Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit vs Philips Avent Fast Bottle Warmer

“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.”

“I like the size and shape of the Philips Avent bottles, but we only used them for about a week as it was taking our daughter over an hour to drink an ounce with them and she’d eventually just give up. Now that she’s a month old I may try them again. We switched to Dr Browns, but ours also leak 75% of the time. I’ve discovered that if I slowly put on the cap, make sure the green thing is lined up nicely and tighten it, but not too tight they don’t leak.”
