Sleepsacks-HALO & Carters-question.....

I like them both and use the fleece. I do, however, like the Carters better because they have sleeves and started making them with a bottom zipper for easy changing.

My question is-what do you put them in underneath something like the Carters?? I don't know if I'm overdressing or underdressing DD.....TIA!

Re: Sleepsacks-HALO & Carters-question.....

See this is my problem.....

I LOVE all the sacks DS got at my shower and want to use them, but they are all fleece and if I swaddle him too, which is a must, he will be too hot and that terrifies me,.....

I have 3 cotton sacks which I use under his swaddle, and I put a short sleeved onesie underneath,.......

Same here also. I just wanted to add that the packing on the sleep sacks say that they are made without sleeves to prevent overheating. Before I read that, I was like, what good are these, they don't cover his arms!! Chat Icon But, they are made that way for a reason!

DD was the swaddle queen, she still is swaddled for naps at 5.5 months, but goes in the sleep sak for bed.

Do you have to use the sleepsack if you're still swaddling? Can't you just put footed PJ's on him and then swaddle him? Just a suggestion- it may save you some aggrevation! During the summer when DD was a newborn, we'd swaddle her either in just her diaper or in a short-sleeve onesie, that's it.

The one with arms, I just use that alone. The one without arms, I put light cotton jammies on underneath.

Re: Sleepsacks-HALO & Carters-question.....

DD's room is between 67 and 70 degrees at night. I always check to make sure her hands and feet are warm when I get her up in the morning, that she wasn't sweating and her diaper isn't a ton wetter than usual. This indicates to me that she was dressed properly.

I dress her in a shortsleeve onesie and then either a long sleeve terry sleeper with a fleece sleeveless sack or a long sleeve fleece sleeper with a cotton sleeveless sack.
