I ended up trying it out without the sleepsack, which was probably a lot considering we recently switched to a floor bed too. After a few naps we added a crocheted blanket and he seems just fine. As a plus he seems to be staying in one place for once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-2000043 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 17:17:22 +0000 MamaChin 2000043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be crazy. I put DD in fleece footed pjs AND a fleece sleepsack! She is never sweaty in the morning. The first night she slept in her room she was in a onesie and fleece pjs and her hands and face were freezing in the morning! Her room does get cooler at night but we keep the house at 71 so I doubt her room gets more than a few degrees cooler than that. My son gets a long sleeves onesie and fleece footed pjs but he also has a blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999933 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 15:43:22 +0000 shellio 1999933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older DS just turned 3 and never cared about sleep sacks one way or the other. He still rarely sleeps under a blanket - once in a great while he will ask for one but I think he kicks it off before or during sleep. He has always just slept in regular jammies. I guess footed sleepers are probably better, I know my younger DS (who is very attached to the sleep sack) rips off his socks at every opportunity and I would worry that his feet would get cold.</p> <p>ETA: The temp in older DS room ranges from 64-68 in the winter and he seems fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999891 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 14:53:06 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1999891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could put a short sleeve onesie under the pjs, and socks for extra warmth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999788 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 12:41:17 +0000 MsMini 1999788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried them with S but he was way too active in his sleep and would panic in them. He also wouldn't wear any footed sleepers or socks at night after 6 months of age so I just rolled with it. He did have a small warm blanket I would sneak in and cover his feet with once he was out. Didn't ever last long because he did laps around his crib in his sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999682 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 11:24:57 +0000 TheReelDeal 1999682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of sleep sacks. She seems to swim around in them too much and they are such a hassle during the middle of the night changes. We just use regular footed sleepers and swaddle her with a warm blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999673 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 11:13:33 +0000 AmandaB8 1999673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used sleepers. </p> <p>But, DD has also slept with a blanket from 3 months...we were rule breakers. (ie - it was the only was she would sleep!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999342 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:27:53 +0000 QBbride 1999342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really used them even though I spent a lot of money on them!! LO gets super hot and I imagine how I would feel if I was hot and couldn't get out of a sleeping bag. We just use regular sleepers, even fleece is too warm for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999320 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:05:52 +0000 ShootingStar 1999320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never really used them. We had this awesome heavy duty A&amp;A one and I felt like he just got tangled up in it. So after we ditched the swaddle I just put him in fleece sleepers and a onesie. I dress him in fleece year round because it would get cold in his room from the AC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999248 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 21:47:59 +0000 californiadreams 1999248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stopped using them at 7 months in desperation to try anything for better night sleep. Have not missed them at all. LO is now 25 months and still in fleece sleepers. We give him an A and A blanket since a couple of months ago but he doesn't really use it. He also mostly sleeps good since about a year ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999225 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 21:33:06 +0000 ALV91711 1999225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using them around 9 months and just did pj's and a blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999220 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 21:28:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1999220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ditched them pretty early and use footed fleece sleepers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999217 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 21:24:53 +0000 matador84 1999217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did with either child...seems weird to me. I just make sure they are warm with pjs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999215 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 21:19:36 +0000 Dandelion 1999215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use them.

Her room gets so hot with the heat in our building (which we can't control) that we actually keep her a/c on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1999004 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 15:19:35 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1999004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep sacks = freak outs in our house. I have a small fortune in hardly worn sleep sacks. I usually keep dd in a onesie or undershirt and fleece pajamas at night in the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1998993 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:59:44 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1998993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo hated sleep sacks. We keep the house around 70 and put him in fleece sleepers. I also used an aa dream blanket tucked in on 3 sides of the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1998983 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:49:49 +0000 anonysquire 1998983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used anything fancy. We swaddled her til like 3 weeks when she started needing her arms to sleep. For the most part she just wears a diaper to bed. Our house is like 70-73 but this girl gets SO hot if you put pjs on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1998981 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:49:17 +0000 Pirouette 1998981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using them around 6 months because she was standing in the crib and we were worried she'd trip in the sleep sack. it was summer but since she was around 8 months we've given her a blanket (gasp!) and she's never had any problems with it. she snuggles it to keep warm. Her room is also the warmest so we didn't want to give her fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1998978 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:46:14 +0000 blackbird 1998978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dropped it at 8 months....she wears footed Jammies in the winter (we have a mix of fleece and just cotton) and often nothing but a diaper in the summer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-using-a-sleepsack#post-1998963 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 14:39:09 +0000 spaniellove 1998963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone not use a sleepsack with their LO? Especially a baby and in the winter? We're thinking of ditching it with our 6mo because he's so active and the darned thing just gets in his way. I see his legs getting tangled and sometimes for fun he likes to pull it up over his face. (He's a fan of the blanket over my face, drive mommy crazy game during the day.)</p> <p>If you don't use a sleepsack, do you use fleece sleepers or do you find regular pajamas to be sufficient at night? We keep that part of the house around 70 so I doubt that he's freezing. </p>
