Baby sleep sack? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Hearing different things from your mother-in-law and different sources is really confusing, I understand. Let me clarify about sleep sacks:

Baby sleep sacks (wearables) are recommended especially for babies 0-12 months. They replace blankets because once babies start rolling, a blanket can cover their face and this increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The AAP and pediatric consensus recommend sleep sacks over blankets.

So you're right. But maybe your mother-in-law's concerns — does the baby get too hot, are their arms restricted, does it affect circulation — are from classic worries. I'd like to hear which part she disagrees on.
