Sleepsack Addict

[Deleted]

Ada is officially addicted to her sleep sack.  We were out from 8am-1:30pm today and she hadn't napped at all.  We got home but her only summer sleep sack was in the washer. I put her down for a nap anyways because she was exhausted.  Que 40 minutes later she is still standing up in her crib walking around.  I pull the sleep sack out of the dryer and put it on her, 2 minutes later she is passed out.

On another note, we use the Halo ones.  Has anybody used the Aden and Anais ones?  Are they similiar?  They are cheaper on Amazon right now and I need to get another one so this doesn't happen again!

The regular A&A ones are thin- just like the blankets- and they are perfect for summer. They are all we use right now.

The cozy ones are 4 layers and are really thick and comfy. They're more expensive so we mix those and the halo fleece ones for winter.

Ditto all of this. Lindy, you're really going to want the fleece ones for the Colorado winter, too. The cozy a&a ones aren't quite enough come January.

Audrey is exactly the same. Will not nap without a sleep sack. She has been able to sleep a couple times at night without one. We use the A&A sack. Make sure to get the light, single-layer one for summer.

Thanks! Off to amazon to order a thin a&a one, they are cuter than the Halo ones too.

We still put her in the halo fleece in the summer. Lol. We like our central air cool at night so she gets out in that and long sleeved footies.

G's room is close to the a/c unit, so it's pretty chilly in there in the summer. He's still in halo fleece sacks at night.

I loved our four layer a&a one, but th zipper broke. Upon reading reviews, it seems this is common.

I think I am addicted to them! I need to get new fleece ones for winter. I like that the sacks keep their legs from getting stuck in the crib slats.

[TrudyCampbell]

I just got an A&A cozy and halo fleece from diapers.com for the winter bc they were on sale and I got a size large... hoooly shit, they are huge! I think I could fit into them. I'm hoping they will be okay!

I'd call and complain!

Lol.  This.  I'm spoiled and I like it cold at night.

I've never used the sleepsack for naps, though.  I just put her down and run out!  I don't want to waste time with the sleepsack!

[laurack]

I plan to keep Matilda in the sack until she's crib-broken. I just can't risk her climbing out, the sack will keep her contained!

Long live the Sack!

Yes.
We used the sleep sack with DS1 until he was almost 3 and had to move out of the crib for DS2.

@lindy my kids can't sleep without them either!  We have all thicknesses and weights for any potential weather & season, lol.

I can't believe they're offering such deep discounts.

Same here...I am terrified of the big kid bed transition. I am hoping it doesn't have to happen until our next house and seperate bedrooms.

Lol.  I actually checked out amazon for those after this thread to see the cost and noticed that.  WTF?  So expensive and NOT on sale at all.

We are trying the sack again after a few weeks without it. I'm hoping it tricks her back into a longer stretch. I stopped using it because sleep was the same with or without so I have no real reason to think it will make a difference.

She isn't alone, Taylina is addicted to her's as well.. I've sewn my own for her and just finished sewing her longer ones because she outgrew the ones I had her in.. sorry no help for what you were asking about..
