What about the Halo Big Kids?

Can you turn off the fan? Giving her a blanket and socks seems lik it's worth a try.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: If your celing fan has a reverse cord or switch then changing the direction it spins will puch the air up instead of down. Our fans have one cord for the light, one for the speed and one for the direction.

I think that this age if you put a blanket on her when she goes to sleep she should be fine, eventually she will learn how to keep it on/pull it up

@abbydabbydoodlebug: Ideal baby sleep temperature is between 66-67 degrees, with a layer or two. If her room isn't much warmer than that, I think it's fine! My son's room hovers between 68-70 and he's fine.

We just used a blanket. Couldn't do one piece pjs because of potty training. We bought a large blanket from pottery barn kids that would cover him even if he rolled around.

So my son is almost 14 months and still in a sleep sack. But my doc said at his 1 year we'll visit it was ok to start giving him a blanket. So what we are doing to get him used to it is still using the sleep sack and also using an A+A swaddle blanket (the really thin kind). So I lay him down and give him his lovey then I spread the swaddle blanket over him. It's light enough that he won't overheat but I figure (maybe?) he's hetting used to having a blanket. I will say that surprisingly it has stayed on better than I thought. He moves around so I thought for sure it would be off in 2 seconds. But sometimes when we go to bed, even after he's rotated 180, it's still on.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: the worst that has happened is he ends up hugging it like a big lovey

We are in Texas and I'm a proponent of using the halo early walker sleep sacks for as long as possible. My reasoning = I've had a couple friends with kids who climbed out of their cribs early. I also had one friend whose toddler would take her clothes and diaper off. The sleep sack seemed to limit the likelihood of both of those issues for us.

For what it's worth, my 29 month old just stopped using because he asked to use a blanket instead. He doesn't stay covered the whole night but wears short sleeve shirt and pants pjs and seems to be fine (our a/c is at 74/75 and he sleeps with his fan on medium).

DS is 14 months and he still sleeps in a sack. But around a year we got those Sherpa dream buddies from Costco - it's like an animal pillow plus a toddler sized plush and Sherpa blanket. $10 a piece - can't beat it. We lay him on the pillow and cover him with his blanket and leave. It never stays on but he grabs for it in his sleep and just having a warm blanket next to him I would think would help with warmth. I figure eventually he will learn to use it right but I am fine with a sleep sack until he is in a big boy bed.
