Once it warms up we will probably ditch the sack. His sleep stays the same(not necessarily good) whichever way he is put to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-868460 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:18:50 +0000 HabesBabe 868460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used sleep sacks for a few months, but now that it's warmer, LO only wears PJs to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-868423 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:06:20 +0000 2PeasinaPod 868423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I definitely don't think it's too late. We still use sleep sacks and LO is 8.5 months. He sees it as a sleep cue as well, and use the light cotton ones for the summer as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-868414 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:03:16 +0000 jmarionsmith 868414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think it's too late but our LO has always just slept with footed pjs after being swaddle weaned. </p> <p>as for the sleep cues, we have several but without a doubt the sound machine has been a life saver. we take it everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867195 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:33:27 +0000 MrsF 867195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I don't think it's too late at all. He'll probably hardly notice because he'll still have his arms and legs unrestrained. We have some light cotton ones for summer. Not at all trying to advertise but I was noticing last night that someone is selling the one that we have on the HB classifieds! Maybe a good way to get one cheap in case your LO doesn't take to it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867173 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:28:03 +0000 Mommy Finger 867173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that it's summer, we haven't been using the sleep sacks and he does just fine. Some nights when it was really hot, we just had him in his onsie. We will probably go back to sleep sacks once it gets cold again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867164 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:25:42 +0000 edelweiss 867164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when we first ditched the swaddle, we used a sleepsack for a couple of reasons--first, it was winter and i felt like he needed another layer, and second, it was a step in the sleeptime routine. however when it got warm enough, i stopped using the sleepsack and his sleep didn't change (i'm not saying he was a good sleeper, i'm just saying it didn't change), so it's not like the absence of that sleep cue messed things up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867142 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:20:11 +0000 aprk 867142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm all backwards about this, haha. I think every sleep sack we have is super warm! Oy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867132 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:18:56 +0000 Smurfette 867132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I wouldn't think it is too late. Try it and see how he does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867127 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:17:51 +0000 aprk 867127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: that's what I'm worried about - that we lost the sleep cue of the swaddle. I was thinking about starting it now, especially for naps. He's only 11 weeks so I don't think it's too late? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-867118 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:15:03 +0000 MrsF 867118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the sleep sack because it's a good sleep cue for her. We can go to my SIL's or wherever and as long as she has her sleep sack on she knows it's time to nap. I also like that on a warm night I can just leave her in a diaper or a onsie and she's still covered. Whatever works for you though - it's certainly not necessary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-866954 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:07:47 +0000 Crisark 866954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on my third kid and I've never used a sleep sack. Ever. And my youngest is now sleeping 7 to 9hr stretches at night (10 weeks old )....I don't think sleep sacks are necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-866947 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:06:09 +0000 Adira 866947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander sleeps in just footed pjs! I sort of attempt to swaddle his lower half, but last night he was just squirming around before he fell asleep and undid his blankets. He slept just fine in the footed pjs and nothing else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/from-swaddle-to-sleep-sack#post-866944 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:04:31 +0000 aprk 866944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week A weaned himself from the swaddle, and has been doing great. (Well, he could sleep longer and that would be lovely, haha, but his sleep has been pretty much the same as when he was swaddled). </p> <p>But, given how quickly he ditched the swaddle, I sort if forgot to transition him to a sleep sack. Is it too late? Does it even matter? Does anybody else's kid sleep in just footed pjs? </p>
