SIDS Awareness Month : HALO SleepSack A Product That Will Help
This is a sponsored post. As with all the products I blog about, I use them personally and opinions are my own, I was not influenced in any way by the compensation I received.
Did you know that 80-90% of SIDS-related deaths are due to unsafe sleep practices? During the month of October, HALO will donate $1 to SIDS Awareness for every new Facebook “Like”.
Safe Sleep Practices:
ALWAYS
- Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
- Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snuggly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
- Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
- Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
- Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
- Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface
- Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.
About HALO SleepSack Big Kids:
“It is a warm cuddly blanket they cannot kick off; ensuring little ones sleep well and stay covered throughout the night. With its unique foot openings, the SleepSack Big Kids wearable blanket allows for greater mobility while children are awake, but also keeps little feet covered and warm while sleeping.”
My Thoughts:
I think these are must have!! They are perfect for any infant or toddler. I know this will get handed down to my youngest when she out grows it. The material is extremely soft and light weight feeling. Which makes it perfect for her since she don’t like to feel stuck. Not only do they serve a purpose (keeping the kids worm) but they are also very cute!!! My daughter has refused to sleep in anything else. She wants her SleepSack! Your little one can grow with SleepSack. They have a SleepSack for ages from 0-5T! It’s the best thing to keep your little one safe and warm.
