Sleep discussion... I know there have been several posts but none directly on target.

Hey all. I post here infrequently but follow a lot so sorry if I am still considered a newb! But my DS is currently 21 weeks old (I know he was born in April, but due in May and I had followed here since BFP) and is waking up three times a night regardless of what we do. He gave us a few nights of sleeping through the night approximately 2 months ago and then went to waking up once overnight to have a bottle, which I didn't mind. However, now he is up more than ever and we've increased his feeds to see if that will help and tried to put him to bed earlier and later and nothing helps. I told my husband how you all had raved about the miracle sleep suit and I thought about looking into that, but don't want to spend the money if it isn't going to work. My DS hasn't been swaddled since like a month as he didn't care for it anymore and would throw a fit if we tried to put him in a swaddle, but he does like to be held when sleeping and the tighter the better. I am at a loss and any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated. (I apologize for any spelling/grammatical errors and am going to chalk it up to lack of sleep.)

ETA to say I tried to change my signature to not show I was still pregnant as I read that is someone's unpopular opinion yesterday but it won't save!

We just got the sleep suit, and I would recommend it. A good night for us is if LO only wakes up 3 times. It's not like he magically STTN, but it was a seemless transition from swaddling and the RnP to the sleepsuit in the crib. He is MUCH easier to get to sleep wearing the suit, I have noticed that. And he seems to be able to settle himself more. I can watch him on the monitor startle a little, snuggle into the suit and fall back asleep. That's a win in my book!

Get the sleepsuit. It doesnt hurt to try and if it doesnt, mention it for sale on here. Its worth the money for sleep.

You just described my little man to a T. Last night he was up 5 times. I'm desperate but we've done swaddle, designs, swaddle me, halo swaddle sleep sacks etc and each will work for like a night. I don't wang to spend $40 on something that doesn't work or not spend the $70 for two if it is great

My LO was waking up 3 or 4 times per night. His sleep suit came Wednesday, he slept til 7 the first night and til 6 today. It may not work for everyone , but out worked for me.
