In premature babies, sleep sack is a safe and recommended option when used correctly. A premature baby should be evaluated based on corrected age (not birth age, but age calculated from the expected delivery date) and weight. Generally, premature babies can start using a sleep sack after they come home from the hospital, usually around 2.5-3 kg.
Important points: The neck and arm holes of the sack should be snug to prevent your baby from slipping inside. The TOG value should be chosen based on room temperature; since premature babies struggle with temperature regulation, you should avoid choosing one that's too thick or too thin. Your baby's head should remain exposed; the sack shouldn't have a hood. It's preferred over blankets because it reduces the risk of their face being covered, which is also supported by the AAP.
For premature babies under 2.5 kg or those not yet discharged from the hospital, follow hospital protocol; they're typically kept in an incubator without blankets.
