Baby sleeping bag

pigginteacher · Oct 11th, 2010, 16:06 PM

When didu start using a sleeping bag? I originally swaddled my LO but she doeant like it now so we have just been wrapping her lower body. I want to transfer her to a cot soon, so was thinking about using her sleeping bag but wondered if she would sleep ok as she is using being wrapped. Any advice?

the general rule of thumb is if they're over 8lb 13oz and going off your siggy your lo is then it'll be fine! They are the best invention ever, if you night feed then they are brill because they don't get cold, and at last feed you can put it on before they fall asleep and just put them in their cot straight away.

Sure she will be fine, as her legs are sort of swaddled in them anyway - get her in her cot too! H started sleeping through at 7 weeks because we did! x

I didnt put my LO in a sleeping bag till he was 4 months. I was worried about them for some silly reason, now i wish i had put him in them as soon as he was over the minimum weight for them. He sleeps much better, i think he was making himself cold kicking his blanket off all the time, plus i dont have to worry about finding him with a blanket that he's pulled over his head either!

We went from full swaddle, to swaddling with arms out, to the sleeping bag. This took a little over four months for us (since she loved to be swaddled), but I absolutely love the sleeping bags. The one we have now zips from the top down so that you can change diapers without having to remove the sleeping bag completely. The sleeping bag gives you so much peace of mind since you know they can't get it over their heads.

Hi!
Had to respond to this as I have just been sitting at the computer for the past hour waiting for my little one to wake up...because he is using a sleeping bag for the first time!! He has been wrapped/swaddled since birth for 8 months (yes I know waaaaaaaay too long!!). I thought I would give today a go because he was very tired after his swimming lesson....Fingers crossed tonight goes as well!!
Good Luck!

I have yet to put him in a sleeping bag. Not cause I dont want to, its cause he falls asleep and Im not about to start moving him around! I want to though, I feel like hes plenty old.

i love them. Put kacey in 1 at 6 weeks and she slept 12 hours straight in it. Before that she was walking up cold at 3am cause she kicked her blanket off

I love sleeping bags! My lo was in one from about 6 weeks old. Just before the last feed of the night I put her in hers and she knows it signals bedtime!

I love sleeping bags too. I can't remember how old LO was but I remember he was 9lbs so I think just a few weeks old.

He too would startle if we put him into a cold bed so they worked a treat.

IMO it takes out the worry of them getting covers over their heads and keeps them warm all night long.
