Baby Merlin's Magic SleepsuitBaby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit - Cotton Baby Swaddle Transition Product - Soft and Breathable Design, Double Zipper for Easy Diaper Changes, Promotes Safe Sleep - Blue - Large 18-21lbs

I’m usually a skeptical tight wad when it comes to things like this. However I desperately jumped on the band wagon. My 3 month old has not done well with transitioning out of a swaddle and giving up the bassinet with in the same week. Sleep has been scarce. He’s always waken up every 3-4 hours but when I had to take the swaddle away it dwindled down to 2-3 hours and then introducing the crib he was waking every hour. The first night of using the suit he slept a 4 hour stretch right out of the gate and woke up for a diaper change and immediately fell back to sleep after nursing. Last night he just about slept through the night he woke up at 3 am for a quick bottle and diaper change and slept until 9:15. Now he’s not sleeping 8-10 hour stretches but I’ve noticed a difference between using it and not using it. Our second night in it he peed through his diaper at 2 am and I had to take him out of it. He woke up every hour after that. So if you’re exhausted and desperate I definitely recommend shelling out the cash. It is totally worth it. It’s great quality. Easy to do diaper changes especially with the double zipper. Feels durable with great stretchiness but not to heavy. And I went with the larger size and my 14 pound baby fits perfectly in it.

I read the top “most helpful” review here and it sounded just like my son. So I’ll provide background for parents who are looking through these comments to see whether it would actually work for their baby.My son loved to be swaddled and had been swaddled for 4 months straight. He was a great sleeper, sleeping some nights 9-10 hours straight at a very young age. It was never always 9-10 hours but we would get those nights a lot. At the start of the fourth month we noticed he would start to get angry and frustrated that he couldn’t get his arms out of his swaddles. Sometimes he would succeed and wiggling his arms out and immediately would pull them to his face and rub or scratch his face and wake up crying or as soon as he started falling asleep his arm falling to his side would wake him up. We couldn’t swaddle him much longer because he was getting so big and starting to attempt to arch his back and almost turn on his side out of his frustration to get his arms out.At the end of month 4, we started to do the one arm in one arm one method and it didn’t really work for us. He would usually sleep one 5-6 hour stretch. Again, he’d be angry he had one arm swaddled and would fixate on trying to get it out and get angry he couldn’t. We then tried going cold turkey for a week and we were miserable. It felt like the newborn days again, constant crying and waking every 2-3 hours. I desperately looked online for a solution because we 1) couldn’t swaddle his arms down anymore 2) couldn’t leave his arms out or he’d scratch a and rub his face and wake up or his arm falling to his side would wake him up 3) we couldn’t have his arms able to freely move within (arms up position) because he have never slept like that before and hated it and criedI found this sleep suit and that comment and saw all the similarities and I ordered it after 3 nights of constant 2-3 hour wakings and the brink of insanity. When I received it and put it in him obviously he looked adorable but yes my son runs hot and I had read all the concerns about overheating. We keep our house cold year round so we decided to go a few degrees colder and set the temp (it’s June) to 68°. I put socks on his feet to keep his feet warm, only put on a undershirt onsie for him and tried it out.I couldn’t believe it! HE SLEPT 10 HOURS. I could not believe it I definitely thought it wa as one night fluke. He did awake twice during the night and cried but as soon as I would walk over to the kitchen grab his bottle and come back ( about 2 minutes) he’d be fast asleep again. I also felt him in the morning when I woke up, his body was not overly hot, it felt like a nice warm temperature along with his feet. His hands were freezing though but I had read maybe it’s okay? This morning as I write this is night #2 - the true test in my opinion. I put him to bed at 9:30 and it’s 7:45 now and he’s still sleeping. So yes, I do believe in magic lol. I’m so grateful for this suit. We needed sleep and he did too. Even if your baby is bigger (5 months) just try it out! But please make sure to keep your house cold for hot little ones!

This suit actually did help my son with sleep.

This sleepsuit has been a lifesaver. My baby started sleeping so much better once we started using it. The material is soft and breathable, and I love how easy diaper changes are with the double zipper. It really helped with the transition out of the swaddle and gave both me and my baby much better nights. Highly recommend to any parent struggling with sleep!

When it comes to fussy babies our 11 week old was a 10/10 fussy baby. He did not sleep longer than 3 hours night or day. Suffered from terrible colic, gas, and it seemed like he would cry, scream or fuss if he wasn’t sleeping. After using the baby Merlin’s magic sleepsuit, everything has changed and we now have such a happy baby that is sleeping overnight! His first night he slept almost 10 hours in an 11 hour period with his first stretch was 7 hours!I initially ordered the suit a size too small and since the reviews looked amazing, I immediately ordered the next size up for overnight delivery. I was planning on returning the smaller suit but after seeing how well it works, we have decided to keep it and gift it to our expecting family member. I can’t say enough about how amazing this suit is and I will continue to tell everyone I know about it.I was so excited about my baby’s sleep, I took a screenshot of his sleep cycle and sent it to his grandparents. I’ve uploaded here as well!

My son was waking up every 1-2 hours every single night even at 6 MONTHS. Out of complete desperation I bought this sleep suit because I remembered a friend mentioned it helped her baby. The same night we used it my son slept almost 9 HOURS STRAIGHT. Be careful if you’re doing EBF because that stretch could’ve absolutely led to a mastitis, but oh my god this suit was a total game-changer and has given me (and my son) back so much sleep. From what I’ve heard YMMV but definitely worth a shot because you may have a miracle happen too!
