sleep sack vs sleep n' play

Which one are you guys using?

I have lots of sleep sacks... What is a sleep n play?

Nevermind... just googled and it looks like what I always call just a "Sleeper."

We have lots of sleepers and a few sleep sacks, so we'll just see what works best for LO.

sleep slack I think it's just one big bag ... and the sleep n plays have separate legs with attached footies.

I have both but I actually like the sleep and play more.  Originally, I planned on just getting sleep sacks but the sleep and plays have more stylish options.

Both. The sleep n play is probably what he'll wear most when he's little- that way he looks like he's wearing clothes (visitors, taking him out, etc.) yet he's comfy for all the sleeping he will likely be doing.

They have two different functions, IMO.

I agree.  I'll use them for different purposes at first.  Sleepers/Sleep N Plays for daytime, napping, regular day activities.  Sleep sacks for nightime sleeping.  I want there to be a difference in a "nap" and "bedtime".  Not that I think LO will notice that for some time!  But if I set the routine for me, maybe that will help later!

Hi I hope you don't mind me butting in, DD is awake and I am not in the mood to be up yet
Right now (9 months), DD is in a sleeper with feet - a warm fleecy one and on top of that is a sleeveless sleep sack.  She wears the sacks every night to bed over her footed sleeper.  Doe that make sense?  As a newborn in February, she wore footed sleeper things almost every day and we really only swaddled her a few weeks.  I think at that age I put a onesie under them but I don't anymore.  If you can, get the newborn or 0-3 size sleepers with zippers!!  I can't wait to move to 12 month sleepers so we can get back to zippers
For the sleep sacks, I move up a size well before the tag says to so she has extra room to move around.  These things are fabulous for winter nights - definitely worth the investment!
Hope this helps and hope you don't mind me butting in
Good luck!

If by sleep n play you mean the pajama sleepers, I will put baby in a sleeper and then in a sleep sack. Its what DD sleeps in too so I can't imagine a baby in any less.
