dschurma says "Wonderful blanket, LOVE the swaddle feature!" about Halo 2-in-1 Microfleece SleepSack Swaddle

We started out with a different swaddle wrap, which we loved, but when it "died", I decided to try the Halo Sleep Sack with Swaddle. We found this to be perfect for our 1 month old baby. It kept him warm, since you're no longer supposed to place infants under loose blankets. The swaddle feature was great; without using the swaddle, Alex was not a good sleeper. With the swaddle, he slept as well as one would expect for a small baby.

The Sleep Sack with Swaddle has fasteners to keep the swaddle in place, so there are no worries about the swaddle (which is technically a separate piece) sliding up and over baby's head. I wish that the swaddle feature was available on larger sizes of the Sleep Sack. Our little guy outgrew the newborn Sleep Sack before outgrowing his desire to be swaddled.

Another thing worth mentioning is the ease of changing diapers during the night while using this swaddle. Since the zipper opens from the bottom, you can leave baby's arms swaddled while opening...

white27 says "Great for newborns" about Halo 2-in-1 Microfleece SleepSack Swaddle

I recieved this as a gift from Emerson Birthing Center when I had my third daughter who was well over 9 pounds. I used it alternately with the Swaddle Me I had for my other two daughters. However, my third daughter didn't really like to be swaddled much and did better with her arms free. Also, at 22 inches long, the newborn size sleepsack just didn't fit very well. However, the concept is great. It was a bit tricky to get the swaddle part of the sleepsack in the right position so she couldn't get her arms free. We were frequently readjusting it because she had broken loose. Despite these shortcomings, I would still recommend it to any new parent as it is much safer and easier than having a blanket in a newborns bed. I am very glad that it was given to me since with the third child I would not have gone out to buy any new baby gear, as newborn things are only used for the shortest amount of time.

(Mom of a gorgeous boy cracked me up as a tag choice, so I had to use it.)

I recieved a Halo Sleepsack in my hospital swag at Overlake Medical Center and what a gift it turned out to be! Hospitals support this product because it keeps dangerous loose blankets out of newborns beds, while also being super easy to use. (Have you ever tried to swaddle a wiggly baby, especially one who was NINE pounds at birth, with one of those tiny sheets of flannel they call a receiving "blanket?" Uh, yeah.)

My son loved being wrapped up tight for the first couple months of his life, and this made that quick and easy to do. I also found the product fairly durable and easy to machine wash.

Being that I received this as a gift, I'm not entirely sure how much they retail for, but if it was between $20 and $30, I would definitely think it was worth it. Safety, durability, comfort, and cuddliness - all great.

Also - it makes nursing a baby easy because they can't wiggle! Just watch out if you have a sleepy......
