So, do mobile babies wear sleep sacks?

[TrudyCampbell]

Sorry- this is all new to me. 

Violet rolled in her sleep in her sleepsack and looks SO uncomfortable. I think her arm is lost in the sack somewhere. 

If your baby is standing and all that jazz, do you still use a sack? Can they move while they are in it? 

I'm afraid to ditch it because she's so used to it. 

[imimahoney]

Yes, we still do. Ari crawls, stand up and very slowly cruises in his fleece sleep sacks. I plan on using them until the Spring.

My LO still wears hers. She rolls all over, sits and pulls up with it on.

She pulls up and crawls and we still use the sleep sack. Sometimes she is sitting up or standing in her sleep sack in the morning. It doesn't bother her.

[TrudyCampbell]

Okay, cool. So I guess I'll stick with it. I like using them but I didn't want to be screwing her up somehow. Thanks!

This. I'm starting to transition to a blanket just bc I don't want to buy the next size up soon

Definitely yes. Bought the size large recently so she's good for a long time! She has no problem moving in it, I always fund her standing in there screaming out.

S rolls, crawls and stands in his sleep sack. I plan on using them until he moves into a big boy bed.

[spaghetticat]

I still use one.

[Deleted]

M doesn't. But she has had a blanket for a long time.

[unclejesse]

We never used one, wonder if we are in the minority?

Christian still uses his.

[mrsjaymay]

We stopped using one when she became mobile. She sleeps with a small tag blankie now and does fine.

[thedahliharpa]

Yes, H did for a long time too.

[erniebufflo]

When we stopped swaddling, sleep sacks just no longer made sense for us, as we couldn't put the girls in their swings or bouncer with a sleep sack. So, no, my mobile babies do not use them.

I actually didn't start using one until after J was mobile.  I didn't want him in his own crib without some sense of having a blanket, more for my own piece of mind.  He does fine.  I find him sitting all the time in it.

[eav2c]

He would if he slept in his crib or PnP. There were a few times he did briefly and would roll with a sleep sack. I didn't think it was a big deal and he did fine. They do have an older version of a sleepsack for "big-little" kids so I would think it's perfectly safe and fine to use for a mobile babe.

[charlielove]

Yup, she still wears it! I'm afraid to go without too, since she is so used to it.

[Deleted]

Yes. He cruises and crawls just fine in it. He has even taken a step in it but he's only taken 3 steps unassisted at most.

[nilex0102]

Yep, we used it for a long time and will do the same now. Also she knows when we put it on it is time for bed.

[kdrake8]

When we ditched thr sleep suit, we just ditched everything. She wears her fleece pjs also I have a blanket on her, bc it's her lovey that she picked. I keep it around her waist and I feel comfortable with that.

[Deleted]

Thad rarely wore one, but after he got all twisted in it and bit it standing up in his crib, I stopped.

[formerlyllizzyb]

DS wears either a cotton or fleece sleep sack, depending on weather. I'm about to buy a size large in each. I plan on keeping him in them as long as I can! I figure it will keep him from climbing out of his crib, and it's a great sleepy cue. DS pulls up, sits, crawls, and cruises around his crib in his sack. It's pretty cute

[Regina Philange]

We just ditched the sleep sack actually. He started falling alseep recently eating his last bottle for a few days, so we didnt want to wake him and put him in it. Now he is wide awake after, but we didnt start using it again.

[mumegs]

We still use one although she's just starting to stand so we haven't really dealt with that problem yet. I put her in the crib and she rolls to her stomach and falls asleep, it hasn't been a problem really.

[ruby412]

Violet still wears her sleep sack. She doesn't pull up in her crib, but she'll crawl around a little. If you think your Violet is going to be a tummy sleeper, I'd just put her down on her tummy in her sleep sack. That way she'll get a little less tangled.

[carawestt]

I only put Lincoln in them when it's going to be a really cold night. But he can move around no problem and still stands up when he wakes up in the morning just as good as when he's not wearing it.

[rxbeth]

We still use them for night time sleep. We stopped using for naps months ago because the sleep sack would make her scream like she was being murdered.

I just tried this and it worked! Ahh I'm not used to seeing her in new spots in her crib!

Yay, success!
