SleepSack® Collections FAQ
SleepSack Swaddles
Slip the SleepSack Swaddle wearable blanket over your baby's regular sleepwear as a replacement to loose blankets in the crib. You may want to put a short or long sleeve bodysuit or a coverall on underneath the wearable blanket depending on your nursery temperature. Don't put your baby to sleep wearing a hat, as this can result in overheating. Secure the swaddle wrap around your baby using the fastener strips. You may choose to use the swaddle feature with arms in or arms out.
As your baby grows, he may outgrow his need for swaddling as he may prefer to have his arms free or he may begin to move about in the crib and roll over. It's time to stop swaddling your baby when she starts to show signs of rolling over or breaking out of the swaddle.
When your baby shows signs of breaking free from the SleepSack Swaddle or rolling over, it’s time to discontinue swaddling. To make the transition easier, we recommend gradually transitioning your little one to the SleepSack Wearable Blanket. You can do this by swaddling your baby for a few nights with one arm out, then two arms out of the swaddle. Your baby will still have the secure feeling of the swaddle while gradually adjusting to having his arms free.
We DO NOT recommend using a SleepSack Wearable Blanket that does not correspond to your baby’s current size. The purpose of the wearable blanket is to keep your baby from having any excess material that may bunch up around the baby’s nose or mouth. If the baby is wearing a wearable blanket that is too large, there is a potential for the baby's head to slip through the neck hole or for excess material to bunch up around his or her face.
The SleepSack Swaddle replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover a baby’s face and interfere with breathing. It also helps reduce the risk of baby overheating.
It is sleeveless to reduce the chance of baby overheating and is easier to be worn with regular sleepwear underneath.
A TOG is a unit of measure of thermal insulation used in the textile trade. The British "TOG" value is the international standard measurement of a blanket's thermal effectiveness (how well it keeps you warm).

Sleep Safety
Follow these guidelines to keep your baby sleeping safely. For more sleep safety visit our section blog.
Always:
-
Place your baby to sleep on his back at naptime and at night time.
-
Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet. Place your baby's crib near your bed.
-
Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby's sleep area. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
-
Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in a separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
-
Offer a pacifier when putting your baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce the pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
Never:
-
Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheepskins, etc.)
-
Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Never use wedges or positioners to prop your baby up or keep him on his back.
-
Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.
The safest place for your baby to sleep is on her back in her own crib or bassinet in the same room as you. Side sleeping is no longer recommended as a young infant can easily flip onto his tummy. Do not allow your baby to fall asleep in your bed, as this is a risk factor for suffocation or SIDS. Make sure that there are no loose blankets, pillows, soft bumpers or other toys in your infant’s sleep space.
