Any tips or advice?

Hello, My son will be 6 months in 2 weeks. He is a great sleeper at night but only with the use of the Magic Sleep suit. He will not lay on his back and fall asleep and will sleep on his side but gets startled and wakes up crying. I normally rock him back to sleep he then wakes up and pattern continues until I give in and put the suit back on. I have been trying to wean him from the suit so he is ready for day care in September. He is my second child and my first son did wear the suit but he did not have a problem at all with transitioning out of it.

Any tricks or tips to help? 

Thank you!

    Cold turkey is my go to trick. You only have a night or two of roughness, and then they get over it. To me, it's much more torturous to slowly transition, because you end up having a rough time each time you take it away for another nap/night, and it's easy to tempt yourself into giving in.

    I donated all of our swaddle blankets and never looked back. DD was fussy for one bedtime, and did fine after that.
