Needless to say, I'm a fan of the sleep sack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1154041 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 22:10:25 +0000 Mommy Finger 1154041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't love them, what do you do to keep your LO warm in the cold winter? I'm guessing your heating bills must be high? :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152812 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:49:01 +0000 birdofafeather 1152812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we love them and it's a total sleep cue for DD. i think she's slept one nap without it because it was SUPER hot in her room. otherwise, we do diaper only and cotton sleep sack for hot nights (no A/C) and fleece with warm pjs for cold nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152776 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:35:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 1152776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never really used them, she didn't like it. She also hated to be swaddled so I thinks he has a confined issue. We just make sure she's in warm PJs and now that she's older enough we put a blanket with her. However, she's pretty warm blooded so she gets hot rather tahn cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152673 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 10:45:57 +0000 plantains 1152673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I looooove sleeps sacks. We have always just used Halo ones and DD likes them fine. We don't even bother with the early walker ones and she is still totally fine in it. </p> <p>Any recommendations for something thicker than the Halo fleece ones but not as spendy as Merino Kids? I want to stop cranking the heat so high in winter and don't fancy dropping $150 on a sleepsack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152628 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 10:25:19 +0000 LovelyPlum 1152628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be curious as to whether our baby likes them. I cannot STAND anything that restricts my feet, and I haven't been able to since I was a little kid. I used to freak out at the thought of footy pajamas, which made my mother insane. I recently learned that my dad is like this, too. I call it my claustrophobic toes-wonder if baby will get them, too? If so, I have a feeling it will be no sleep sacks for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152623 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 10:23:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1152623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: right now we are using halo fleece sleep sacks, but i also have a wool one from merino kids that i haven't really used. they are supposed to be great for winter. the fleece sleep sack alone isn't warm enough for new york winters i've found, but we've just kept the heat up high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152579 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 10:01:12 +0000 Crisark 1152579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152321 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:25:32 +0000 looch 1152321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son used to be obsessed with his, so much so that I had to send it to daycare when we started letting him nap there so he could cuddle it. At one point I thought I would have to send it to college with him!</p> <p>We used the ones by Halo that were the early walker with the knitted openings for his feet, both in fleece and in mesh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152313 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:23:57 +0000 mrsjyw 1152313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't love them, but they're a must in the winter months... we try to go as long as possible with footies, but now it's too cold, so he's in a cotton sleep sack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1152309 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:23:00 +0000 autumnlove 1152309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them and so does my 21 month toddler.

But, then again, I sleep with my comforter wrapped around me as if I were a burrito. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151998 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:27:32 +0000 lemondrop 1151998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never found them really helpful. C hated having his arms swaddled, I tried one a few times once we stopped swaddling when he started rolling. I could have definitely tried it more, but once he grew out of it, I never wanted to spend the money on one in a larger size, so it went in the outgrown clothes tub. </p> <p>Really all we need for a good night's sleep is a zippered fleece sleeper. He wakes a couple times a night in cotton pj's, but will sleep great in fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151888 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 21:01:09 +0000 photojane 1151888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never even used one! We swaddled until she could roll both ways at 2.5-3 months, and then it was summer, and didn't feel like a sleep sack was necessary. Now, she's such an active sleeper--rolling all around, bending, gymnastics--that I feel like a sleep sack would be too restrictive. We keep it pretty cool at night since I like to sleep with tons of blankets, and she's hasn't gotten hypothermia yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151878 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:50:55 +0000 cascademom 1151878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO likes them. I agree that they're a great sleep cue and he's warm in them. It's amusing to watch him walk in one in his crib now that he's mobile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151855 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:34:45 +0000 teamjse 1151855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo hates sleep sacks and will not wear them, so we have lots of brand new ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151842 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:29:13 +0000 rachiecakes 1151842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He hated them, as soon as he could stand (just before 7 months) he would basically choke himself standing on it, pulling the neck tight. I had to get him out of them.</p> <p>Maybe should add: he also hates blankets no matter how chilly it gets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151817 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:13:53 +0000 Pancakes 1151817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with Mrs. Bee! I love sleep sacks! I would still be using one with DD if she hadn't started unzipping them and getting out of them at 25 mos. We love the Baby DeeDee Sleep Nest and I also like GroBags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151814 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:11:46 +0000 Smurfette 1151814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R seems to need them for a sleep cue but I am not a fan now that she is pulling herself up in the crib. So afraid she is going to trip. We have to go up a size and they are huge </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151811 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:09:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1151811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the idea, but haven't found a sleep sack that I love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151792 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:55:03 +0000 matador84 1151792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: what is your favorite kind? i can't believe i don't have any, and i do worry about ds getting cold at night even though the heater is on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151788 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:53:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1151788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sorry but i looooove them. both kids loved them. olive is still in hers at 2. i think i love them because i don't have to worry about whether they're warm enough. they're not really able to stay under the blanket until they're much older .... at almost 4 charlie still has problems staying under his blankets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151783 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:50:32 +0000 Kemma 1151783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A just got tangled up in hers or put her feet through the harness slot so they were no good for us! A sleeps under a woollen cot duvet that's well tucked under her mattress.</p> <p>Interestingly enough my nephew has always slept in a sleep sack and now that he's in a bed he hates sleeping under any sort of sheets or blankets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151731 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:13:19 +0000 MrsRcCar 1151731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N hated his! Just completely hated it. We quit using it pretty quickly and gave it to SIL for her lo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151720 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:07:00 +0000 luckypenny 1151720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never really used them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151682 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:32:54 +0000 junebugmama 1151682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: Hated them. He also didn't seem like he loved them. Used it twice and never again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151678 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:29:30 +0000 shinymama 1151678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to transition out of them, and his horrible night sleep had us running (running!!!) back to them. He only wears them at night, and it's the perfect cue for him that it's lights out. Also, it helps keep him from trying to climb out of his crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-love-sleep-sacks#post-1151670 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 18:23:24 +0000 banana 1151670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids loved sticking their legs through the crib slats while napping so they HATED sleep sacks. </p>
