Since your baby can’t sleep with a blanket or quilt for the first part of their life, you might be wondering what you can do to keep them warm and comfortable while they are sleeping. After all, babies do sleep quite a bit in their first year of life. Swaddle blankets can be a great option. However, if you need something a little different than a swaddle, a wearable blanket is the best option.
Our infant wearable blankets are made from 100% cotton sateen and have a polyester fill to keep baby warm during cooler months. The infant sleep sacks slip over baby’s arms and zip up in the front. Our baby sleeping bags also feature adjustable underarm snaps so you can adjust them to fit babies as they grow. This allows you to keep baby warm without a loose blanket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe for a baby to sleep in a wearable blanket?
Yes, it is considered safe and highly recommended by pediatric experts and safety organizations. Wearable blankets, often referred to as sleep sacks, are the safest alternative to using traditional loose blankets or bedding in a baby’s crib.
How long should babies wear wearable blankets?
Wearable blankets, often called sleep sacks, are considered safe and effective for continuous use throughout infancy and the early toddler years. Most children safely wear wearable blankets until they transition out of the crib and into a toddler bed, which typically occurs between 18 months and 3 years old.
Do sleepsacks prevent SIDS?
No, sleep sacks (also known as wearable blankets) do not directly prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, they are highly recommended by pediatricians and major health organizations as a critical component of creating a safer sleep environment for infants.
