    Ours only tolerated being swaddled and then using a sleep sack until she was a few months old. Then we just dressed her warmly and let her sleep without.

    Yes, ever since we stopped swaddling. I also think of it as a sleep cue. We use them regardless if she's in a footed or non-footed sleeper. Though, we do have different weights and fabrics. I'm more paranoid about her being cold than hot (even though we're in SoCal). I think the weight and sort of wrap on her legs help keep her in sleeping-mode when she moves or startles herself awake.

    @chopsuey119: @MsLipGloss: ours is at 72 at night, and DH still gets hot. I am fine during the week when he isn't here but when he is, like I have my own personal furnance in bed with me.

    @Smurfette: @MsLipGloss: dang you gals have hot blooded husbands! the day you came over the thermostat was set at 74. I was worried everyone would be cold. Ha!
    72 at night seems so chilly to me!

    @Smurfette: @chopsuey119: Ours is set at 73 (DH would drop it to 68 if I would let him!), and I do fine until DH crawls into bed!

    She does! She was swaddled for the first 2 months and currently in the summer infant sleep sacks (she is 5 months). She loved them!

    we used to use a sleepsack, but now that it is summer we ditched it and just use footed PJ's. i was worried since it was also her sleep cue, but she did just fine without it.

    We don't use one right now because it's so warm and he's a sweaty baby, but will probably use one once the cold weather rolls around.

    So we tried no sleep sack tonight, took her longer to fall asleep and then she woke up twice so sleep sack back on!!! She never wakes up till 3 or later, so twice in the first two hours. Unless something else is going on.

    LO used a sleepsack up until 23 months when we transitioned her to her big girl bed. She wore it year-round - we live in Canada and even in the summers, she'd wear short sleeved pjs and a light babydeedee sleepsack.

    @Smurfette: I think the little bit of weight even, helps with the morrow(sp?) reflex, that they might still have a bit of.

    My thought process behind what I put LO in to sleep: I want him to have as many layers as I do. DH and I sleep with a top sheet and a quilt during the summer, so I want LO to have two layers as well. He sleeps in footless cotton pjs and a cotton Halo sleepsack. During the winter, I'll probably increase the weight of the sleepsack when we switch to a thicker comforter/duvet.

    I looove our A & A sleep sacks! LO uses his as a lovey, too, so it's double purpose. We run the air at night during the summer and I don't worry about him being too warm in a thin footed cotton sleeper and the A & A sack.

    We do pjs and an A&A sleep sack when it's cooler, but it's been so hot lately that we just do a short sleeved onesie and sleep sack.
