When A Baby Rolls, Is It Possible To Utilize Magic Merlin?

The Magic Sleepsuit is a sleepwearing device designed for babies aged 3 to 6 months. It retains heat and may be difficult to wean off, but it can be used until the baby starts rolling over. The suit is not cheap and should be discontinued once the baby begins to roll or show signs of wanting to roll over while wearing it. This is typically a sign that babies are ready for more freedom of movement in their sleep.

For babies who can roll in the Merlin, it should be stopped for all sleep episodes as directed by the manufacturer. For babies who cannot yet roll in the Merlin, a tight swaddle (where their hands and arms aren’t free) is no longer safe for sleeping. Once the baby is rolling in the Merlin, transitioning to the Baby Merlin Dream Sack allows for greater freedom of movement while still providing the necessary support.

The Magic Sleepsuit should also be used in a room at an appropriate temperature for babies—between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. If the baby rolls over during floor play and in regular clothing, it is advised to stop using the suit. Many caregivers report that the Magic Sleepsuit makes it harder for their babies to roll over, and the manufacturer’s website supports this anecdotal evidence.

What if baby rolls on stomach while sleeping but can’t roll back?

Babies often wake up when they roll onto their tummy and feel stuck. If they wake up and start to fuss, give them a moment to see if they can roll back on their own. If they become distressed, gently roll them back onto their back with soothing words or a gentle pat.

Navigating the transition from a stationary baby to one that can roll over can be challenging, but following the AAP guidelines and encouraging supervised tummy time can help develop the necessary skills.

Winter cold environments require warmer clothing for babies, with room temperatures between 68°F and 72°F being ideal. To determine TOG ratings of baby clothing, check the tags or online listings or the company’s website. However, fabrics can be deceptive, making it difficult to determine the rating. It’s advisable to consult the manufacturer’s statement for accurate TOG ratings, as fabrics can be misleading. Keeping room temperature between these temperatures can help your baby sleep better and wake up refreshed.

What to do when baby starts rolling in sleep?

If your baby is asleep on their stomach in the middle of the night, it’s okay to roll over as long as they’re placed in their crib on their back.

Do babies get hot in the Magic Merlin suit?

Merlin’s sleepsuit is designed to protect babies from overheating by providing a light layer, like a cotton onesie, while they sleep. The recommended age for Merlin’s sleepsuit is 3 to 6 months when the baby starts rolling over, as a tight swaddle is no longer safe for sleeping. This developmental leap can coincide with an infant’s 3 to 4-month sleep regression. Hope Frazier, a pediatric sleep consultant and founder of In Heavenly Peace Sleep, suggests that the baby’s sleep change at this age is forward-moving, letting go of their newborn sleep and shifting into their adult sleeping patterns with lighter stages of sleep. This can lead to waking up every few hours, which is why the suit was chosen for transitioning out of a swaddle.

The Merlin sleepsuit is designed exclusively for back sleeping, so when the baby’s abs are strong enough to roll over while in the sleepsuit, it’s time to say goodbye. Babies should sleep in the suit in any other position than on their back. If the baby seems to be “fighting” the suit, trying to roll in it, or acting fussy or squirmy at bedtime, it’s time to move on and give their bodies more freedom.
