How We're Reducing Our Risk Of SIDS-- Halo SleepSack Swaddle Review & Giveaway

I think if you ask any parent what their worst fear is, SIDS would be in the top 5 things they mention.
I can tell you first hand that I just stare at Kendall watching her sleep, just so I see her chest moving. Plus, she's cute so who doesn't want to watch a sleeping baby!
Kendall loves to be swaddled. I swear besides mommy & daddy, it's probably one of her favorite things right now. As she's gotten stronger though, she can get out of her swaddle and then the blanket is just loose in her bed. This has scared me 'cause of course there is always the chance that she can pull the blanket over her face and not be able to move it!

We were sent the Halo SleepSack Swaddle from Halo to review. It's what you love from a sleepsack combined with a swaddling so babies arms are inside as well. This eleminates the need for blankets that can potentially harm and smother your baby. Swaddling has become a huge staple in helping baby sleep better and longer because the blanket hugs your baby to prevent the startle reflux.

Babies tend to throw their arms up all the time especially while sleeping and this prevents them getting a good nights sleep. Keeping babies arms down next to them is safe and again, will keep them from waking up if they are startled. On the inside of the Right swaddle strap there is an easy to read instruction panel that can help you use your Halo SleepSack better.

I love that the Halo is made of 100% cotton that helps prevent overheating. It's designed to keep the fabric from getting near baby's face (as you can see in the 1st picture) & it also has adjustable fastener strips so you'll be able to use it for a while with your growing baby.

The swaddle feature is easily removable with hidden velcro straps so if your baby doesn't like swaddling but you still want to keep your baby safe, the Halo SleepSack is 2-1!

The Halo SleepSack is also machine washable and dryable with all colors so there's no extra steps needed when washing. Makes a busy mom's life just that much more simple if you ask me.

Wearable blankets are suggested for use by the American Academy of Pediatrics as a way to help prevent SIDS! And of course... "Back Is Best" as always!

-- Since reviewing the Halo SleepSack we have purchased two more on 

our own because Kendall loved it so much! --

Halo sells a variety of the SleepSack starting at around $30
