I always put my daughter in just a onsie under her swaddle blanket. Try a different brand? They nake thinner ones that I believe they carry at target.
Startle reflex
Ugh...(firmly tugs at hair). So my LO is 2 months and I've decided it's getting to be time to start transitioning her to her crib. She currently sleeps in her pack and play in our room but, she sleeps in the infant sleeper thingy that attaches to the infant sleeping portion of it. Today I tried yet again to see if she would sleep in her crib in her room and she wasn't having it but, she did sleep for a half hour. I tried in her pack n play by laying her in the actual sleeping portion of it and between her yanking her Binkie out and her startle reflex I'm about to loose it. I bought her one of those woombie things and that works great except that she runs warm and ends up getting too hot...I feel like I can't win and she will be sleeping in our room forever. We have alot going on in the next couple months where she will need to spend the night at the grandparents and I just want to make it kind of easy for them as well as our LO. Any help would be so appreciated:)

I started putting my daughter in her cribs for naps. She always wakes up when I first put her down and fusses for a bit (just making noises) and after a couple of minutes she puts herself back to sleep. I don't go in there and pick her up unless she starts to cry (I'm not a fan of letting her cry it out.) So the minute she starts crying you better believe I'm right there lol. It took me a week or so to get her used to napping in there

They eventually grow out of their startle reflex too. I think between 2-3 months. Maybe try laying her down a different way? I'm not sure what to say about that, Ella doesn't really startle easily

I know you don't necessarily want her in your room forever but the pack n play was so hard and firm for her that I started bed sharing with her and I believe that helped her transition from the pac n play to the crib too. She occasionally sleeps in the pac n play at night, but we mainly bedshare

You feel like she will be sleeping in your room forever. She is 2 months old!! I'm sorry but your post made me angry. She should be in your room for a while longer, she wants to be close to you and smell you. That's what comforts her. Why are you in such a rush to transition her?

why is it an issue for you what I want to do for my child? I want to "start" I never said I want her in there for every time she sleeps. she's growing out of what she's sleeping in now and for her safety need to find a better solution. I am by no means trying to rush her out of our room...I adore my little girl and why I am explaining this to you is beyond me. I was simply look for help with my situation and you felt the need to attack me. If you don't have anything nice or informative to tell me then back the heck off.
