Should a 2-month-old wear a sleep sack?

⚡ Short answer: A sleep sack is generally appropriate for a 2-month-old, and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends sleep sacks over blankets—a sleep sack won't cover the baby's face like a loose blanket and helps reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Should a 2-month-old wear a sleep sack?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A sleep sack is generally appropriate for a 2-month-old, and the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends sleep sacks over blankets—a sleep sack won't cover the baby's face like a loose blanket and helps reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). But there are important points to watch: the sack should be a snug-fitting model with a collar and sleeveless (or zippered), so the baby can't pull it over his head. TOG (thickness rating) should match room temperature (for example, 1.0 TOG for a 20-22°C room); check the baby's neck to make sure he's not sweating. Once the baby starts rolling, avoid sleeved sacks. In short: a 2-month-old can wear a sleep sack with the right TOG and fit—it's safe.
