Sleep sacks or blankets?

amyc216

What does your LO wear to bed these days and do you use a sleep sack, blanket or something else?

We still use sleep sacks and I'm not in any hurry to get rid of them.  I just bought two more in size large and DH asked how much longer we need to use them.   I feel like when we put DS in it he knows it's time for sleep.  Underneath that I always dress him in long sleeve/pants PJs.  Our house is 72 degrees, but DS's room seems coldest for some reason.

T uses a sleep sack every night and I hope to keep using them through the winter.

He wears footed pajamas with a blanket. Blanket usually gets kicked off at some point.

Sleep sacks with warm jammies and his crochet blanket.  Our house is 67 during the day and gets to 63 at night.

I use a sleep sack with cotton long sleeve long pants pjs and she has a crocheted blanket as well. If she is wearing fleece footed jammies she just has her blanket. She doesn't really use the blanket as a blanket though, she more cuddles it, but she seems comfortable. Our house is 68 at night.

Only footed jammies. Our house stays about 68 to 69 during the day. Her room is the only one I turn a heater on in at night in case it gets colder.....but I set the heater to go on if it hits below 66.

We use footed pajamas most of the year (we switched to onesies or just a diaper during the summer), and always use a sleepsack.  We were using a cotton one for the summer and fleece for the cooler weather.  I need to find a couple of large ones.

You don't NEED to use a sleepsack, but they're damn handy.  Personally, I don't see the point in changing to a blanket just because that's what most people are used to.  As pp mentioned, blankets tend to get kicked off by babies/small children who move around a lot in their sleep. We started with the sleepsack because of the SIDS/suffocation risk, but we'll keep using it because it's just so practical.  Lily never has trouble with standing up in it; that would probably be the only reason I'd switch.

We use a blanket.  I'd like to switch to a sleepsack since inevitably at some point LBB rolls around so much he's blanketless, but DH doesn't want to put him in it at bedtime because he thinks he'll overheat, and I don't want to put him in it in the middle of the night because it will rouse him too much.

We use sleep sacks and pjs(top and pants). In the winter we'll use fleece sleep sacks. I keep the house around 68 at night during the winter. I hate having the heat on, it makes all of us stuffed up. Luckily it doesn't get that cold here. She has a blanket in her crib, but its a thin Aden+Anais one that she mostly just cuddles.

I was wondering the same thing.  We still use a sleep sack and I'm not in a hurry to get rid of it - i'm actually going to buy more for the winter.  Our house is usually 68 ish, but the house is old and drafty, so once we really hit winter, I know I'll feel better knowing he's wearing his blanket.
