Keep Your Baby Warm and Safe with the Wearable Blanket and SleepSack Swaddle from HALO SleepSack

Baby gear for safe sleeping. Even though the weather is a little warmer now than it has been, we still have a few months of cooler weather. It may be tempting to some to want to bundle your baby up in a blanket or two in their crib, bassinet, or cradle. Well, I hope that instead moms and dads will consider trying the Wearable Blanket and Swaddle Blanket from Halo SleepSack. Many parents don’t realize how tragic a simple thing like a blanket can be. That innocent enough blanket can work it’s way up over your baby’s face at night while they sleep, having tragic consequences. Halo was created by a parent who lost his baby to SIDS in 1991. Since 1994 Halo has been working hard to develop products that will be safe and encourage healthy sleeping patterns. The Halo SleepSack wearable blanket is a great invention. It reduces the amount of carbon dioxide that is re-breathed while your baby sleeps, which has been associated with one cause of SIDS. It keeps your baby warm, toasty, and most of all SAFE. The Wearable Blanket comes in several color, pattern, and fabric choices, including a 100% organic cotton wearable blanket. The Wearable Blanket is the #1 Safe Sleep Product gold seal from the First Candle/SIDS alliance. I don’t know about you, but anything that will keep my baby safe and reduce the risk of SIDS is an awesome invention.

The SleepSack Swaddle from Halo is perfect for newborns. It also is a wearable blanket, but with a removable swaddle feature on it to keep your newborn feeling secure, lessen their startle reflex, and help them just sleep better overall. What’s great about these products from Halo SleepSack is that they allow room for your baby to squirm and kick, without kicking off the blanket, allowing them to become too cold. They have an inverted zipper to allow easy access for diaper changes, and a Back To Sleep logo embroidered on the front for a helpful reminder in case you decide to lay them on their tummies.

Even when the weather turns warm again, the wearable blanket is still an excellent option for your baby. You can dress them in a light tee shirt or onesie and the blanket. The 100 % cotton ones would be perfect for warmer weather. I urge every parent to get at least one wearable blanket for your baby, give one as a baby shower gift, or give to a friend. Let’s keep our baby’s as safe as possible while they sleep peaceful at night or nap time. Here are a few suggestions for safe sleeping from the Halo SleepSack website:

Safe Sleeping Tips

Back is Best for Baby’s Safest Sleep…

By following these simple steps, parents and caregivers can help their baby survive and thrive:

• Place your baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and night time

• Use a safety approved crib with a firm, tight-fitting mattress

• Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers and positioners)

• Use a SleepSack™ wearable blanket to replace loose blankets in your baby’s crib

• DO NOT put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins, etc.)

• Room sharing is safer than bed sharing

• DO NOT dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature between 68-72 degrees fahrenheit

• DO NOT let anyone smoke around your baby or be in a room where someone has recently smoked

• Educate relatives, baby sitters and other caregivers about these important safety tips

• Tummy time is important for babies while they are awake and being supervised. Place your baby on his or her tummy for playtime to help strengthen their upper body muscles.
