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.
The Magic Merlin Sleep Suit has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from guests, highlighting its effectiveness in helping babies transition from swaddles to independent sleep. Many guests report significant improvements in their baby's sleep patterns, with some experiencing longer stretches of sleep right from the first night. The suit is praised for its cozy design, allowing for movement while providing a sense of security. It is a popular choice for parents looking for a reliable sleep solution for their little ones.

Lifechanging
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 ☺️

BUY IT
I had heard so many good stories about the Merlin and just thought it was too good to be true. I bought it when my baby started the sleep regression desperate for her to get those full nights of rest again. She started sleeping through the night again as soon as we put her in it…truly magic! We are both getting a full nights rest again. 100% worth the money!

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.

We were struggling to get our baby to stay asleep when we could no longer use standard swaddles. Tried a few different options but the Merlin was the best by far! Now he sleeps through the night and wake rested and happy. Only note of improvement is to make it easier to take off for night diaper changes. Since our baby is sleeping through the night, it’s not a big issue for us though

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!!!!
