Parents are often concerned about whether their baby is too cold or too hot to sleep well. And, we want babies to sleep as much as possible. When it’s time to stop swaddling your baby, we advise to transition to a sleep sack. Here are the top 10 best baby sleep sacks that can help your sleep better in no particular order.
Zipadee-Zip Sleep Sack
We have been recommending the Zipadee-Zip for a very long time. It’s a great swaddle transition product because your baby will likely feel more secure allowing him or her to sleep better at night and at nap time. The primary feature of the Zipadee-Zip is the “wings” that cover your baby’s hands without restricting movement. There are many sizes and patterns available for purchase, the product is of great quality, and we have had many clients rave about this product!
Woolino 4 Season Sleep Sack
The Woolino 4 Season Ultimate Baby Sleep Bag Sack has been a top seller for over a decade, and for good reason. When your baby sleeps better, so do you. Merino wool is very soft, hypoallergenic, and temperature regulating. This award-winning sleep sack isn’t cheap, however, you don’t nee a different one for different seasons and you can use this sleep sack until the age of 2 years old, which means you won’t have to buy a new size every few months like some of the others. It also has four shoulder snaps and a 2-way zipper for easy dressing and diaper changes. Highly recommend this sleep sack!
Love To Dream Swaddle Up
If you are in the market for a sleep sack but you aren’t sure whether your baby is ready to stop being swaddled just yet, the Love To Dream Swaddle Up Transition Bag is a great choice! It has patented zip-off “wings” so you can easily and gradually help your baby adjust to the “freedom” of being unswaddled. If necessary, you can zip on and off the wings to guide your baby to a sleep sack over time. Once you are ready to permanently lose the swaddle, simply keep the wings off.
Halo Sleep Sack
The HALO Sleepsack is a classic and great sleep sack for babies. The most notable feature of the sleep sack is that it has a double zipper to make diaper changes easier. The sleep sack is made from polyester micro-fleece and is sleeveless to reduce the risk of overheating. And, it comes in a variety of sizes, including for toddlers, and colors and comes with a reminder to put your baby on their back to sleep. This sleep sack is a solid choice and not as expensive as some of the others.
Bitta Kidda Sleep Sack
The Bitta Kidda Soother Sleeping Bag is very innovative. It is considered unsafe to have anything loose in the crib with your baby until they are at least a year old. But, this sleep sack comes with an attached lovey to help your baby learn to self-soothe and never lose or throw out. This is great for tactile babies like my second son. This sleep sack also has a patent-pending diagonal zipper to make diaper changes easier but not so easy that your baby can easily unzip it themselves. This can become an issue as your baby turns into a toddler who wants to skip a nap. There is also an internal diaper cover similar to a onesie so the sleep sack moves with your baby. Very clever!
Burt’s Bees Wearable Blanket
The Burt’s Bees Wearable Blanket is nothing fancy but highly-rated. It is 100% cotton, comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and has a double zipper for easier diaper changes like many of the others. The price is right and if your baby doesn’t need any “bells and whistles” this is a great way to have a safe blanket on your baby. Keep in mind, it isn’t the warmest of blankets, so be sure to dress your baby appropriately and set the room temperature conducive to sleep
Simple Joy’s by Carter’s Sleeping Bag
These wearable blankets, Simple Joys by Carter’s are another highly-rated 100% cotton sleep sack we recommend. There is a tab that covers the zipper to keep it away from your baby’s chin and neck, and makes it harder for your toddler to unzip it which can become a problem. These are definitely budget-friendly given they are sold in a pack of 3 and will get the job done! The biggest drawback is finding these in larger sizes.
Amazing Baby Transitional Swaddle Sack
The Amazing Baby Transitional Swaddle Sack is another product that can help your baby transition from swaddle to sleep sack easier. The mitten cuffs cover your baby’s hands which will gently suppress the moro reflex but is not as restrictive as a swaddle. This means if your baby rolls onto their tummy, they can use their arms to lift themselves up, which is important for safety. You can take one or both mittens off to allow your baby to self-soothe by using their hands and fingers. As with most of the others, this has a 2-way zipper to help with diaper changes and is 100% cotton.
TILLYOU All-Season Micro-Fleece Baby Sleep Bag
The TILLYOU micro-fleece baby sleep bag is another all-season sleep sack according to the manufacturer. This sleep sack comes in a variety of sizes and also has the double-zipper with a cover at the top to protect your baby’s skin. This is not a fancy sleep sack and comes in basic colors so if you like simple, this is a great choice for you and your baby.
Hudson Baby Muslin Sleeping Bag
The Hudson Muslin Sleeping Bag is another basic sleep sack made of muslin cotton. Muslin cotton is a more breathable cotton which is likely best in a warmer climate. This comes in a variety of unisex patterns so you can use it with multiple children. These are another budget-friendlier option without bells and whistles.
