Halo SleepSack Review: Baby Sleeps Safe and Sound [Giveaway]

I had always heard about wearable blankets, but I never got the pleasure of owning one when MJ was a baby. We always kept his room climate controlled and dressed him appropriately for the evening, but there are times that I wish I could have just tossed a blanket over him. I never did due to the fear that he may smother himself had he kicked it over his face.

The Halo SleepSack is a wonderful way to ensure your baby is nice and warm in his or her crib, while knowing that they are completely safe. I am so glad that I will get the chance to try a Halo SleepSack this time around, safety is one of my proirities and it's good to know that the blanket will stay in place throughout the night. A friend of mine found a few at a local retail store and went crazy! Since we do not yet know what I am having, she decided that she would buy me 3 different Halo SleepSacks, one pink, one blue, and another with multi-colored polka dots! She's nuts, I know, but I am very thankful that she thought of me.

From the Halo SleepSack website:

The unique HALO® SleepSack® wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. No wonder it's the #1 trusted choice of hospitals and parents alike. In addition to sleeping safer, the HALO SleepSack wearable blanket helps babies sleep better too. It's a warm, cuddly blanket they can't kick off, ensuring baby sleeps soundly throughout the night. And when baby is sleeping safe and sound, moms and dads can rest easy.

SIDS claims 5,000 babies annually, so it is no surprise that the Halo Sleepsack is doctor recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics has suggested the use of wearable blankets to reduce the risk of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which is the accidental suffocation of infants before they are able to move their heads on their own. Halo Sleepsacks are used in top hospital nationwide, they are the #1 trusted blanket choice.

I decided that I would open up the white polka dot SleepSack. This one is made of 100% soft cotton fabric and is light weight, good for those warmer nights where a thinner blanket is needed. The inverted zipper makes diaper changes easy, won’t pinch baby’s skin and makes it harder for an older child to unzip. The Halo Sleepsack is sleeveless, allowing room for ventilation, yet has a roomy closed bottom to fit nicely over any other sleeper or diaper and keep warmth in. I am definitely going to be using this product when the baby is born in February.

Since we do not know what we are having, I decided that I would giveaway one of the two remaining Halo Sleepsacks that I have. They are both made of micro-fleece and have the same wonderful attributes as the polka dot sleepsack that I reviewed above. This one is much warmer, so somebody's baby is gonna be happy this winter! The winner will be able to choose the pink or blue, they are both brand new and a size medium, which fits babies 6-12 mos, 26-30" in height and approximately 16-24 lbs.
