HALO SleepSack Review – New Design Line!

by Alanna Peters

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while then you’re probably no stranger to HALO SleepSacks. I first heard about HALO when I was pregnant with my first daughter. We used SleepSacks for her first few months while the weather was still a bit cool, and I loved the high quality of HALO. I knew for sure I’d want to get some more this time around for my second daughter, so I was thrilled when HALO offered me the chance to try out a SleepSack from their new design line!

First of all, if you are unfamiliar with HALO SleepSacks, here’s a bit of info to get you up to speed:

HALO Innovation’s SleepSack® wearable blankets have become the standard for hospital nurseries and parents alike. In fact, 1,000 hospital nurseries use the HALO SleepSack Swaddle instead of blankets through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. That is 1.5 million births getting first-hand, in-hospital experience with the HALO SleepSack Swaddle and safe sleep practices! Modeling safe sleep practices for parents in the hospital is the key to safer sleep practices at home.  HALO Innovations also offers free Safe Sleep Practices kits to childbirth educators to help further the cause of SIDS prevention.

Now, on to the new designs. HALO has recently released new SleepSack designs available exclusively at Pottery Barn! They are so cute, you guys. And the pure, organic cotton fabric is so thick and soft, I almost want to cuddle my new SleepSack before I put my baby in it. The SleepSacks are available in pink, blue and yellow stripe, and feature cute safari appliques. You can even get them embroidered with your baby’s name! (This would be a great baby shower gift idea, by the way.) I chose to review one of the new Pottery Barn SleepSack Swaddles, which comes in an adorable medallion print. These are also available in pink, blue and yellow and are also available for embroidery.

I am really excited about the swaddle aspect of this SleepSack. My oldest daughter did NOT like to be swaddled. We tried and tried, but she always wiggled free or threw a fit until we unbundled her. I’m determined to try again with my new baby though, and the SleepSack Swaddle makes it so easy. Just zip the baby into the SleepSack and wrap the swaddle fabric around her! It easily closes with a huge section of hook & loop fabric so it’s very adjustable for babies of all shapes and sizes. Speaking of sizes, I was curious about HALO sizing, so I figured some of you might be as well. Here is what I found out:
