Or with the AC this summer, for that matter-- her room is smaller than the master and gets cooler much more quickly than ours. </p> <p>We've been doing short sleeve onesie and A&amp;A super thin sleep sack and it's working. But we only have one of those so I'm trying to decide if we should buy another or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1639052 Fri, 16 May 2014 08:33:09 +0000 Pancakes 1639052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lived in the southwest until DD was 2, and even though it was very warm, we just dressed her in light pajamas (like the shorts and short sleeves) and a sleep sack. We used the Baby DeeDee Sleep Nest Lite, and then when she outgrew that we got a Grobag with a 1.0 tog, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1638970 Fri, 16 May 2014 08:09:15 +0000 blackbird 1638970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you ditch it? We forgot to pack ours one night, E sleep fine without it, and we've been sleep sack free since. And it makes things SOOOO much easier. Especially because she has this habit of pooping at night once in awhile now. And when it's really hot, we just do a diaper and t-shirt (or no t-shirt). She doesn't seem to care or miss the blanket aspect in the least. </p> <p>When it's cool in the winter, we'll just bump the heat up. But by then she will be almost 2, so we'll see if she wants/needs a blanket by then. More than likely, we'll just do warmer fleece style pants+socks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1638724 Fri, 16 May 2014 04:18:15 +0000 Bao 1638724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's warm we just do jammies, no sleep sack. Otherwise it's footed jammies and a sleep sack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1638699 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:42:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 1638699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched to long sleeve onesie plus long pants, with a cotton halo sleepsack since it's finally getting warm here (I think it's around 75 in the house right now). It was really hot this aftn during her nap so I just did short sleeve onesie with sleepsack, no pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1638696 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:36:51 +0000 shopaholic 1638696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I'll use sleep sacks as long as possible! She rolls all over the crib, so she wouldn't be good with a blanket yet. We still do long sleeves and long pant (light cotton ones) at night. If it's too warm for that, we have the A/C on and her room gets to coldest. We stopped using footed pjs a few weeks ago when it got too warm. I sometimes do short sleeves and pant-less for naps when the sun hits her room. Still with sleep sack though. She's never seemed too warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1629616 Mon, 12 May 2014 16:00:59 +0000 birdofafeather 1629616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just ditched the sleep sacks on a whim when her room was 77 before bedtime! so now it's just jammies. last summer was a diaper and halo sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1629095 Mon, 12 May 2014 13:15:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1629095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: This was about to be my follow up question-- if they get used to not wearing a sleep sack while it's warm, will they fight it come winter when it's cool again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628921 Mon, 12 May 2014 12:02:05 +0000 Smurfette 1628921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I wondered this too but so far no. Now in the winter if she isn't sleeping in a footed sleeper I will put socks on her. R seems to run hot like her Daddy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628915 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:57:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 1628915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far we have stopped using sleep sacks. I think we have a light A&amp;A one that we might use from time to time. My only concern is that he gets so used to not wearing a sleep sack that when it gets cold again, he'll freak and not want to wear one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628835 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:30:59 +0000 Weagle 1628835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using sleep sacks when the weather got warm last year - like 80s warm. Her room doesn't have great airflow. It never bothered her, did nothing in terms of her moving around in the crib (was already standing and walking in her sleep sack anyway). </p> <p>@septca: Unless we know it's going to be really hot, we usually put socks on her. No real reason other than habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628745 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:03:43 +0000 septca 1628745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For all of you who go sack-less - do you think LO's feet get cold if you leave them bare? Maybe a silly question, but I worry about it. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628644 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:34:49 +0000 hilsy85 1628644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer we used the super light A&amp;A sleep sacks--they're just one layer of muslin--over short sleeved t shirts and shorts. But you could even just do them over a diaper if you think she needs the feel of a sleep sack. This summer, I'm not using sleep sacks very much--just putting him in t shirts and pants so far, unless the A/c makes the room really chilly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628379 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:26:04 +0000 .twist. 1628379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I think this is what I'm going to do! Seems like the perfect time to ditch the sleep sack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628362 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:23:10 +0000 septca 1628362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the super light weight A+A muslin sleep sack - it's almost like nothing. DD really likes using the sack, so we have been just putting less on her in terms of PJs. Last night (our AC was on - set to 78), she wore a tank/shorts PJ set and the light sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628284 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:06:08 +0000 plantains 1628284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We run the AC at 73 degrees for her at night when it is warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628266 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:54:53 +0000 Tanjowen 1628266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We run our air at night and keep it around 74ish degrees. We found thin cotton sleepsacks at Carter's that come with a long sleeve T-shirt, and they work great so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628258 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:50:32 +0000 Smurfette 1628258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped the sleep sacks around 12 months for this reason. now she sleeps in 2 piece sleepers, long or short sleeved or pants or shorts. She does fine with whatever. She has a blanket in her crib but usually kicks it off.</p> <p>I would just have LO wear the sleep sack and a onesie or nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628237 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:44:50 +0000 lawbee11 1628237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always put M in a long-sleeve onesie and cotton sleep sack. She runs warm and footed pjs + a sleepsack would definitely make her sweat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628219 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:38:25 +0000 tinyperson 1628219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Naps we tend not to use a sleep sack (she doesn't use one at daycare), and for night time we just switched to her lighter weight sleep sack. She's 17 months and stands up in her crib all the time, so it doesn't really impede her movement too much! She wears a light sleeper underneath. I figure in the summer we'll have the AC going, so an extra layer will help her feel cozy without getting too warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628216 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:37:24 +0000 californiadreams 1628216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i stopped using a sleepsack last summer when LO was about 8 or 9 months i think. He slept in thin cotton footed pjs, and in the winter he wore fleece pjs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628212 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:36:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 1628212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: @Mrs. Bee: Oh yeah, the other day for nap she seemed really warm so we just did the sleep sack and diaper. It seemed funny getting her up from that nap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628209 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:35:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1628209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did the halo sleep sacks with nothing on underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628206 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:35:29 +0000 Pepper 1628206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just put LO in a short sleeved onesie and a sleepsack. We have the Halo cotton sleepsacks, and I don't think we'll be transitioning from them any time soon. </p> <p>Last week we had a really warm night, and I just put him in a diaper in the sleepsack. He was comfy all night like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628196 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:31:08 +0000 autumnlove 1628196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 2 wears short sleep rompers from Baby Gap and a light AA Sleepsack on warm days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsacks-and-warm-weather#post-1628193 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:29:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1628193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do/did you do about a sleepsack or PJs when the weather gets warmer? </p> <p>It's getting warmer here (for now-- back to the 50s again this week :( ) We usually put C, 9.5 months, to sleep in footed PJs and a sleepsack, either light A&amp;A one or a warm fleece one, depending on the temp. It's been so warm the last couple of days we put her in a short sleeve onesie and the A&amp;A sleepsack, which seems to work OK. We do have A/C but try to only use it when we really need it. </p> <p>So, wondering if we need to buy another lightweight sleep sack, or if we should plan to transition away from it anyway? When did you stop using it? </p> <p>FWIW she scoots around the crib a lot, but hasn't tried standing up in it yet. </p>
