![]() Where to buy the Baby Merlin Magic Sleep Suit: You can buy this product on the company website or on Amazon for the same price. Many have had good success using this during the transition out of swaddle, and from swing/Rock ‘n Play to crib. Personal thoughts: I heard about this product through some of the parents in our private Facebook support group. Unlike a blanket or sleep sack, the Magic Sleepsuit provides a cozy weighted sensation that muffles the startle reflex. The solution: The Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit helps bridge this uncomfortable transition as its 3 layers of fabric keep baby feeling cozy and contained. They may be too big for a swaddling blanket, yet are still being awakened regularly due to their startle reflex. The problem: The transition from swaddle to regular blanket or even sleep sack can be tricky for fussy babies. Where to buy the Tranquilomat: You can buy the Tranquilomat on the company website, or on Amazon for around $10 more (with free shipping). In fact, you can even hold your baby while using it, or place it in or around your baby wrap or sling. Personal thoughts: While my babies never tolerated those little vibrating bouncy seats, I like that you can use the tranquilomat in conjunction with other soothing products. The solution: The tranquilomat is a lightweight, portable soothing option parents can use in swings, cribs, rockers, bouncy seats or on the floor to provide a gentle vibration and white noise for fussy babies. Swings and rockers can be great to help mimic the movements of the womb, however they can be difficult to transport. They are used to the feel and sounds of the womb, so may not sleep well on a cold, stationary crib mattress. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block (a MUST-read if your little one has colic!), newborns are in their “fourth trimester”. Where to buy the Babocush: You can buy the Babocush on the company website. I have been amazed at all the positive reviews the company is getting on Facebook! Keep in mind that you should never leave your baby unattended on the Babocush, and the company stresses that this is a soothing mechanism, not a sleep aid (“back to sleep”). I asked her some questions about it, and then started following Babocush on Facebook. ![]() Personal thoughts: The inventor of this product, Kerry Nevins, emailed me to let me know about this product. And the best part? The Babocush can be attached to a bouncy seat or rocker for added movement and soothing. The solution: The Babocush addresses this issue by safely holding your baby in a tummy down position, all the while producing a gentle vibration and heartbeat sound. ![]() However, most baby seats and bouncers only allow you to place your baby on his or her back. This is particularly true of infants suffering with gas or reflux. The problem: Fussy or colicky newborns are often soothed by being placed on their tummies or in a side-lying position. This means I receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking through. *Please note: Some of the links below are affiliate links. ![]() I would LOVE to hear if any of these have worked for you! While I can’t vouch for any of these products personally, they were interesting and innovative enough that I felt they were worth mentioning! Most baby products – even baby soothing products – don’t seem fast enough, loud enough or strong enough for our intense, persistent little kids.īut as I’ve been hearing about new products, I’ve been taking notes. ![]() New products are constantly coming across my desk, and to be honest, I don’t give most a second look. As you may have noticed, there are many products that sound great…until you actually bring them home and try them. I’m regularly asked which products I recommend for fussy, colicky and high need babies and toddlers. ![]()
