Anyone have any experience using this during teething? Everyone keeps telling me his sleep patterns won't last! I'm loving my 9 hrs every night!

We had a couple nights where he didn't sleep through because his teeth hurt, but once we handled that and got his pain under control he slept great. It's designed to help with the jerking awake not the other factors that may come into play.

We are still using the sleep suit (started around 3 months) at 7 months and have used it throughout some teething. I think it does become a comfort item so it might help with just feeling as comfortable as possible during that time.

Depends on how old she is and if she is already teething. I had mine the day I picked up Louie at the breeders, I put it in with him that night and every night or about8 weeks, and never heard a peep out of him at night or crate/nap time......it was absolutely wonderful, he still is a great sleeper now even tho he doesn't want it anymore and did try to tear it up when he was teething, so I put it away and will donate it. For me it worked as it said it would do and was worth every penny, I hope it does the same for you.

I love this product, it gives me peace of mind at night! Our baby was premature as well but not as premature as yours... Make sure when you clip on the Snuza that you fold over the diaper before clipping it on otherwise you will have false alarms!

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

We just took a chance and had our 13 month old sleep in it for the first time on a vacation. Luckily it worked out. I would suggest starting with nap time to get your kiddo used to it just to be on the safe side, especially if your dealing with a fairly young child.

This model is not as bulky as the original model...but "bulky" is 'specious' (as bulky to one mouth may not be to another mouth). The question in my mind are: a) is there enough of it for your teeth to "seat" into the material, so it sticks to your upper teeth at night when you may be chewing, grinding, and so on...so that it stays put. I have tried several other brands, which have a very minimal strip for the back teeth, and practically a small ribbon of plastic around the front teeth, and they have not seated properly (after boiling for 1 minute, then dropping into cold water, then immediately into your mouth to make the impression). It felt dangerous to me to have something flipping around inside my mouth--what if I started to swallow it?!!And if it won't stay put, it does you no good whatsoever. This model has softish material and your teeth go into it, and it makes a perfect impression of your teeth. So it fits like a glove. The band across the front is strong, but as minimal as they could make it, and still do the job. You can cut this down with sharp scissors, if it extends too far back in your mouth (beyond your back teeth). The original model told you to do that--I don't know whether the instructions for this model do or not, but it is easily done. Just pare away small bits until you get where you need to be--but don't be incautious and whack too much off at one time--it won't grow back :&gt;) I'd think a small mouth would mean, in this model, that your troubles would only be with the front to back measurement, and that can be whacked off at each end. Since the material allows your teeth to sink down into it, your jaw is not held open at all.

I do not own this product (thinking about buying) but I was given a video on paced bottle feeding which suggests you hold the bottle level with their mouth and pause after 20-30 seconds of feeding, then resume. It slows them down and prevents the drink or drown mindset of positioning baby lying down. But might give them more air. There's a video on YouTube.

We didn't have any trouble, but we tried it in the 6-9months size only so he wasn't in it right after swaddling. We first stopped putting it on during naps occasionally and then all the time followed by bedtime. He is now in a sleep sack as an extra layer and his sleep pattern has not changed.

It's amazing for teething! Much better than the mesh things. I put frozen peas and apple slices in it all the time just for teething.

use a soapy cloth and do not sterolize. i went through a couple of vulli teethers from sterolizing. the squeaker won't work afterwards.

Only 30 minutes. I would not recommend sleeping with this. You will wake up and breathing will hurt your teeth.

My 7 mo old baby doesn't have teeth yet and she has loved it for 4 mos now. I don't know how I will feel once she starts having teeth. I don't think the wood looks like it will chip out...but I don't know. Some babies chew on crib rails and I think this would be the same thing. (My first baby never chewed on his crib though, so I don't know). Sorry, I doubt I am much help.

My preschooler was not sleeping through the night (waking 8-10 times), and we had a baby on the way. We had to do something or we were never going to get any sleep, so we went to our acupuncturist who showed us where to put these on his ears. He started sleeping through the night, waking in a good mood, his appetite was increased (it was a fight to get him to eat anything) and he started having fairly regular BM's (which he had always had problems with). He is like a new kid and life is a lot more enjoyable for him.

Yes! This is one of the best teethers you can get for all stages of teething. The unique design makes it easy to chew on inside. My 15 month old is getting her molars in and she chews it like crazy! It's also very well made to with stand all the chewing.

It helps with teething as well. I found it to be pretty much the same idea as the mesh bag just cleaner and safer. I added frozen berries and bananas and it seems to sooth his gums. He rubs it on his gums as well as is able to eat the fruits as it pressed through the holes.

I'm with you all...just turned 8 months, sleeps like a lamb in the RnP, but is so active that she can't sleep in her crib. I'm all for letting her cry herself to sleep at this age, but we live in an apartment and I'm trying to be aware of our upstairs neighbors. Ugghhh...this is frustrating. :(

No...unfortunately I do the same thing. Very frustrating but I keep doing it because it keeps my baby sleeping! Can try rechargeables maybe to keep the costs down.
