    Sleep sacks and swaddles are different.  One contains the child's arms and helps with their reflex that they have as newborns that makes them feel like they are falling (swaddle), the other just keeps them warm at night, like a blanket would.  We used both types at different times with ds.  He loved the kidoppotamus swaddle me's until about 5months old, then we switched to the sleep sacks until he was old enough to sleep with a blanket.  HTH!

    we did the same.  SwaddleMe for the first few months then the Sleep Sack.  The Swaddle Me was really great.  I'm still convinced that's the reason my daughter slept through the night!

    Lucky!  DS didn't sttn consistently until a few months ago.  Even now, every once in a while, he wakes up.  Ugh.

    They're different but there are some (Halo maybe?) that are a wearable blanket (sleepsack) then there's a piece that velcroes around the baby's upper body to contain their arms, making it a swaddle.

    Yeah, Halo is one wearable blanket that doubles as a swaddle. Babies won't want to be swaddled forever, but they should use the wearable blankets for a while. That way they can't pull their blanket up by their face, but they will stay warm.
