Baby sleep sack is recommended by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and many child health organizations because it eliminates the risk of blankets covering baby's face. Using a sleep sack instead of a blanket helps reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It also keeps baby's temperature balanced through the night.
One important thing: in winter choose lined, in summer choose thin cotton (TOG value 0.5-1.0). Choosing the right size for your baby's age and weight is also important—if too big baby can slip inside. This is a healthy and safe choice, and you can ask these details at your doctor visit; but in general it's a good recommendation.
