Appropriate Newborn Blanket Alternative
Newborns like to be swaddled-- for about one week. After that, they want the freedom to move and kick their arms and legs. The trick here is that babies love the comfort and security of a blanket, but they kick one off too easily. Combine that with mama's worry about providing a safe blanket that's not a dangerous heavy comforter, but still provides warmth! This sleep sack is the solution. For babies being born in winter, the fleece version is perfect. Choose a lightweight option for other times of year. The sack has a tailored fit around baby's head and arms but provides plenty of space for lower body movement and baby never loses her blankie! Now that's what I call an innovative solution. <

>These sleepsacks are a bit pricey, but they wash well and since baby doesn't wear it hard or like an outfit, you can use a few times in a row before washing-- eliminating the need to buy one for every day of the week.

A Winter Volvo for your Precious Cargo (updated)
I wrote about these Halo SleepSacks previously - I received this gift set at my baby shower. <
> <
>I am glad I registered for both the Cotton and the Fleece SleepSacks. My son (now 3 weeks old) wears the Cotton one during the day and we put him in the Fleece one for the night. He stays warm and comfortable. He falls asleep faster in his SleepSack then in a swaddler and/or pyjamas. All he wears with his SleepSack (regardless of Cotton or Fleece) is a long-sleeved undershirt, diaper and socks. <
> <
>You don't want to bundle your baby too much because of the over-heating issue. I've seen the Carters' long-sleeved sleepbags at a few BRU retail stores - the parents I met have told me they don't work as well because their babies sweated like pigs and gotten chills (during those diaper changes). <
> <
>If you watch your child sleep/nap, you would notice that your baby burns a lot of calories moving around, waving those arms and kicking those legs. If your baby is wearing pyjamas, a Cotton sleeveless sleepsack will more than keep your baby warm in Southern California unless you are running the A/C at full blast. Anywhere else (especially the colder states), you may want to put your baby in pyjamas plus the Fleece sleepsack in a larger size so your baby has room to "exercise" without cooking. <
> <
>As for the color choices, I wished they were bright primary colors instead of all these pastel shades for babies. But color options are secondary if not tertiary to my son's well being in his sleep/nap mode. <
> <
>My son likes to wear the Newborn size instead of the Small size still even though he is "inbetween" the sizing now because of the cocoon feeling he gets in the Newborn vs. the Small. He's only 3 weeks old. Perhaps when he is 2 months old, he will want to "supersize me, Mamma!" into the Small. I have all the sizes - 3 Newborns (1 fleece, 2 cotton), 4 Smalls (3 cotton, 1 fleece - because it will be summer soon), 2 Mediums (1 fleece, 1 cotton) and 2 Large (1 fleece, 1 cotton). I am not sure if Jason will need or want the XL yet so we will wait on that. <
> <
>LATEST UPDATE (May 7, 2006): Jason is now 2-1/2 months old, 11 pounds and about 25 inches long. He has "super-sized" into the Smalls - which according to the tag is good for up to 18 pounds. The fleece is cut a little smaller than the Cotton - you won't really notice it until your baby is wearing the sleepsack because when you lay the sleepsacks on top of each other, there is no visible difference to the human eye.

A must have!
After losing one daughter to SIDS, I now worry about everything. These blankets help ease my mind. I have never liked the idea of receiving blankets because a baby can easily move her hands and pull the blank over her head. The blankets provide warmth without the risk of going over her head. <
> <
>I usually put my daughter in her p.j.s and the in the blanket, but on really warm nights I just put her in this. Plus with it being a sack it allows her to move her feet around freely, which isn't the case when she wears feet p.j.s because with all her kicking her legs either get caught up in the croch area or the p.j.s get twisted around. <
> <
>Another benefit is that this is the only product to have the seal of approval from the National SIDS Alliance.
