Magic Sleepsuit

My LO loves sucking her hands when she is tired, but with the suit she obviously cannot do this. Those of you who have used the suit who have a LO who suck their hands for comfort- did you have any success with the suit?

DS can still suck his hands while in the Magic Sleepsuit.

Sorry, hope it didn't sound like I was saying, "Look what my kid can do"

I actually thought you had a typo and you were saying LO can't get to the hands in a swaddle, does the Magic Sleepsuit help with that?

My mistake!

What if you left one arm free, would that make a difference?

Linzr0723

haha I didn't mean to make it seem like I thought that...to be honest I only tried it once and she couldn't make the arms bend, so I did actually take an arm out and it seemed like it confused her having one hand free and the other one not, so then I tried letting both out and just having her legs all snug in there and then she just got pissed!  So I decided I would give it a try another night

Mine can also bring his hands to his face in the suit. He cannot roll over in it, though, and he can without it on.

Tell me about this suit..can they still lift arms and legs? My LO always wakes up when she startles herself with her legs she has always moved her arms around and it doesn't bother her

It has always worked well for DS.  They can lift their legs/arms, but it's harder to do so, like imagine putting them to sleep in a snowsuit.

Mine still manages to scratch his face...so hands in the mouth is no issue.  Is your baby small?  Maybe when he/she grows a bit it will be better??

skip the suit, it's just another crutch and sleep assocation you have to break later. I went right to a sleep sack and we're doing fine.  Has it been easy?  No, but DD's learning to sleep on her own and I think that is most important.
