Merlin Magic Sleepsuit

[cilantro]

Holy shit.  What a world of difference.  I just had to rave for any sleep deprived parents of babies in the 3-7 month range.  My single biggest regret now is not getting this with my first...I'm already fearing the day he can roll in it and I then can't use it anymore.

Agreed. Love that thing. Can't wait until DD is big enough to use it. It worked wonders with DS.

Yay! Glad it's working for you. It reduced our wake ups from like 7-4 or so. I'll take it! Haha

It was amazing for DS2. Fantastic. We had to stop using it when he got a helmet at 6m and now most nights he sleeps like crap in his crib :-(

[meggers]

Agreed. We got it because she was breaking out of the swaddle and it was so highly recommended on here. It's seriously a miracle! My daycare was dubious about it until they tried it. DD went from no crib naps to 2-3 hour naps, falling asleep in 2 minutes.

It is now my go to gift for baby showers. I love that thing

When did you start using it? I have a 3 mo old and am feeling sleep deprived, though I understand I have a pretty good sleeper.

I have one somebody let me borrow - maybe I should try it? Won't he be too hot?

I worry about too hot too. DS2 gets sweaty in just a sleeper

No clothes underneath, have a fan on. My sweaty kid never seemed hot in it, and we started using it in late summer!

I admittedly have jacked up  the AC, which is perfect for us as we have kept it low for him before the suit and we prefer it high.   It's meant to be used around the three month mark which is where we are at.   It's....been magical.

It was a lifesaver for us as well. It looked so funny on her, but worked well!!

OMG, we LOVED this thing with DD.   Just this weekend she started rolling in it and getting stuck so we had to take her out.  it's been absolutely horrific ever since.   But she's 7 months, and we got about 3 full months out of it.  I really wish I was more comfortable with letting her just stay in it and roll, but I can't.  To be fair, she's getting stuck w/o the suit too, but I just feel worse about it.  Damnit Merlin makers!  Make a suit that babies can wear and roll in too.
