Baby Merlin's Microfleece Baby Swaddle Transition Product

My baby boy is extremely active always flailing his arms and legs around, and has an intense startle reflex. We started swaddling him with the miracle blanket b/c he could get out of all other swaddles. He is now 3 months and is getting too big to be swaddled, and wakes himself up grunting trying to get his arms free...yet I tried to let him sleep unswaddled and it was a nightmare. He was crying and up every hour unable to sleep. In comes in this magical sleepsuit, that a friend recommended to me. I ordered the yellow in small first. The first night I put him in it he was overtired and cranky, crying, and as soon as I zipped up the suit he was immediately calm. I put him down for bedtime, and in just few minutes he was off to dreamland. Amazing as it usually takes me an hour to get him down. The first night he woke his usual times, bed at 7pm, then up 2am and then 5am. When he woke up though he was calm and went right back to sleep which is unusual for him...usually he wakes up crying. The second night, he slept till 4:30, then he slept till wake up at 7:30. One less night feeding! Now, he is sleeping through the night!!! I know it is this suit. I heard him wake up and go right back to sleep after. To top it off, I have never been able to get him to nap in his crib, only his swing. Well I put this suit on him for morning nap just to see what would happen, he smiled, I laid him down in his crib and he happily took a nap for the first time ever in his crib! I cant believe it. He loves having his hands free but this suit makes him feel cozy...he always wants to be held for sleep. I now bought the blue in the large size as I want two of these to rotate, he is about 16lbs and fits into both fine, has room to grow into the large. I am so grateful to the woman that created this suit! It is made well, soft, and really does work! Happy mommy here! Most importantly...happy baby! I will be buying these for all my mommy to be friends now.

My first baby would break out of the swaddle (miracle blanket) almost every night (if he wasn't wrapped perfectly) so I looked into making my own larger miracle blanket and even cut up a flannel king-sized flat sheet into large swaddle blankets. He was a sensitive baby and a poor sleeper. I hated diaper changes and feeds because of the long unwrapping and wrapping process. I was pretty sleep-deprived and desperate so I searched and searched online back in 2010 and found the Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit, so I went ahead and ordered 2. Sure they are not as cheap but I think you usually get what you pay for. They are well-made and durable. This was certainly worth a try for all the pain and suffering every night. I think this was when he was 2-3 months old (I ordered a small) when I was also moving him from the seemingly wonderful Rock n Play (wonderful but awful because of causing his flat head) to the crib. Guess what? It really worked because his sleep dramatically improved. He slept longer at nights. I also think he was probably too cold in all the other clothing I put him in prior to the sleepsuit (I stupidly followed SIDS recommendations and turned on my AC full blast, so he was probably freezing all the time). I ended up loaning the suits to several friends who all reported similar results. The suits really last many washes. The seams are all still intact and the suits still look great. I really was hesistant to do it again for our second baby because I really wanted her to learn to self-soothe with her hands, but she can easily stick her hands in her mouth with it on! I also didn't want to slow down any motor skill development like rolling over, but I also didn't want her rolling over and not being able to sleep! So, I really do think this can work very well for all babies. It doesn't cure every problem, but it helps to extend sleep. If your baby has reflux, you may try the suit on nap nanny or you might elevate the head of the crib mattress 30 degrees and place a u-shaped towel underneath a knit crib sheet (I think all babies like this). About drying it -- yes, it takes a little while, but that's why I would get two. To speed up the process, turn it inside out.

I bought this for my granddaughter. This is my daughter’s review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TOTAL. GAME. CHANGER. We cannot say enough good things about the Magic Sleepsuit. It has been an absolute lifesaver in our house. Our baby went from fighting sleep and waking herself up constantly to falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer — and that’s priceless. The gentle, cozy structure of the suit helps calm her little startle reflex without restricting her, and she looks so comfortable and snug in it. Bedtime has become so much smoother, and naps are more consistent too. It truly gives her that secure, “held” feeling while still being safe for independent sleep. Within just a few nights, we noticed a big difference. She settles quicker, sleeps more soundly, and wakes up happier. As new parents, getting longer stretches of sleep has made such a difference for our whole family. If you’re on the fence — get it. We wish we had started sooner. Absolute 10/10. 💛

Absolute game changer when transitioning out of traditional swaddle! Our little one just started rolling, but still has the startle reflex. He went from sleeping atleast eight hours straight at night, to waking up almost every hour when when stopped swaddling his arms. With the sleep suit, it’s thick enough that he stays warm and it helps eliminate the startle reflex, but his hands and feet are out should he need to self soothe or lift himself up if he rolls.

This is a miracle worker. I bought it for my 2-month-old grandson, who could not sleep in the bassinet at night for more than the first 2 hours after putting him down. The first night we used this with him, he was able to go back to sleep after each feeding in the bassinet. He went from needing to be held all night to sleep to a schedule of sleeping all night, waking up only 2x to eat. The whole family is sleeping now! And it works for his naps as well. I highly recommend. I just wish there was a lighter-weight model for the upcoming summer months, as I would buy it as well.

Our 4-month old went from crying every hour to sleeping for hours once we switched to this sleep suit! He LOVED being swaddled, but once he started rolling, I switched him to a sleep sack. We went through the worst few nights of his life. He would NOT sleep without the swaddle. I was desperate. I tried other types of sleepers, not none did the trick. Until this one. From night 1, there has been a huge improvement in his sleep. He’s even slept through the night a couple times! He’s now 6.5 months, and it’s still the only way he will sleep at night. He’s knows his routine and won’t fall asleep without the magic sleep suit. It’s been worth every penny several times over!

My baby has used the Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit for five months. I wanted to wait until she had transitioned out of the suit to write this review so I could be as informative and thorough as possible. I bought this suit after doing much research and wanting some sleep when my daughter was around 2.5 months old. She has always been a big baby so she met the weight requirements before she turned three months old. We then purchased the next size up when she was around four months old. Here is my honest review of the product: Pros- After being in the suit for around two weeks, my daughter started sleeping through the night at three months old for ten hours. This was amazing because I had returned to work and was sleep deprived. She started rolling over at around two months but could not roll over in the suit. I was very afraid of her rolling onto her stomach during her sleep and the suit prevented her from doing this. She seemed to like it, and it made her feel cozy and cuddled all night. I tried transitioning her out before we bought the bigger suit but she was still not ready. Her startle reflex was still very prevalent so we waited.. and waited. After sleeping in the suit for five weeks (through the night), she began waking once a night and then twice a night. Sometimes it would be more and sometimes less but she for sure quit sleeping through the night. Cons- I think my husband and I kept her in the suit for WAY too long. I was afraid to take her out because everytime I did, she screamed for long periods of time. I think if we would have just allowed her to learn to sleep on her on, she would have gotten the hang of sleeping through the night much sooner. Now at over 7 months old, she is finally out of the suit and sleeping through the night again. I think the suit prevented her from sleeping through the night as she got older because she needed more sleep. Overall, I think every baby is different, and I have read many reviews of how great the suit has worked for them. It worked for my daughter for a while but then was the cause of her waking up I think. We should have transitioned her out sooner. With our next child, we will go straight from swaddling to sleeping in a sleep sack, which is what she sleeps in now.

BABY SLEEP SUIT & MICRO-FLEECE SWADDLE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS) Highly recommend this infant sleep suit for all babies who sleep best when swaddled securely and tightly. If your child rests most soundly when they are tightly bundled yet manage to wiggle their way out of their blanket swaddle, this microfleece sleepsuit is for you! My children have all loved being zipped up into this sleepsuit and have all seemed to find it cozy and comfortable. I’ve found that my kids all slept longer stints and more soundly when wearing this swaddle. They also fall asleep faster with less tossing and turning and uncomfortability prior to falling fast asleep. My son preferred solely wearing his diaper under the sleepsuit as an infant whereas my girls preferred to be in pajamas and then tucked into this magic sleepsuit. It provides the infants with a secure and tight fitting swaddle and almost acts as a weighted blanket for the child to optimize sleep. The only downside is the washing and cleaning of this product. We machine wash it along with other baby clothing however, we don’t dry it as it will tighten and shrink. It takes a solid 12 hours to fully air dry once machine washed so be mindful of this when doing laundry. The inside area by the legs and bottom region takes the longest to completely and fully dry, so we unzip the suit and hang it with the front flap open, once the wash cycle is complete, to ensure the inside dries completely. No one wants to be stuck without their child’s favorite sleep swaddle when bedtime rolls around, so be mindful when laundering.
