Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit vs Boppy Original Nursing Pillow

“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.”

“Agreed on the nursing pillow - I found the boppy impossible to use for newborn phase. When my son was much bigger it was easier to use boppy than the my breast friend, but before then mbf all the way. I could even like wander around breastfeeding with it holding baby on the shelf like a stadium snack peddler (using an arm to help hold him of course)”
