So the day went on and later that afternoon I tried again, this time I put her in the sleeper and she cried!! I mean hysterically crying and trying to wiggle herself out of it. But I decided I would try again later, maybe she just needed to get used to it. Honestly I was let down and disappointed. She slept for her usual 20 minutes! I was SHOCKED! This was not the results I was expecting. I was rejoicing to the heavens! She fell asleep, no crying nothing! I busted out my iPad to get some work done right next to her, I figured I would have a good solid 2 hours to work. She laid there and babbled and played for a little bit before falling asleep (it was already her nap time anyways). She looked around and sort of looked at me like “mom what did you just put me in?”. So while my oldest was down for a nap, I laid out the Grand and put my little one inside. The day it came I was SO excited to bust it out of the box and put this “magic sleeper” to use. Now call me selfish or whatever but let’s face it, if “mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”, (isn’t that how the saying goes!?)īasically she had just been getting progressively worse waking up multiple times a night instead of just the once and naps were 20 min stretches throughout the day. Now most moms are probably yelling at me through their phone or computer right now for complaining about this, but when I was used to a baby sleeping 10hours straight to now waking up every 4-5 hours was a buzzkill for MY sleep. She went from sleeping 7pm-5am at around 3-4 months old to all of a sudden only sleeping 7pm-12am then 3am-6am. She was overly tired which then made her nighttime sleep hell. She went from sleeping 2 hours in the rocker to 20 minutes. Then all of a sudden she didn’t want to sleep in there anymore. We had the 4Moms MamaRoo rocker as well and that worked great up until around 5 months old. My baby started sleeping better at night thanks to the Halo Sleep Sack (review on that item here).īut her naps still weren’t great unless she was sleeping on me and I couldn’t always do that.

Months went by and I grew more and more tired with a newborn and a toddler. We aren’t rich, we are a regular middle class family and I’d rather spend the money on other things for my family than a sleeper. $200 for a baby lounger?! I just couldn’t. So I looked and looked but just couldn’t justify the price. They said their babies never slept great until they purchased this product then BAM, sleeping hours at a time! I was intrigued, like most parents are, especially about a product that people are saying guarantees longer sleep. I had heard other moms raving about this product! I had been wanted this “miracle sleeper” ever since I found out I was pregnant with our second baby.
