But if your baby has hip dysplasia or other hip issues, swaddling may aggravate that. Generally, swaddling is safe for all newborns. It keeps your baby warm while they sleep without any loose blankets, which are a suffocation hazard and are not approved for safe sleep.Newborns feel comforted and calm in the tight, womb-like wrap.It prevents the newborn startle reflex from waking them by keeping baby’s arms tight to their sides.It’s a way of wrapping a blanket around your baby tight enough so they can’t wriggle out. If you’re new to the notion of swaddling, don’t worry-the concept is pretty simple. Most toddlers will wear a sleep bag while still in a crib and then transition into a sleep bag walker once they’re in a regular bed.If you’ve never had a newborn, the thought of wrapping your baby up so tightly that they can’t move their arms might sound a little wild.īut many parents (and pediatricians) will tell you that lots of newborns are comforted by swaddles-they tend to cry less and sleep more when they’re snuggly wrapped. It usually isn’t a hard transition it just takes some time for them to learn to keep a blanket on. There’s no set age that you have to stop using one. So when should you stop using a sleep bag? Well, you can continue using one until they no longer fit! You may have an escape artist who won’t keep it on (make sure to try it backwards first) and they may decide they’re done with it themselves, but there’s no reason to stop otherwise. Sleep bags are helpful in deterring little ones from climbing out of the crib as well as keeping their diaper on (if you’ve got a diaper flinger). If your little one needs to be able to walk in the sleep bag, you can use a sleep bag walker for them! Most kids can fit into a sleep bag for quite a long time because Kyte Baby sleep bags are generously sized (in length) which allows for kids to wear them for years and years. Crib-related injuries account for thousands of trips to the emergency room every year according to a report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. If you found that swaddling your little one took a special skill set, you’ll find a sleep bag much easier to use! They even make diaper changes easier because Kyte Baby bamboo sleep sacks have a double zipper, meaning you can unzip from the bottom and disturb your little one a lot less during night time diaper changes!Īnother bonus of using a sleep sack is that it can help prevent little limbs from getting in between the slats on the crib. A sleep bag can be used from birth if it fits! But most parents find that swaddling is helpful in the first few weeks to prevent them from startling awake as soon as you put them down. Most babies will transition out of the swaddle around 8 weeks or whenever they show signs of rolling. You can start using a Kyte Baby sleep bag whenever your little one transitions out of the swaddle (as long as it safely fits- you can reference the sizing guides if needed ). It can become a “lovey” to them when they’re too young to have a lovey in the crib with them and makes sleeping outside of their home much easier when traveling! Typically, when you use a sleep bag for every sleep, it becomes a positive sleep association.
The AAP’s recommendation is that nothing is in the crib with your baby, just a tight fitted sheet until they’re 12+ months. It’s like a sleeping bag for your baby, except they can’t crawl out of it! Unlike a loose blanket, a sleep sack/sleep bag is like a “crib blanket” and will keep your child’s temperature regulated while keeping their sleep space safe. A sleep bag is also known as a sleep sack or baby wearable blanket.
