My granddaughter sleeps better with her arms and body swaddled but she is outgrowing her swaddles. Could I zip up this sack with her arms inside?

Technically yes but this sleep sack is loose so her arms would be free to move and likely tangled in the arm holes. I wouldn't recommend it.

Sort of - we would put our daughter in it on a fluffy blanket to keep her in one spot. For meals, the bigger problem was that she liked to bounce and hitting a moving target with a spoonful of prunes was disastrous. We loved this for many reasons but meals are best in a high chair.

I put my baby in it a week or two before she turned three months. It was a little big but worked. Before that I would swaddle her with a halo sleep sack.

i think you probably could. but if you did one side of the bag you would have to lay on the zipper. also the second head flap thing would be on the top position of the bag, and all up in your face. you could make it work but you might just be better of with a normal shape sleeping bag.

No. I would not say the sleep sack is for this purpose, nor would it help. In my experience some babies /toddlers are just "climbers" and a Sleep sack would not deter them nor prevent.

Depends how you sleep in it. I'm a stocky 5'11" and I like to put an arm under my pillow, which makes me longer than the bag, and creates the need for additional bedding to keep my arms on the bedding. Otherwise this is a roomy bag. Great warm weather or indoor bag.

You can move her head from side to side, she can be swaddled. I sold the last one today, will get more next week. Thanks Cheryl

You could use this for swaddling classes. The feet and hands are plastic but the arms and legs are soft. There are no joints in the arms and legs as it's like a pillow stuffing material.

That would probably be too warm. We sleep in cooler temps in our house (around 66F). The cotton blanket is thinner and would be better at those temps. I put my son in the cotton blanket during naps and the fleece at night.

I haven`t tried, so I am not 100% sure, but I do not think so. As is, I put one of the thinnest full mattresses (6.5 inches) to be able to use a down topper. Around the sides - there isn't much room. Not even enough for the mattress to shift to one side and gap enough for a child's arm. I suppose you could try a hide-a-bed or camper style, but the measurements are pretty exact.

No. It wraps between their legs similar to a diaper so a swaddle wouldn't work.

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

Yes, I think this would work very well for training to swaddle an infant. I don't think that it would be very poseable because the top or arms and legs are soft white material and have now moveable joints.

I assume it shouldn't be that roomy since it's supposed to hinder their startle reflex. However my daughter is tiny and it's really big on her. If your baby liked being swaddled they will probably like a tighter fit.

My LO wasn't sleeping on his stomach at the time, so he was fine with it. He outgrew it just as he started to roll on his side to sleep. I will say this, it seems like a baby would have a very hard time rolling completely over in the suit. Remember the movie "A Christmas Story" where the kid says "I can't put my arms down!" It's more like that.

I don't have a tummy sleeper, but if the zipper is zipped up, the pull is at the very bottom of the sack, probably lower than the feet unless the bag is really small for your baby. At that location, I don't think your baby will have a lot of weight to put on the zipper pull (and causing the dig). As for the zipper itself, it is pretty flat so I don't think it will be a problem.Just a reminder that if your baby is less than 6 month old, he or she should be sleeping on the back all the time to reduce the chance of SIDS.

No it's not, I added extra padding however the extra padding I have sits underneath the baby lounge. I wouldn't want to put my child at risk for suffocation putting blankets on the inside.
