According to the retailer, The Magic Sleepsuit is designed to be introduced at approximately three months of agewhen babies are transitioning from the swaddle or smaller sleep space. Proper fit and timing of introduction are critical to the safety and effectiveness of the Magic Sleepsuit.” How long can baby wear the Magic Merlin suit?

Double Zippers. The double zippers allow the sleepsuit to open up all the way to slide your baby in and out easily. It’s less of a hassle than most swaddle blankets. It can feel like just when you find the perfect swaddle for him, he’s too big and ready to transition to something else! Many parents choose to transition from the swaddle to a sleeping suit for babies. The baby’s room should be at the recommended temperature — which is on the cooler side.

At 18-21 lbs, a 2-month-old would be 6-9 lbs heavier than the average, placing him way off the charts.

Typically, if babies are transitioned out of the Magic Sleepsuit when they are ready, the transition goes smoothly. The very first time we used it our baby took his longest nap ever, and the first night did not wake up in the middle of the night. This was HUGE for us.

It took us from exhausted parents who could never set our baby down to sleep, to having no idea what to do with our “free time” during his naps. Does the type of filling or materials used to accomplish “heaviness” have any bearing on the garment’s safety? However, once baby does start to roll or attempt to roll while IN the sleep suit, it is time to transition them out to a different wearable blanket or no sleep tool at all. Will Baby Get Too Hot In Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit?Would you need a blanket in the room? If yes, your baby may benefit from a wearable blanket (no loose blankets in the crib!) Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit was created by a pediatric physical therapist and a mom who, just like all of us, just wanted her baby to sleep better at night. It’s reasonable to assume, not only based on the wording of the patent—but how this product is marketed—that the heft of the suit is part of its unique selling point. However, once babies can roll over on their own it’s no longer safe to swaddle your baby for sleep. This is because they need to be able to use their hands to help push their face up off the mattress if they roll to their tummy while sleeping.

But what I did find was that he went to sleep easier throughout the night after his wakings. Small win, but I’ll take it! Infants really need to be developmentally ready and big enough to move from the swaddle to the sleep suit and see success. This worked for us but you must discuss with your own pediatrician to make a safe plan for your baby - every baby develops differently and has different needs. For us, co-sleeping, with Hudson in our bedroom or in our bed, resulted in a very exhausted family.

The AAP says rolling often happens around 2 months, and the CDC considers rolling to be a 6-month milestone. Cozy. This sleepsuit is so cozy! Hudson just looks so cozy in it and it’s so nice to snuggle up with our “little puffball” when he’s wearing it. When I was in those early days I felt so overwhelmed by all of the baby sleep opinions, guidelines and products floating around out there. Add in some sleep deprivation and the new staggering responsibility of taking care of this tiny human, making a decision can feel nearly impossible. I first heard about the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit from Taking Cara Babies. I adore all of Cara’s courses and really feel like they changed my life, but we’ll save that story for another day.
