Seriously this was so worth the money! I read a lot of the positive reviews and hoped I would have a similar experience. My 4 month old hasn't been napping well because I no longer swaddle him in the day. He named 30 minutes almost to the minute and would startle and wake. He would wake tired and grumpy and it was horrible as he wouldn't want to be left in the crib to re-fall asleep. My friend told me about this suit as a transition from swaddling. I was so willing to try even though the price didn't make my husband happy. I told him $40 for my sanity was a small price to pay. The package arrived after my sons morning nap (of 30 minutes). I put him in the suit for his next nap. Of course he was adorable in this big suit, like man other reviews said. I couldn't help but smile. He napped for 3 hours!!!!! 3 hours!! Right there is was worth the money. his 3rd nap of the day he slept for 60 minutes! That night was the first night we ever let him sleep unsaddled. The night was horrible. My son could still reach his hands well to try and comfort himself. It was a disaster. I'm blaming a good part of that to his pacifier issues as well - although with a swaddle they weren't as bad. The second night was a complete turn around!! He slept the night waking once to nurse and then waking at his normal time in the morning!!! It was the second night he was out of our room. I'm sold and so happy for this suit. It's not a complete fix all, but I'd say 90% of a fixer!
My son is 4 months old and 1 week. He is less than 2% in height and 25% in weight. So small. The suit fits him sell. The collar goes down nice and low as to not disturb the neck from moving and getting into the babies mouth. the arms and legs are open. I was thinking I would put socks on my son, but his feet actually don't even stick out! The arms are perfect going down to his wrists, but shortening when he brings his hands to his mouth. The fleece is very soft and great quality. I haven't washed it yet so not sure if that will change?
Already after 2 days my son seems to realize as I put him in this suit he's getting ready to sleep. Kind of like starting to swaddle a baby, they know and start to calm down and relax a bit.
The suit is not ridged. I worried the suit would be stiff, but it's not. It might be the warmth and weigh on the child that helps? Whatever it is it works. Not restrictive if you're worried about that. I'm able to put my son in this and nurse him and stick him in bed.
