Swaddle sleepsack question

ldooldoo member
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

OK, my 3-month-old still needs to be swaddled to sleep best. But her room gets hot. She's outgrowing her swaddle blankets, and they make her pretty warm anyway.

So, I was looking at sleepsacks, which I've never had.

Where do I find a breathable, lightweight swaddle sleepsack that will keep her little arms in tight but won't overheat her?

Thanks, ladies!

    We use a HALO sleep sack but without the arm restraints. You can get them with the restraints as well from Babies R Us.

    Is it a thin and breathable material?

    It comes in different materials. We use the cotton knit here in FL. There are fleece ones and microfleece, but those aren't what you are looking for now. Also, I haven't tried it yet but Aiden & Anais also makes a sleep sack but without arm restraints. The material is lightweight muslin but I haven't seen any in stores. And I'm pretty sure they are pricier than the HALO version.

    It gets really hot here in Houston, so I have had the same problem. When I went to BRU, I could only find the HALO in cotton in NB size. They only carried micro fleece in a size small and that would be way too hot. I finally found the cotton one online on Amazon in a size small.

    Good luck!

    OK, so cotton and small. Great, I'll get online and look for that. Thanks!

    As others said, cotton halo sleepsack swaddles are the way to go!  My LO is sleeping in one right now.  I still have a fan going in his room and keep the house temp at 72 though (additional ways to reduce the risk of SIDS).  But we have found the cotton Halo ones keep him wrapped up tight and he doesn't get too hot.
