LO has been sleeping in sleep sacks for a few months now. It helped transition him into the crib. Right now he sleeps with a long sleeved onesie and a cotton Halo sleep sack. Mostly because I don't want to buy new sleep sacks in a couple months, I'm thinking about moving him to the footed sleepers. So a couple questions:
Have you done this? Was it a process or did you just put LO to sleep in a sleeper one night?
What temperature do you keep LOs room if he's only sleeping in a cotton sleeper?
I'm curious about the same thing so I'll be following this post to see what tips you get! My LO (6.5 months) sleeps in the exact same thing as yours (long sleeve cotton onesie with either a fleece or cotton halo sleep sack). However, I feel as though she is starting to get annoyed with the sleep sack because she is trying to crawl/move around and the sack prohibits this to a degree. I keep my house at 68 degrees but as the warmer weather approaches the heat will be turned off. I too was thinking of just putting her in a footed sleeper, no sack, but don't want her to get cold...
I don't think my LO has an attachment to the sleep sack. We put him in footed pjs and a sleep sack at night but he naps without the sleep sack. If your house is warm enough, I would just not use it one night and see what happens.
My LO is very active in the crib while he sleeps and when he wakes he has no issues sitting up in the sleep sack or crawling around. I will most likely keep him in it because it keeps his legs from going through the slates in the crib.
Mine sleeps in a onesie (just bodysuit) and fleece sleep sack. We keep out house cooler, and I know that I must have a heavier blanket on me when I sleep...so I just assume she's the same! lol. I will probably always use the fleece sack. In the summer's we keep the A/C cold.
Still in the sleepsack here. We went ahead and invested in the Merino Sleep sacks which will fit until he's 2. Love them. Although they are expensive... I don't have to buy a new set of sacks every time he grows. We are lucky though and he doesn't leak all that often at night.. so we only have 2 sacks and rotate. If I needed more than that I likely wouldn't use these.
My LO sleeps in a footed jumper and a sleeveless sleep sack. The room temp is around 69-70 degrees. We had a heat wave recently so she only slept in the footed pjs or even a onesie and did fine.i use the sleep sack for warmth mostly but lo doesn't crawl yet. When she does I will probably transition out of it
DS made an easy transition to footed jammies. We just put him in them one night. I was worried about keeping him warm, but our ped assured me babies are comfortable at 65-72 degrees in light jammies.
My son loves his sleep sack and I ended up turning one of his into a small blanket for him to snuggle. If you are transitioning and your lo has a big attachment to the sack, you could try making a blanket with the sleep sack. I know that it just makes another attachment, but sometimes having a good sleeper is worth it!
We did the sleep sack until he could roll over. Then he just wore footed pjs. Now he's wearing 12 month pjs at 8 months. Refuses socks just sleeps with a blanket just fine.
