Baby sleep sack?

⚡ Short answer: A sleep sack is recommended over blankets because it's safer, especially for babies under 12 months; you can transition from swaddling to sleep sack once your baby starts rolling.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Are you confused about baby sleep sacks (wearable sleep wear)? Let me explain briefly.

A sleep sack is a garment worn by the baby — usually with arms out or with sleeves, and the lower half is a bag shape. It's safer than a blanket because there's no risk of it covering — the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) especially recommends sleep sacks over blankets for babies under 12 months.

When is it used? After your baby starts rolling (usually around 4-5 months), you stop swaddling and switch to sleep sacks. You should choose the TOG value (thickness level) based on room temperature — for example, 1.0 TOG is ideal for 20-22°C.

How old is your baby now, and how are they sleeping currently? That way I can give you more specific guidance.
