Blanket or SleepSack?

krsnow · #1 November 29th, 2011, 01:18 PM

I am still putting sleep sacks on my LO at night, is this weird? I have tried putting a blanket on him but he rolls around so much during the night that it comes off.

I wouldn't say it's weird, but it doesn't seem very safe to me. If he tries to stand up in his crib, which Brendan does all the time, I'd be worried about him catching his feet and falling and hitting his head.
I can't keep a blanket on Brendan either, so I've been putting socks on him under his blanket sleeper, and we just bought a pair of baby long underwear for when it gets REAL cold to put under his sleeper.

Joey stands up all the time too, I think he is used to walking around the crib in his sleep sack. But I know it's not the safest so maybe I should start getting him used to a blanket.

I have Sophia in a sleepsack, too. I just bought one for the winter time actually. I was planning on keeping her in a sleepsack. I have a crib guard on the top front rail - she likes to bite that. She will do that in or out of a sleepsack though. I was a little concerned of her biting the rail and slipping and hurting a tooth, but the guard is helping w/ that.

This. There's no WAY Jackson would fit into one, not for the last 6 months at least!

if i could find a sleep sack long enough for Ross i would use it, but i havent had any luck yet. Ross doesnt get a blanket either, just jammies and we keep his room warm enough that he doesnt need any blankets

Stevie gets blankets. He doesn't keep them on but I go in and check on him every couple of hours and pull it back over him. I also bought some footie pajamas to help keep his toesies warm.

Ellie just sleeps in footie pjs. She has a blanket but it doesn't usually stay on her.

Kinley is in a toddler bed, so I give her a blanket. I would be concerned about heer tripping and falling in a sleepsack when/if she gets up at night or in the morning. Now that it is getting cold where we live, I wil start putting her in footie pajamas or long sleeves, pants, socks.

Josh has a bunch of blankets in his crib. They usually don't stay on him. He's got one blanket that he snuggles with 24/7. But he sleeps in a zip up footie sleeper most of the time so that keeps him warm enough. I don't worry about him having blankets on. Our heater goes down to 64 degrees at night so it doesn't get really cold in here.

I put Miranda in a sleep sack every night. That's what she is used to and as soon as she's in it she falls asleep. I have one with sleeves, so her arms don't get cold. And she does get up with it all the time and moves around the crib no problems, so I'm not worried about it getting tangled or her tripping. It's pretty big and has lots of room for her legs. I really love that thing and I'm not ready to get rid of it yet. Firstly because I know that especially now in the winter she will at least be somewhat covered, plus I feel like if I take it away our routine will go out the window and she won't sleep the way she's used to.

Bishop gets a blanket. I dress him warm because he is a mover.

Rosie has had a blanket pretty much from day 1. She has 3 blankets in her crib. two she lays on they are her blankies and she has those all the time. I tried to only give her one and that didn't fly. She refused to sleep for over and hour then started screaming. Then she has the crib comforter but she mainly uses it as a pillow I think.

Her room stays fairly warm and also now with the cooler temps she is in winter footed pjs and long sleeve two pieces.

liam sleeps in footy/fleecy pajamas with a onesie underneath and socks. He is rarely covered by morning time so the way I dress him gives me piece of mind he's relatively warm

Ooh, I might have to pick those up.

Trish36 · #18 December 3rd, 2011, 11:18 AM

I like that, just wish they had sleeves.

laisydaisymama · #19 December 3rd, 2011, 03:05 PM

you still put pajamas on them, it's supposed to be a blanket

mrsjl · #20 December 3rd, 2011, 06:24 PM

Nathan has a small knit blanket. it doesn't always stay on, but his room is warm enough and he has pajamas. my 4 year old will NOT sleep under a blanket other than her small blankie, she just never has. half the time I go check on her and she's stripped off her clothes too. she just doesn't like to be too warm I guess.
