Also, b/c it's muslin it tends to rip easier too. At least with the single layer one. I have the 4 and 3 layer ones for winter and they work great. The one thing I love about them is that they run large so I am able to use them past the recommended age. For daycare I would just go with Halo since they are cheaper. If there's a BRUs near you they sometimes have buy one get one for 50% off. Pretty good deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825883 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:04:30 +0000 rattles 825883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Halo here. We used the swaddle sacks when she was tiny, fleece in the winter and cotton in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825879 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:58:54 +0000 Pink Champagne 825879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually love the A&amp;A sleepsacks, especially for warmer months. Those Halo sacks are great for winter but far too toasty once it gets above 55-60 degrees outside. My little guy runs hot though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825863 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:42:45 +0000 pinkcupcake 825863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halo! We've been using them since she was a newborn. We have both fleece and cotton and rotate based on the weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825851 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:22:09 +0000 daniellemybelle 825851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Bargains recommends Halo, and it seems like its popular here too! Also, Merlin's Magic Sleep Suit has a cult following (there was a blog post too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825848 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:14:32 +0000 autumnlove 825848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Oooh, I love the regular Baby Deedee sacks so I have to buy the lite version! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825842 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:06:03 +0000 shopaholic 825842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I want to try the sleep lite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825841 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:05:27 +0000 shopaholic 825841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a variety and only this week stopped swaddling so we've tested a bunch. I choose based on the temperature, but I do think the Halo cotton is nice weight and soft. And like BabyDeeDee because it seems more cozy and plush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825802 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:31:40 +0000 HLK208 825802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby deedee sleep lite and sleep nest are our favorites. A&amp;A are nice but not as cozy, in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825792 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:24:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 825792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using Halo since LO was 6 months old. They hold up well and the cotton ones are a good medium weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825790 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:24:13 +0000 Katrocap 825790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking Halo. Are there any that are lightweight? DS runs on the warm side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825784 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:20:47 +0000 immabeetoo 825784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto to what @coacheswife123 said! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825781 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:18:29 +0000 pl0508 825781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are an A&amp;A family but have heard the same thing so we went with halo and like them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825778 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:16:24 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 825778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use halo and like them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-sacks-wearable-blanket-recommendations#post-825774 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:14:03 +0000 Katrocap 825774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any recommendations for sleep sacks/wearable blankets?

So it worries and bothers me. And I just don't want a wet/damp area on her chest and face for hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823820 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 10:36:03 +0000 aprk 823820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: is it bothering her, or are you worried about a rash? Or is it coming up over her face? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823816 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 10:33:08 +0000 shopaholic 823816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: hmm.. We've tried 4 different kinds of sleep sacks so far. I might have to just use a swaddle blanket on her body until she grows into them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823810 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 10:30:30 +0000 aprk 823810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has one zippered sleeper that does this ... It's like the zipper is too sturdy or something. I haven't figured a fix for it but it does concern me so I try to only put it on him during the day when I'm watching. I know that doesn't help you ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823806 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 10:28:05 +0000 shopaholic 823806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: soaked from it being close to her mouth and she drools and kinda sucks on it when she's also sucking on her fist because it is in the way. Yeah I think I need som big safety pins to pin the bottoms of the sleep sacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823786 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 10:20:05 +0000 tororojo 823786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was she soaked from spit up or sweat? We haven't had that problem w/zippered sleepers. Maybe a smaller size sleeper would help? Or could you rig it and fold the bottom of the sleep sack to make it more shallow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823717 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 09:39:15 +0000 shopaholic 823717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zippers-bunching#post-823416 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:24:37 +0000 shopaholic 823416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really DETEST zippered things for K, at least so far. Maybe because she's still small? Zippered sleepers, zippered swaddles, and now the sleep sacks... they ALL bunch up around her chin!<br /> Because she is waking up at least 1x every night just to get her arms free, we've been trying to swaddle wean the past few nights and use sleep sacks. The other night when I picked her up, the sleep sack was completely soaked all around the neck/chin area. We've tried several different sleep sacks and they all do the same thing! I tug at the bottom when she's laid down, to try and keep the neck opening away from her chin, but it always eventually bunches up. Same thing with zippered sleepers. </p> <p>Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution besides waiting for her to grow longer and have more neck strength? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-gownsacks-amp-swaddles#post-484074 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 15:07:38 +0000 shopaholic 484074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks Ladies for all the great input! I think we have 2 gowns like this for right now and 1 that can be made like this OR with legs. I think I will try them out before I buy anymore to see if I like them! And thanks for helping me understand how to wrap them with the swaddle together!</p> <p>@autumnlove: I believe it's Kate Quinn Organics (found it on Pinterest!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-gownsacks-amp-swaddles#post-483661 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 10:13:35 +0000 autumnlove 483661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved gowns the first two months.

DH hates them. It's impossible for him to hold LO in a dress without it being bunched up surround her armpits and neck. I don't know how he does it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-gownsacks-amp-swaddles#post-483618 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 09:25:10 +0000 prettylizy 483618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a few of these and she wore them like PJ's under her swaddle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-gownsacks-amp-swaddles#post-483595 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 09:01:11 +0000 pastemoo 483595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I loved this for him from 0-8 weeks. I swaddled him on top of that. </p>
