HALO Sleepsack Swaddle, 3-Way Adjustable Wearable Blanket, TOG 3.0, Velboa Plush Dots, Cream, Newborn, 0-3 Months

I highly recommend the HALO sleepsack swaddle. Every new parent should have one in newborn size. Get it before he or she arrives, so you save yourself a trip to the store in those first few days! For the 2 days in the hospital and the first night at home, we swaddled our little girl in receiving blankets (tried waffle weave, thin & stretchy, thick & strong types of blankets). Well wrapping her in blankets didnt last long because she got out of them, and with her arms flailing she kept waking herself up. Not to mention, I lost sleep worrying if the suddenly loose blanket would suffocate her. After the 1st night at home, we stopped by Babies R Us and bought 3 different brands of sleep sacks. We ended up trying this Halo Swaddle Sleep sack, and the Summer Infant one (We didnt even try the swaddlepod. Just looked scary, so we returned it). Well the Summer Infant swaddler was really cute. It worked for the first little bit, but when she got *a little* bigger (like a few weeks), the velcro stopped holding. Either she got too big, or after a few times in the wash the velcro became useless. I think its a combination of both. As for the HALO Swaddle, she has been using it every day and night. My quicktake on the item: SIDS prevention: I have NO concern with this item, no more than any other general concern I feel for my baby all of the time anyway. Yes, sometimes she is able to loosen the tight wrap a bit, and it comes up above her mouth. However...this can happen with any sleepsack or receiving blanket. Plus, if its coming up a little higher then it is looser. Its not tight over her mouth (as some reviewers have claimed) Our own sleep: Every once in a while, my husband thought hed wrap her in a receiving blanket...hes incredible at swaddling, but she could get out in 10 minutes. We have never had better sleep than with this product. It is rare that she can get out of it. This is a baby that kicks and flails constantly. Appearance/fabric: The fleece factor is not my favorite. If you have ever owned a fleece jacket, you will know that it attracts every hair, fuzzball, what-have-you in the vicinity. Its also quite warm. Obviously we have AC, but during the hot hot summer we kept her in tshirts + sleepsack. For this reason, I didnt always feel comfortable putting her in her cute footie pajamas. Now that were hitting fall, i am able to put her in regular pajamas when using the sleepsack Size: She was born 72 and 20 inches. The newborn size lasted us till now at 10 weeks. She is currently 102 and 22 inches. I am back to order the small size because her feet are about to hit the bottom of the blanket. Quality of velcro: It has been through several washes, and I see no difference in the velcros ability to hold. Unlike the summerinfant brand. We always try to remember to close the velcro before washing. Other reviews: (1) mention of loops in front - I dont see these 2) claims about losing teeth? - I have no idea how this would happen. The zipper starts at the top and comes down so the pull-tab ends at her feet, so how a baby could cut her teeth on the zipper I dont know. Many pajamas have zippers so I dont know how this is any different.

Only thing that gets my baby to sleep!! The nice thing about the fleece one is that it holds my babys arms in much more securely than the cotton one. My baby just turned 2mo (already 24in tall) and the 3-6 month is pretty roomy in the leg area but definitely wraps plenty tight enough. Happy he will be able to use it for awhile.

I purchased this item for my granddaughter who struggles to sleep without being securely swaddled. This product is soft and holds up well after washing and drying. It is super soft and durable.

I bought this when my son was 4 months old and had outgrown his Original Swaddle Me, which we loved in his newborn stage. Pros: #1 I like this plush fabric as a nice compromise between the thinner cotton version and the fleece. #2 If you dont want to swaddle your babys arms, you have the option of using the wings to only swaddle the mid section. I really like this option to help transition from swaddle to sleep sack only Cons: The velcro on the wings is not the best or strongest. Some mornings I find my baby has broken out of the swaddle. I have deducted one star for this.

I gave this as a gift knowing the quality of these swaddle sacks. I know my grandbaby will love it.

Love this thing so much. Our baby cannot sleep well without it! However, all the other ones we have came with 2-way zippers and the listing for this says it should have that, but this one came with a single zipper. It makes putting it on everyday a bit of a challenge! The other ones we had with the 2-way zipper were so easy to use. So just kind of disappointing that this one is not as great.

This sleep sack is great so if you’re in the fence, just buy it. I bought it for my 3 day old daughter as my husband and i had a hard time swaddling her. she can easily have her arms out and it keeps her warm! I usually put her in just a onsie for bed in this since the fleece is warmer than other fabric. Love it! Buy it!

This sleep sack worked awesome for us through the summer. We keep our room at 60-65 degrees at night and our little girl stayed just warm enough in this. It is VERY warm though. Even at 60 degrees she didnt wear anything under this or she would get too hot. I would not get this if you keep your house any warmer than 65 with a/c or 60 with heat. It would be great for camping or power outages or if like us you just like to keep your room at igloo temps while you sleep.

Highly recommend it

Love this compared to other brands. Bought for my newborn and she sleeps great in it. Its warm, soft and easy to use.
