Halo SleepSack Safer Way to Sleep Initiative

One of the hardest things about raising children today is that it is done a lot differently than that of our parents.  Crib safety is one of the major changes that I have noticed.  We all slept on our stomachs and probably had blankets and bumpers in our cribs.  All of these things are now considered unsafe and a great SIDS risk.  I have teamed with HALO to tell you about their Safer Way to Sleep Initiative and introduce you to the HALO SleepSack as the alternative to blankets.

HALO Innovation's SleepSack Swaddle has become the standard for hospitals nurseries and parent alike.  In fact, 1,000 hospital nurseries use the HALO SleepSack Swaddle instead of blankets through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative.  That is 1.5 million births getting first-hand, in-hospital experience with the HALO SleepSack Swaddle and safe sleep practicies!  Leading health organizations agree that modeling proper baby care in the hospital is the single biggest influence on how parents care for their baby at home.  HALO Innovations also offers Safe Sleep Practices kits to childbirth educators to help further the cause of SIDS prevention.

We are in the process of transitioning Nugget from swaddle to SleepSack.  Although a hard transition it seems to be, we really do like the SleepSack.  The zipper provides access for easier diaper changes and the cotton is very soft.  The design of the sack allows for Nugget to twist and flip while remaining safe and without a blankeet up by his face.

The HALO SleepSack has no sleeves which allows you to add a long sleeve onesie underneath for your baby when it is cold or nothing at all when it is a little warmer.  Nugget is 28 inches long and 16lbs and fits great in the medium.  He is just now getting too long for the SleepSack Swaddle.

The SleepSack definitely puts Nugget into a deeper sleep, making for a productive nap.   His feet don't get cold and it does provide a comfy cozy feeling because it isn't super baggy.
