Lastly, I would prefer she not spend her time in her crib standing! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-651697 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:19:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 651697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old walks around just fine in his sleep sack!! Haha. I know it's kinda late to be in a sleep sack but he takes so much comfort in it. He's a creature of habit! He's still in a crib, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-651657 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 10:04:56 +0000 mossyslane 651657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Oh, what a funny image--escaping from a crib in a sack! Thanks for the input--I'm so not ready to let go of the sleeping sack yet (when I pick her up out of the crib it looks like a little gown:) so we'll hang onto it for awhile more...</p> <p>@cheesetomywhine: Thank you! That does make me feel better:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-651034 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:57:33 +0000 autumnlove 651034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO stands in her sleep sacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650975 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:21:45 +0000 littlek 650975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO stands in his sleep sack all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650973 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:20:58 +0000 Rubies 650973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 19 months and is still in a sleep sack and it never stopped her from standing in her crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650970 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:20:17 +0000 cheesetomywhine 650970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mossyslane: My lo is still in a sleepsack.

It's so cold here and LO hasn't been barefoot since summertime! That's great to know, thank you.</p> <p>@ohapostrophe: Good point--ours is pretty snug. Thank you!</p> <p>@Weagle: Good to know. I'm definitely not ready to say goodbye to sleep sacks:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650821 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:08:04 +0000 Freckles 650821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started pulling herself up at 9 months and wearing a sleep sack never hurt this milestone. What i found really helped was having her go barefoot! We are in Canada so it is chilly but once i let her go barefoot she was pulling herself up so easily. She is 11 months and even with the sleep sack (we have the puffy deedee sack) she can pull herself up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650756 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:44:35 +0000 ohapostrophe 650756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe get a looser one? My son is in his DeeDee sleepsack at 23 months, and he walks all around in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650746 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:39:56 +0000 Weagle 650746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO still stands and walks around in her normal, non-footed sleep sack.

I think she probably has lots of time during the day to practice pulling up when she's not wearing the sack if that's what your ped thinks the problem is? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650733 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:30:14 +0000 immabeetoo 650733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece walked in her sleep sack!

It never hampered his ability to pull up and stand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stopping-sleep-sack-so-lo-can-pull-to-stand#post-650715 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:16:17 +0000 mossyslane 650715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At LOs 9 month check-up this morning, our pediatrician suggested no longer using the sleep sack so that LO can get more practice pulling up to stand (I haven't ever found her standing up in her crib at the railing). Our apt. is a bit cool at night and I'm concerned that she'll get too chilly and she also sleeps much better with the sack. Does anyone have experience with this or advice? I don't want to unintentionally hamper a milestone but until spring really comes to New England, I want to make sure she's cozy and warm. </p>
