Disclosure: I have received a HALO SleepSack in exchange for my review. The opinions are 100% my own.
Our family loves HALO SleepSacks. We have tried the micro-fleece, the cotton and today we are reviewing the cable-knit. Although every SleepSack would make a perfect gift, I think this one is just a little fancier and therefore making my Gift Guide this year. What better present for your little one than safe sleepwear and a comfy blanket all in one. I love the SleepSacks for traveling because you don't' have to fumble with a blanket on the plane saving your baby from all the germs that can be picked up from a dropped blanket.
HALO Innovation's SleepSack wearable blankets have become the standard for hospital nurseries and parents alike. In fact, 1,000 hospital nurseries use the HALO SleepSack Swaddle instead of blanket through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. HALO Innovations also offers free Safe Sleep Practices kits to childbirth educations to help further the cause of SIDS prevention.
What is SIDS? This is the sudden death of an infant less than 1 year of age that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly. There is a type of sleep related SIDS that is associated with airway obstruction in the sleep environment caused by suffocation by soft bedding, another person rolling on the infant, becoming wedged between two object, or strangulation. To counteract these dangers, we need to create a safe sleep environment for our little ones.
Safe Sleep Practices begin with:
ALWAYS
- Place baby to sleep on his or her back at nap time and at night time.
- Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snuggly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
- Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
- Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
- Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
NEVER
- Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface
- Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.

ReplyDeleteCindy B (on rc/fb) ~ I love the Halo sleepsacks because they keep baby warm without the worry of entanglement/suffocation or the worry that baby will kick off the covers and get too cool. Plus I didn't know they had the cable knit which is super cute.
