It seemed like an easier transition for her. We have had two in each size which works just fine for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794514 Sun, 19 May 2013 23:37:25 +0000 sunny 794514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We swaddled using A&amp;A blankets until 4 weeks.</p> <p>Starting around 4 weeks, we used a Halo sleep sack in Fleece for the winter and a cotton one for the summer. They are kind of pricey so we only have 1 in each size. Since she doesn't spit up they don't really get dirty. We dress her in a onesie and cotton footed sleeper underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794501 Sun, 19 May 2013 22:53:51 +0000 HLK208 794501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did:</p> <p>-Swaddle me's until 4 months (2 in cotton, 1 fleece)<br /> -Baby deedee sleep nest during winter 6-12 months<br /> -a&amp;a sleep sack for spring and summer 12 months</p> <p>They are pricey so we just bought one and wash it often.

We use the halo cotton </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794421 Sun, 19 May 2013 20:51:24 +0000 tysonja 794421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ideally i would have 2 or maybe 3 in each size (a small size for 3-6months, a big size for 6-12 months, and a huge one for 1-3T), but we only had one for each size and survived. i just did laundry while he was awake -- it didn't get too dirty. </p> <p>for our 6-12 month size we have a long sleeved sleep sack since it was winter here. i love sleep sacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794361 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:56:39 +0000 Rubies 794361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Grobag in the winter and Babydeedee for both winter and summer (but in the different fabrics). Love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794359 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:53:19 +0000 78h2o 794359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a newborn my LO slept in footed sleepers and a swaddle (miracle blanket or halo). Around 3 mo she switched to 2-piece pjs or sleepers and a Grobag sleep sack. They are awesome but a little pricey... I borrowed the ones I have from my sister... she got them for her LO on ebay. They come in different weights but are kind of like sleeping bags. We normally keep the AC on at night, so it works well. I do have one Halo sleep sack that I sometimes pair with terry pjs, but I still worry about her being cold with the AC on, so I don't use the Halo one much except for naps during the day when the AC isn't on.</p> <p>ETA: I needed 3 newborn sleep swaddles, 2-3 medium swaddles, and 2-3 Grobags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794358 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:52:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 794358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love the A&amp;A sleep sacks. The cozy ones (which are 4 layers of fabric). We live in hota** FL and they're just the right weight. We have one of the regular ones (1 layer of fabric) and we just use that one sometimes during the day for naps when the house is warmer bc sunlight is coming in everywhere and we keep the thermostat a couple of degrees higher. She has been wearing PJs under it but we are now going w LS Carter's onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794346 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:40:23 +0000 immabeetoo 794346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forgot to say we had two in each size which works for us. As a newborn he had zip up sleep and plays (basically footed pajamas that are all one piece) under his swaddle. He had a huge head and I didn't put him in onesies or anything I had to drag over his head until he was 2 months and was less wobbly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794339 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:36:46 +0000 heffalump 794339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 halo sleep sacks. We are in Florida and it's usually hot here, so she only wears a sleep sack and diaper unless its cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794334 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:33:12 +0000 sumer08 794334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Halo Sleepsacks for our LO. We have two in each size, and that works well for us. Underneath the sleepsack, we put him in cotton sleepers or pjs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794319 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:24:23 +0000 Weagle 794319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Unless it was really hot, we did swaddle over a onesie. I'm having a hard time remembering now, but I think we swaddled in a onesie and socks. We used the Miracle Blanket, so there was lots of fabric to keep her cozy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794318 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:22:56 +0000 Ra 794318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I know I sound like a complete idiot, but do you swaddle over a onsie or over jammies when they are newborns? What kind of jammies should I get? I'm such a newb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794313 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:19:55 +0000 Weagle 794313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 4 Halo sacks and started at size M (she was swaddled before then.) We dont put them on her now that its warm, but she wore them for about 8 months. She still fots in them. She wears regular pjs underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794311 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:18:10 +0000 immabeetoo 794311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the halo sleep sacks and we put cotton sleepers or pjs under them. I think a lot depends on what temp you keep your house. I wouldn't buy many ahead of time becaus you don't know how fast your LO will grow and you might want heavier weight pjs or fleece sacks when its colder.</p> <p>As a newborn we swaddled him in jammies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepsackshow-many-and-what-brands#post-794299 Sun, 19 May 2013 19:08:04 +0000 Ra 794299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many sleepsacks should I purchase in each size? What brands do you like best?</p> <p>Also, what do they wear under the sleep sacks? Should I buy sleep clothing as well? </p>
