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. Since the move, we all sleep better and have adequate rest so we know it was the right decision for our little family. What’s The Final Verdict? We struggled so much in those early weeks with sleep because he was so teeny that nearly every swaddle blanket swallowed him whole. It wasn’t until we discovered the Ollie Swaddle that he finally started sleeping through the night. As we’ve discussed, this product is not meant for belly sleeping, so it makes very little sense to use it with a baby who is physically capable of rolling. For our family, the Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit was well worth it our children transitioned from the swaddle. It helped them continue to sleep well and sleep longer, even on vacation. It also helps with maintaining a parents peace of mind as well as help with that sleep deprivation all new parents are struggling with.

The product does not contain weighted materials like poly pellets or beads—however, its multiple layers render it one of the heaviest swaddle-like products on the market.

Unlike other transitional products on the market (including a sleep bag), the Merlin Magic Sleepsuit allows your baby to have their arms and legs free, but still be snug and secure because of the padded material. With our oldest we actually loved how warm and cozy it was, because he primarily wore it during the fall and winter. With our youngest, he began wearing his in the spring, and we live in the South, so we needed to pay extra attention to his room temperature.As you can see, the Merlin weighs more than its super lightweight counterparts, Zipadee-Zip and Love to Dream.
