As mums, you want to have peace of mind, knowing that your baby is having the comfiest and safest sleep which is why we’re very excited to announce the BONDS Wondercool Zip Wondersuit Product Review!
Where we’re asking for MoM Members to trial the BONDS Wondercool Zip Wondersuit with their baby aged 0-12 months, and then share the review on this page.
BONDS Wondercool Zip Wondersuit has all the zippy features you know and love! A 2-way zip, comfy stretchy cotton, protective fold over cuffs and it’s made with an all new adaptive cooling fabric that keeps babies so comfy. Wondercool is the only baby clothing approved by Red Nose for safer sleep.
Did you know that babies can’t adjust to temperature changes as well as adults? Babies actually sweat less then us adults, meaning they generate more heat, reducing their ability to cool down. BONDS Wondercool works by imitating the skin’s natural bodily process of evaporative cooling, so when your bubs skin temperature heats up, the Wondercool technology activates to achieve cooling. When your bubs body heat lowers, the level of sweat is reduced and the cooling effect of the fabric adapts and deactivates once the cooling is complete, for a safer more comfortable sleep.
The Wondercool Zip Wondersuit features innovative Air Cuffs that maximise airflow and breathability to keep little hands and feet cool. Plus, BONDS’ iconic 2-way zip to make change time easy.
Where can I find BONDS Wondercool?
Available in a range of modern colours and prints, BONDS Wondercool Zip Wondersuit can be found in BONDS stores and BONDS online. It’s also available at selected retailers including; Big W, Myer, Best & Less, Baby Bunting and Farmers (NZ).

I thought this would be an excellent gift for my good friend who recently had her little one. She reported back to me that the little cherub was very comfy in this wondersuit and slept well with no difficulties. He was already a good sleeper so good to know the change didn’t mix things up. She said these wonder suits are very easy to zip on and off for changing. We anticipate the usual level of bonds quality and for it to last enough to be a hand me down as needed :)

As you guys know it's been scorching hot the past week so our bub has been having troubles sleeping.
We put her into this suit and she slept like a log!
I can usually tell she's been sweating when she turns over and there is a wet patch under her head and her hair is all matted down but tonight it wasn't.
I was so surprised. I honestly didn't think it would work because of it being full length in terms of sleeves and pants but it really did do wonders.
I'm definitely going out to buy more.
The best thing is, I had a look online and there are different colours and patterns.
I would definitely recommend this product to all mums out there.

My 5 month old has a condition to which he can not get too hot, it’s very comforting knowing he can be at ease with his hands and feet’s covered as he LOVES to sleep with them snug in his suit but also that he won’t overheat on those nights where it’s slightly warm

My 9 week old gets sweaty during the night, especially as our room gets quite warm. When we tried the Wondercool, he slept for longer than he had ever before and I believe it's because he didn't overheat. I love this range and keep checking on the Bonds site for new colour options as he will continue to wear this for the next year or more.

We love the Bonds Wondercool fabric. We have both the long sleeve bodysuit and zippy wondersuit and love them both. The fabric is really soft and stretchy. It washes well and holds its shape too. I like that it is designed to allow air flow, keeping Bubs warm without the risk of overheating. Highly recommended.

These wondersuits are so comfortable and confident. It is so easy to put on my baby to keep him snug and comfortable throughout the day. How can I go past the convenience of a wondersuit. Its light breathable material allow for my baby to be comfortable all day regardless of any weather changes. The plethora of colours to choose from make sure my baby is looking his best at all times and that he is as cute as a button for all who see him during the day.

I love bonds wondersuits and these are no exception. Soft. Easy to put on and change baby. The double zip is a must have on any baby outfit. A life saver for middle of the night changing. Love the breathable material. The fit is always generous so they last so much longer. I just wish they had as many designs as the normal range does.

I have purchased this Wondercool range from Bonds website. I have the one with eyelets and one without. I feel that the Wondercool range is lightweight and great for warmer weather and used for layering my little one in cooler weather with sleeping bags/rompers. It comes with the usual bonds wondersuits must have such as feet and hands covering and double zip for easy nappy change!

I love BONDS Wondercool Zip Wondersuits I’ve had my daughter in them since birth, I love the designs, they wash and wear well. My daughter who is now a toddler has done miles and miles of running around in her wondersuit, out in the backyard getting dirty and they all remain in tact. I can’t rate this product enough and am very happy to pay for them as they last much longer than any other brands of clothing I’ve tried. I can even put them in the dryer without shrinking!!

I have used these wondersuits on all 3 of my children and they are great for quick changes but then hand cover flip over things took me ages to figure out how they worked, it frustrated me my partner could do it but i gave up. Bonds sizing is very large in comparison to all other baby sizing its normally a size up from what it says especially the jumpsuits.

We loved using the bonds wondercool zippys. We already use the bonds zippys and live in hot Western Australia so this was vital over summer! It was sometimes hard to get on/take off but that also comes with a squirmy 8 month old! Washes as well as other zippys and love the colours and patterns bonds released.

My son is a sweater and gets hot wearing even a singlet as we put him in a sleeping bag. But when we're out I like him to be fully protected due to his eczema and this body suit is great. His skin is kept dry and less sweaty when he wears this. I wish they come in more colours though

LOVE the wondersuits! I have used them for the past 6 years on both boys (up until the age of 3)
Only issue is that I wish they had bigger sizes, at least up to size 4, I understand they are available in bigger sizes but they are hard to find. Love the double zip! life changing! especially when accidents happen and you need to get it off quick smart, lol.

We bought this for our little guy after we found the normal wondersuits we’re making him sweat a lot in his sleep. The wondercool has been perfect in preventing him from sweating, it’s also very roomy and stretchy and of high quality. My main issue is we can’t buy more as they’re all sold out in most sizes. Would definitely recommend if you have a bub that gets hot while sleeping

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis, I’ve learned to trust my gut when something doesn’t feel right. We’ve had a few experiences where we’ve needed to go through different channels to raise concerns or frustrations with the hospital system to make sure our daughter got the care she needed. It’s great to see programs like this encouraging families to speak up, because parents often know when something isn’t quite right.

It’s great to see programs like this encouraging families to speak up, because parents often know when something isn’t quite right.
This is so true from my experience over the years.
No matter how wonderful the medical team is, if you have any doubts speak up as a mother knows her child better than anyone.
Yes and amen to this article ! I agree with always follow your gut, you know your child like no one else does. In fact you are your child’s expert and should never stop advocating for them or speaking up. Sometimes professionals are very good in waving concerns away, all it takes is a human who listens
Even as a healthcare professional, when I took my soon to the ED when I was concerned, I felt awkward about speaking up, worried I was making a big deal out of nothing (even though i would never tjink this about a patient’s family if the roles were reversed). The message in this article is so important. Always stick to your guns. Always speak up and advocate for your kids – they can’t do it for themselves.
And honestly, some medical staff are idiots. I vividly remember the night two doctors huddled over my son’s lung x-rays. I hadn’t been allowed to accompany him to have them taken as I was pregnant. They finally told me solemnly that they were preparing to do emergency surgery as there was something in his lungs – “we don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely man made”. I took one look at the x-rays and asked if they’d taken off the battery packs for his cochlear implants, which were pinned to the back of his shirt, before the x-ray. And of course they hadn’t, and of course that’s what appeared to be in his lungs. Honestly!
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.

Perfect for all kinds of weather
I put our bub in the Wondercool to see how she would go in rainy, cold weather and it seemed to work like a gem.
Our baby is honestly sleeping much, much better in it and doesn't seem to be too cold without a blanket and just get Wondercool suit on.
It also dries really quick!
Put it in the wash and hung it up inside because of the rain and it was dry the next day!

Such an awesome invention!
We put her into this suit and she slept like a log!
I can usually tell she's been sweating when she turns over and there is a wet patch under her head and her hair is all matted down but tonight it wasn't.
I was so surprised. I honestly didn't think it would work because of it being full length in terms of sleeves and pants but it really did do wonders.
I'm definitely going out to buy more.
The best thing is, I had a look online and there are different colours and patterns.
I would definitely recommend this product to all mums out there.
