Q: I wanna try this but do the sleeves keep baby from the startle movement or how does this work exactly?
submitted by Di - 6 years ago
A: It kept my at the time 1 month old asleep better than the swaddleme, it allowed him to move his arms as he wanted but not to fast or sudden.
submitted byNSariego - 6 years ago
A: The Sleepsuit is designed with 3 layers of fabric to give babies a cozy, comfy feeling for transitioning out of the swaddle. The Sleepsuit is not weighted but is effective for muffling the startle reflexes. Please contact us directly if you have any product questions. magicsleepsuit@gmail.com or 877-458-0130.

Q: what temp should I keep my house? my baby wears a footies pj set and a light weight sleep sack right now. I want to start him on the suit but I'm afraid he'll over heat now that we are going into summ
submitted by kylie - 4 years ago
A: Thank you for your inquiry.
The Magic Sleepsuit is designed to be used in accordance with the safe sleep guidelines including the ABCs of sleep (Alone, Back, Crib) and in a room at the AAP recommended temperature for babies, which is on the cooler side. It is designed with open hands and feet, which allows baby’s heat to dissipate as they sleep. We recommend dressing the baby in a diaper or a onesie under the Magic Sleepsuit - no more than one layer of light cotton.

Q: What is the TOG on this sleepsuit.
submitted by AP - 5 years ago
A: There is not a Tog rating on the Magic Sleepsuit as there are with sleep sacks and swaddles due to the fact that it is designed with open hands and feet that allows your baby's heat to dissipate while they sleep. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, please contact us directly with any additional product questions. magicsleepsuit@gmail.com or 1-877-458-0130.

Q: What do you recommend for the next product to transition of out the sleep suit? My 5 months is about to be too big for it but it has been amazing
submitted by Kal - 5 years ago
A: We recommend the Magic Dream Sack. It is a wearable blanket made from the same materials as the Magic Sleepsuit so that babies can continue to sleep well in the cozy fabrics they have grown to Love. By using the same material and two layers of fabric to create a comfy and secure feeling, the Baby Merlin ‘s Dream Sack provides your baby with a familiar sleep environment.

Q: Is this safe to let them wear in a bassinet?
submitted by Nicolecp - 5 years ago
A: Because babies' arms and legs are in the outstretched position when wearing The Magic Sleepsuit, their sleep area should be large enough so their arms and legs do not touch the side of the sleep space. Smaller sleep spaces can cause the fabric to shift. Many parents transition to a larger sleep space at the same time they are transitioning to The Magic Sleepsuit.

Q: my baby is going on 4 months on 12/24/2020 and he is chunky and weighs you can say 20 pounds. which one do i get ? i need to start leaving is arms out.
submitted by AmandaN - 5 years ago
A: Proper fit and timing of introduction are essential to the success of the Magic Sleepsuit. A good rule of thumb to use regarding sizing is to match the Magic Sleepsuit size to the clothing he wears consistently outside of the crib. When he is wearing 3-6 month clothing, the 3-6 month Magic Sleepsuit will be a better fit. Likewise, the 6-9 month Sleepsuit fits better when your little one is wearing 6-9 month clothing. The baby's weight and size of clothing are more important factors than length as the hands and feet are open by design.

Q: My 8 week old is almost 15 pounds, is it okay to try at 8 weeks old? My older son was rolling over by 3 months so just not sure if it makes sense waiting or is trying now will work/ be okay since she meets weight measurements.
submitted by Rainbow Baby - 6 years ago
A: At 8 weeks, she is still on the very young side to introduce as her startle reflex may still be too strong. Most parents introduce at 3 months when transitioning from the swaddle. We recommend keeping a close eye on her as she become more mobile inside to ensure she can’t wiggle out. Many times when parents introduce early they have a short period of great success as she is so cozy, then when they become more active the “Magic”wears off because it’s too big.

Q: 4 month old has started to roll over. Is this safe to wear?
submitted by KB - 6 years ago
A: It is recommended that babies transition out of the Magic Sleepsuit when they can roll over while wearing it, or seem to be trying to roll over in it. This is a sign they are ready for the next stage of sleep of having more freedom of movement. The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for back sleeping in the bare crib from the swaddle transition stage until babies are ready for that next stage of having more movement. Often babies will roll while awake and out of the Magic Sleepsuit well before they are able to roll over while in it.

Q: Does my baby need to be a certain weight to wear this?
submitted by SAK - 6 years ago
A: Our minimum weight for the 3-6 month size suit is 12 lbs. Proper fit is very important to the safety and function of the Magic Sleepsuit.

I had just stopped swaddling and my daughter would not sleep in her crib at all. It was 5 days in a row of her sleeping on me in a chair - I couldn’t do it anymore and was sleeping terribly. I was recommended by numerous mom friends to buy this and it worked the first nap I used it one. Honestly no words I could cry. Just make sure your AC is cool so they don’t overheat ☺️

AAP not recimnended due to SIDS
My baby liked sleeping in it but it’s much too hot. The AAP don’t recommend it due to increased risk of SIDS.. overheating and rolling hazard. Kept me up all night worrying about his temperature and yes he was sweating in it with only one small layer of clothing on. Plus the design makes o changing so difficult.

Twins sleep like angels
I’ve heard so many great things about the magic sleep suit. I spent a lot of time reading reviews where people would say their baby slept through the night blah blah blah and anyways it sold me. I have 3 month old twins, prior to wearing the sleep suit they were waking up one time at night to eat so generally already good sleepers. Now that they’ve worn the suit for a week, they’ve slept through the night every single night!!!!

Absolute life saver you NEED THIS
I was a huge skeptic of this and thought it was just another way to get new moms to spend money…. Boy was I wrong. This thing truly is magic. We’re in the 4 month old trenches with teething and sleep regression, and the first night we tried this she slept 10 HOURS. I had to literally wake her up. She absolutely loves it, it’s so squishy and cozy and she falls right asleep when I put her in it. Absolute must buy.

Magic!!!
My 4 month old has always been a good sleeper but would wake up at 2am wanting a pacifier to soothe him back to sleep and my first night with him wearing it to bed he slept through the night sound asleep. I woke up multiple times to check on him cause he was so quiet. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting more sleep or just to help your baby sleep better!!! I was skeptical at first but now I'm a believer!!!

Life saver!!
My baby boy (7 weeks) struggles to fall asleep in a swaddle always fighting it during the night and not allowing him to sleep. We bought this a couple nights ago and hoping for the best to help give him and us, some much needed sleep! It freakin worked! Although it fits him a little big, I think the fact that it keeps him still (not flailing his arms) and super warm allows him to sleep for extended periods for his age without fussing! 😭

Lifesaver!
This is literally a lifesaver! I bought this for my almost 2 month old baby because she never wanted to be swaddled. I have tried so many products to calm her startle reflex and nothing worked! She is still small for this and she puts her legs up still but I gave it a few days and she was able to adjust to it. But literally the day that I bought it and first day she used it, she had a really great sleep! I wish they have one for a newborn though!

Bought this to transition my daughter out of her other swaddle. She likes feeling cuddled and secure so this was the perfect option after trying many. It hasn’t given us 8 hour stretches just yet, but we don’t have any complaints! My sister used it too

Solution for Restless Sleepers
I never write reviews, but this sleepsiit is a life-saver! Our 11 week old (she is tall so this fit well) baby girl was struggling to transition out of the swaddle. She would startle and flail violently all night long. She could not settle. We were desperate and decided to try this based on other reviews. Our first night using the Magic Sleepsuit she slept for 6.5 hours straight! She continues to sleep for 5-6 hours and then 2-3 more after eating every night. We just do a short-sleeve onesie underneath and keep the room at 68 degrees. With hands/feet out, there are no issues with overheating. We also use an Owlet sock for peace of mind because I was worried about such a bulky sleepsuit. If your baby is doing karate all night long, just buy this now!
