Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The decision shouldn’t be should you or shouldn’t you buy this sleep suit, it should be what size, color, and fabric. Size: Get the right size! What makes it work is that it inhibits movement. Their arms shouldn’t be able to move enough to get startled awake by the Moro reflex. And it should be snug. As one friend put it, it’s like a thunder coat for babies. Look at the website for more info about the suit and sizing. Go by weight and not months if your baby is on the big or small side. Temperature control: One issue is heat. For summer, put your baby in it with nothing but a diaper. For warm fall, just a onesie with no pants or socks. Cool fall, onesie no pants with socks. Winter, onesie with pants and socks or a sleep and play. The overheating issue is primarily a concern in summer time. To check if your baby is hot, stick a finger behind their neck. If you feel any sweat, they’re too hot. Fabric: cotton or micro fleece? So the thing is, if you go to the website you will learn that there is no difference in the suits except for the exterior. So they feel exactly the same on the inside. For those who prefer all cotton be warned - you will not be able to dry it, and you will come to rely on it so heavily that you’ll want to be able to wash and dry it in a day. You’ll want it to be washed and dried for bedtime if the baby has a blowout in it during their afternoon nap. The microfleece one can be dried on low. Price: Some parents balk at the price. Seems like a costly risk if it might not work for you. 1. It most likely will, no worries. 2. These things sell fast secondhand on Mommy boards and parent list-serves. I got my first second hand. A cream colored cotton one 3-6 months. Then purchased this blue fleece one 6-9 months. Planning on selling both when I’m done. This suit always puts my son to sleep. Even when he’s overtired we can put him in the suit and then in the carrier and he’ll be out in about 5 minutes. It’s magic!
