Magic water painting is a popular activity among children that combines creativity and entertainment. It involves the use of a special set of paper and a magic brush that is filled with water. When the brush is used to paint on the paper, beautiful colors magically appear. The magic water painting set typically includes a pad of white paper that is coated with a special material that changes color when it comes into contact with water. The brush is usually made of a material that absorbs water, such as a sponge or a bristle brush, and is designed to hold enough water to create vibrant colors on the paper. To use the magic water painting set, all one needs to do is dip the brush in water and start painting on the special paper.

How to transition out of the Magic Merlin Sleepsuit

It goes without saying that the Magic Merlin sleep suit is a favorite at Tweet Dreamzz. Both of Lindsay's twins and Stellina's twins were fan favorites!

In this article, Stellina is sharing her experience with the "magic" sleepsuit!

With all 3 of my children, I utilized the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit. The “Magic Merlin” is a swaddle transition product – meaning it should be introduced when your child is transitioning out of the swaddle (typically around 3 months old).

It’s a great product for so many reasons. It allows your baby to still feel snuggled like they were in a swaddle, however it gives them enough freedom to move their arms and legs, while allowing them the ability to use their hands for soothing.

It also lessens their moro reflex, also known as their “startle reflex”. Not to mention how adorable they look while wearing the suit!

Reasons to Transition Out of the Magic Merlin Sleepsuit

1. Once the fit is too small/tight

2. Once your baby is showing signs of attempting to roll in the suit

3. Once your baby can physically roll IN the Magic Merlin you MUST stop use immediately for safety purposes.

4. Read up on the founders safety tips when using the sleepsuit.

Options to drop the Magic Merlin Sleepsuit

Gradual method

Keep the Merlin for naps and transition into a sleep sack for the first time at bedtime.

Do this for a week and then transition to using only a sleep sack.

The hope is that your baby will not be overtired due to potential nap protests because of an abrupt change from what they are used to.

*To be used if your child has not rolled in the Merlin yet

Cold turkey method

Just what is sounds like.

Simply switch to a sleep sack of choice.

You may see a sleep regression here, but it should be rather short lived, especially if your baby has already learned independent sleep skills.

The sleep regression may occur because the Magic Merlin has become a sleep prop for your baby, and they will need to get used having more freedom in their crib.

My Experience Transitioning out of the Magic Merlin Sleep Suit

I have experienced transitioning my own 3 babies out of the Magic Merlin sleep suit.

I recently transitioned my six-month-old son from the Magic Merlin, into the Hudson Baby long sleeve sleep sack. With my son, it was a forced transition, since he rolled in the Magic Merlin sleep suit.

One night, I looked at the monitor, and there he was, laying on his belly. I knew from that moment, I had to make the switch. The team at Magic Sleepsuit is dedicated on safety, so again, if you have questions about safe sleep while wearing the suit, visit their site to learn more!

I was anxious about making this transition because I knew he relied heavily on the Merlin for uninterrupted sleep. It had become part of our routine, and it certainly lessened his startle reflex.

Also, he was still unable to roll from belly to back during the day. He would constantly get “stuck” in tummy time, no matter how much I practiced during the day, or worked with him on how to roll back over onto his back.

With that being said, I am happy to report that it has now been 2 weeks since transitioning him out of the Magic Merlin and he’s doing great! I kept a record of what happened in those first few days/nights.

Our Transition out of the Merlin sleep suit

Day 1: Bedtime

It took him 40 minutes to fall asleep at night. He could definitely tell that he was not in the Magic Merlin anymore. He did get “stuck” on his belly, but instead of intervening immediately, I gave him some time to figure it out. He eventually fell asleep on his side.

He woke two times throughout the night 1AM & 3AM (likely since he had the freedom to roll), however he did put himself back to sleep!

Ultimately, he woke up and was out of his crib 30 minutes earlier than normal.

Day 2: Naps

It took him 20 minutes to fall asleep for each nap.

There was definitely some protest in the form of crying, however ultimately, he fell asleep on his belly.

His naps were shorter than normal, but he still slept so that was a win in my book!

Day 2: Bedtime

A much smoother night! He fell asleep much faster than night 1.

It seemed like the “novelty” of being able to roll/being in a sleep sack had worn off.

He did spend a few minutes rolling around; however, he ultimately fell asleep in 20 minutes without much protest.

Day 2: Naps

Naps were still a bit challenging, and it took him longer to fall asleep than it used to in the Merlin.

This is likely due to the fact that naps are simply just HARDER than night time sleep. He didn’t have melatonin on his side to help him fall asleep.

All in all, he did take his naps, but they weren’t as “heavy” as his usual Merlin naps.

Day 3: Bedtime out of the merlin sleep suit

Excellent night! He was definitely used to his sleep sack at this point. It seemed that he enjoyed the extra freedom of being able to decide his position of comfort.

He also miraculously learned how to roll from belly to back now! If a baby is strong enough to roll onto their belly at night, it is safe for them to sleep in that position, however, it did give me comfort seeing that he DID in fact learn this skill. Yay!

Day 3: Naps

I decided to shift his schedule a bit and offer his naps a bit later than I previously was doing.

I did this as an effort to increase sleep pressure.

Since he was out of the Merlin, I knew I needed to make sure his schedule was perfect, and that he was indeed tired enough to fall asleep on his own since he did not have the added help from the Merlin.

His naps were better on day 3.

He did still spend some extra time rolling around in his crib, however, it’s important to remember that time in the crib is STILL restful even if your baby isn’t sleeping the whole time (especially if they are happy!)

Day 2: Bedtime

The magic water painting set is a mess-free activity as it does not involve the use of paints or any other art supplies that can create a mess. Since it only requires water, it is also a safe and non-toxic activity for children to engage in. Additionally, the set is portable and can be easily carried around, making it an ideal activity for travel or outdoor play. One of the advantages of magic water painting is that the artwork is not permanent. As the water on the paper dries, the colors disappear, allowing children to paint over and over again. This encourages creativity and experimentation as children can create different designs and color combinations without the fear of making mistakes. Magic water painting has gained popularity due to its simplicity and the joy it brings to children. It helps develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for children to explore colors and engage in imaginative play. Overall, magic water painting is an enjoyable and educational activity that can be enjoyed by children of all ages..
