Sleep sack to blanket?

tess1014 · April 2013

Have any of your LO's made the transition from a sleep sack to a blanket? If so, any words of wisdom? Did you also put a pillow in the crib? C is almost too big for the size large sleep sacks, but I just don't see her being able to cover herself up with a blanket. I'm worried she'll get cold or won't sleep as well without her sleep sack. (Ha... after re-reading that last sentence, I find it funny that I think she won't sleep as well without the sleep sack... she still wakes up at least twice at night, so I hope it can't get any worse!)

DD has been sleeping with a blanket since 5 months. She has become very attached to it and will often wake up and search for it to get back to sleep. She sleeps in footie PJs so I dont worry about her being cold (onesie underneath if its below

DS still uses his sleep sack and I have the same concerns as you. He is all over the place and I know a blanket would never stay on him. A few weeks ago he had a super high fever for a few nights and he did just fine without the sleep sack.

DS2 used the sleep sack for a while early on but he became such a wiggle worm that he needed to move. So he uses a blanket. He normally just cuddles with it so we dress him in a onesie under his PJs. He never seems cold. We also just started giving him a

DS still uses a sleep sack too. What kind of blankets are you moms using? I give him an aden and anais swaddle blanket to cuddle with for naps but not at bedtime, I'm freaked out since they are so thin that he could get it wrapped around him but I can als

Thanks everyone! I think I'll start putting a blanket in her crib while she's still in the sleep sack, so hopefully when she eventually outgrows it she'll already be used to having it in there. I'll wait a little longer on the pillow.

I switched about 2 months ago and it took DD a week or so to adjust to no sleep sack (which is funny because she's napped without one since she was 3 months old!). She still slept the same overnight, it just took her longer to fall asleep.

DS wears a footed PJ, because he hates blankets. He does not like to be covered at all. He has 2 pillows though, one small one that I made and then this one: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046CGEP8/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

DS slept swaddled up to about 4-5 mo (or until he outgrew all his receiving blankets.) Since it was summer about that time, we never worried about him getting cold, only too hot. A stand fan & AC worked there. However, in the winter, DS's
