Types of Sleep Sacks

The Sleep Sack is a revolutionary item in the realm of infant sleep safety, providing a secure and comforting environment for babies while minimizing the risks associated with loose bedding. This article will delve into everything parents need to know about sleep sacks, from their definition and benefits to essential safety tips, helping ensure your little one sleeps soundly and securely.

Quick Summary:

  • What is a Sleep Sack? A wearable blanket that replaces a loose blanket, recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to reduce the risk of SIDS.

  • Biggest risk: NEVER use weighted sleep sacks, swaddles, or blankets due to the risk of reduced oxygen levels and suffocation.

  • When to switch? Stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of rolling over (usually 2-4 months old) and switch to a sleep sack to free their arms.

  • Safety #1: Always check the Fit (size) to ensure the collar and armholes fit properly, and do not allow fabric to cover your baby's face.
