Sleep Sack 101
What is a Sleep Sack?
Sleep sacks are wearable blankets designed to keep babies and infants warm and safe while they sleep. They are a safer alternative to loose blankets in the crib, as they eliminate the risk of suffocation or overheating. Sleep Sacks are recommended by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) to avoid the risk of SIDS. Malabar Baby offers two types pf sleep sacks (TOG 0.6 Lightweight and TOG 2.2 Quilted) both recommended by baby sleep consultants across the globe and awarded the Parents' Pick 2024 Award.

SWADDLE TO SLEEP SACK TIPS BY RINIE (yawntodawn)
TIP #1
You can either transition your baby out of the swaddle gradually or do a cold turkey switch to the sleep sack. For a gradual transition, swaddle your baby with one arm out for 2 nights. Then in the next 2 nights, swaddle only around the chest with both arms out.
Lastly, remove the swaddle and put them in wearable sleep sack for sleep time. I’m a bigger fan of the cold turkey transition so we can speed upthe adjustment process. Whatever method you choose,stay consistent with it.
TIP #2
If your baby is used to being swaddled while sleeping, you can expect that for the first few days, they will have a tougher time falling asleep and have more night wakings. This difficult but temporary phase. To get their sleep back on track, consistently use the sleep sack for all naps and nights for them to build a positive association with it.
Do a short wind down routine before every nap and bedtime. Maintain a conducive sleep environment which is dark, cool and quiet.
