Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended
We love this wearable blanket so much that we bought every kind. They are wonderful. First I must say that they, obviously, do not confine the arms, so if your baby still gets startled by her jerky arm movements when trying to fall asleep he/she may not be ready for this yet. I am slowly making the transition from the Miracle Blanket over to this. My baby still needs the extra swaddling at night and when she is fussy, but she likes the freedom during her naps that this provides and likes to get at her fingers too.

I did not find that my cotton sleep sack shrank. The zipper doesn't lay exactly flat on her, but I haven't found this a problem at all.

I do feel the sizes run a bit small. My baby is wearing the small size and at 23" has just about outgrown it. I'd recommend getting them one size above what you think you need.

I don't like that there are no arm sleeves at all. I really would have liked the choice of putting her in one with or without sleeves.

This cotton is so nice and light (I wonder if the other reviewer was reviewing a fleece, flannel or quilted one instead) that I can't imagine it being any lighter without being to fragle to hold together.

I very much like that the zipper is "upside down". It undoes from the bottom which means you don't have to completely unzip your baby for diaper changes and the zipper tab doesn't poke into the baby's chin.

A safe alternative to blankets
With SIDS to worry about, I really do sleep more soundly at night knowing that my baby is warm but not at risk of being smothered by a loose blanket. The bottom-to-top zipper really is convenient for diaper changes, and while the sleepsack did shrink somewhat in the wash, that really hasn't affected its fit on our baby. We went from a fleece sleepsack (infant size) to a cotton one (medium) when the weather started getting warm. Our baby is big (14 lbs and 25 inches at 12 weeks), so we got a medium (one size larger than recommended) hoping it would fit all summer. We shouldn't have worried. The sizes are very generous, but even a very big sleepsack works - there's enough room to grow into without being loose enough at the arm- or neckholes to cause tangling or a smothering hazard. It's perfect for summer nights that are just cool enough that we want to be sure that the baby's feet and legs stay covered, even if her nightgown rides up. Overall, I wouldn't trade the sleepsack for a regular blanket, and I highly recommend it to all parents of infants.

Great for when your baby gets too big to be swaddled
When our son started escaping from the receiving blankets we'd swaddle him in, we started using a sleep sack. It took a couple of weeks for him to adjust to it, but now he loves it and goes right to sleep when we put it on him and set him in the crib. He is 30 inches tall and about to outgrow the medium, so we have a large ready for him. He rolls all over the crib during the night and the sleep sack moves with him. It is never pulled tight or twisted. We dress him in something with long sleeves so that his arms stay warm and during the colder winter nights we added "No-Scratch Mittens" from Babies R Us to keep his hands warm. When our son was still in a bassinet, the sleep sack worked well with a sleep positioner to keep him on his back. When swaddled he would scoot out of the positioner, but with the sleep sack his arms were above the positioner and he stayed in place. I've washed both a cotton and a fleece sleep sack dozens of times and they held up great. There's no shrinking, fading or unraveling and the zippers still work perfectly. The sleep sack is the perfect way for our son to stay warm at night and I am so glad I have it.
