Sleep Sacks

MarcyIam · September 2010

To continue the trend of cold nights, blankets and sleep sacks below. ;-)

Last winter/spring we used the fleece sleep sacks with sleeves on Ryan with his fleece footies (him room gets cold).

This year he's going to be walking since he is already toddling around. I saw the post below about the big boy ones with the feet, but they almost seem like they'd be too big for Ryan (he can still wear some 9 mos clothes and he'll be a year next month).

I'm thinking the regular footless sleep sacks would be annoying/constricting to him since he moves around so much in his crib, but the feet ones seem too big.

Thoughts?

We never used sleep sacks too often... Evan was never a fan.

On cold nights, I dress him in a fleece footed sleeper with a long sleeved bodysuit and socks under it. He has always stayed warm. Sometimes, if I felt like he'd be cold, I would even put thin Carters pants on him too (under the sleeper)

I never really got the whole sleep sack thing.. we just used warm fleece jammies and put a onesie underneath if it was very cold once she outgrew the fleece sleeved sleep sacks from carters.
BUT.. would these ones work? https://www.buybuybaby.com/product.asp?SKU=113720& I think they're smaller than the ones that sandi posted yesterday..

When it was cold, but not too bad, we'd put him in a long-sleeve onesie and then fleece footie pajamas. I loved the ones from Children's Place - so soft and came in every size. On much colder nights, we'd put him in close-fitting cotten pj's, then the footie pajamas over them. We also had a fleece blanket, and if he was too warm with that, at least the footies seemed to keep him warm enough.

Evan wore this one from about 11 months.

We would put socks on over the ankle cuffs to make sure his foot didn't slip inside. I would definitely avoid sleep sacks without the foot holes once he is standing/walking.

This is the one I just bought, the ones I posted are not walkers but do have long sleeves (and are smaller).

FYI....these walker sleep sacks are HUGE! I got an XL thinking he could wear it all winter (starts at 26 lbs per the package)....um, yeah maybe when he is 3! I am going to return it for the L and see if that works. If not, I will have to figure out plan b!

Yep - they are HUGE! I was shocked when we opened it! Evan still fits in the large. But it worked great once we started using it.

Thank you, ladies!

We used the Halo sleepsacks with DS1, just the regular ones (the ones with foot holes are new since then). He did fine with them. I would try one of both of them and see how he does.
