cultural. Is your caregiver from Latin America by chance? I'm white and grew up in New York, so when I had my first baby in Northern California, I dressed him in ways that felt appropriate to me and my genuinely lovely child care provider from Brazil was emphatic that he must be freezing. Now I live in southern California, right on the US-mexico border, and i couldn't leave the house from November to March without someone gently letting me know that my baby was underdressed. The sleep sack in the car seat is an issue, and tone may be an issue (your husband felt she was mocking you)? But how bundled a baby is would not be my point for leaving care. Just my 2c.”
