As it is getting colder out, I am debating whether or not to change up LO's sleep "uniform." He has always slept in "appopriate" weight pajamas and in a lighter A&A sleepsack. I know that he is old enough now to sleep with a blanket (he's 12 months old) but I am still a bit skeptical, not to mention that he is a little wiggle worm and moves all around the crib at night!
Should I just move him into a thicker sleepsack? If so, can you recommend one?

We have a few of the Halo early walker sleep sacks and they are great! We put a onesie, fleece jammies and the fleece sleep sack on her. We have an old house though and it averages 64 degrees in her room at night.

I sewed a fleece one. It is super easy!
My mom/MIL are horrified we "don't let him sleep with blankets." Pssh. He would kick off a blanket, whereas he actually stays warm in his sleep sack.

Another vote for baby deedee...LO has the heavier sleep sack from there in size 6-18 months and he is quite cozy in it!
The other I would recommend is Grobag in 2.5 tog. He slept in that when he was around 4 months since it was the middle of winter at that point. They had the side zip in the 0-6 month sleep sacks.

We have the Baby Deedee as well - love it! DD sleeps in socks, footed cotton or velour pajamas (sometimes with a onesie under the cotton PJs), and the Deedee. It's about 64-66 in her room at night.

We have various sleep sacks depending on which pjs and the temp -- the warmest is the Halo sleep sack - it's super cozy. We also have a cotton one and I can't remember who makes it but its a good in between warmth.
My lO is also 12 months - he moves so much I think the sleep sack is best still. For his bday we got a couple big ones he can grow into also!

C is 19 months and sleeps with the comforter from her crib bedding set. She legitimately sleeps under it.

LO is 15 months today! He sleeps with a fleece sleeper and an A&A dream blanket. Sometimes he kicks off the blanket, but if he's cold, he'll use it. During the weekend naps, he sleeps in his onesie plus a warmer sleep sack depending on the weather.

@loveisstrange: I've been considering putting my daughter's quilt in her crib now that she's older and it's getting cold. Still haven't pulled the trigger. Not sure what I'm afraid of at this point...

@mediagirl: Honestly, C has been sleeping with hers since like 11 months old. She loves to chew on the corners when she's trying to fall asleep.

LO sleeps in a 4 layer A&A sleep sack, a blanket would never stay on her, she moves around too much
@scg00387: @septca: @2PeasinaPod: not to thread jack, but how thick is the baby deedee? the 4 layer A&A one we have is thick-ish, but i am looking for a thicker winter sleep sack.

Ll hates sleep sacks....we let him sleep with his aa bamboo dream blanket....although usually he ends up kicking it off or rolling on top of it. But it is so snuggly!

@DillonLion: I am always looking for the footed ones in LO's size and can never seem to find them! If anyone has found the footed ones bigge than 9 months, please let me know!!!!

We use a halo sleep sack. I liked some other ones but they were much more expensive. The halo ones are cheap and cozy!

@Periwinkle: do you have a Children's Place near you? They have footed sleepers for up to, like, 3 years.

@.twist.: very good know. We do have Children's Place and I should check it out. I was so sad to learn that Carter's doesn't go up above 9months in the sleep and plays. Boo.

We love the Halo sleep sacks - cotton in the summer, fleece with fleece PJs underneath in the winter. M moves around in the crib too much for a regular blanket.

@Periwinkle: lol yea, I've looked at some of the sleepers in Children's Place and thought I could fit into them! I feel like it gets a little ridiculous at some point! Hahaha

@NovBaby1112: I've never seen the 4 layer a&as to compare but it's pretty warm, like a light/medium weight comforter would be.
@Periwinkle: I know I have a few 12m and 18m carters footed pjs? Old Navy and Gap both have them at least up to 18-24 and the children's place has them up to at least 4T.

My toddler doesn't wear a sleep sack, and my infant wears the Halo newborn sleep sack (without the swaddle part). I love Baby Deedee, but the smallest size is too big for my infant.

@Periwinkle: Check the pajamas section at Carters! They have footed ones online and in the store, but they just don't call them sleep and plays. They also have them at Target.
Now that it's winter weather here again, she wears a cotton onesie, a fleece footed pj, socks and a cotton Halo sleep sack.

@NovBaby1112: Definitely thicker than a fleece blanket. The reason we love the sacks so much is b/c it's thick all the way around him, so it's like a little mini sleeping bag for him. Not so thick that he's sweating, but he sure is warm when I take him out!

@rattles: I've actually never looked in the pajamas section! I think I got frustrated when I couldn't find a bigger size w the other infant sleep and plays, so I just refused to believe they made them! I'll check it out
