Any opinions on baby sleeping bags/blankets?

[volan]

Hey-

We have been doing some research on SIDS as new parents to be. One product that we keep on seeing is a one piece baby sleeping bag/blanket. Has anyone used this?

Any advice on this would be great.

Thanks!

We swaddled for the first month or two, then used those baby sleepbags. They're Great!!!

The BIGGEST advantage of the sleeping bag is that the baby is always covered. My baby moved around a lot in his sleep and a blanket would have just ended up in a pile somewhere in the crib. That could be a danger if he ended up with his face in the blanket.

I bought one of the fleece sleepbags/wearable blankets at Wal-Mart for $5 - clearance item. I'm no longer concerned about baby kicking off her blanket. The zipper all the way down the front makes it really easy for diaper changes. Since the fleece will soon be a little much, I am going to ask my mother-in-law to sew one up in a lightweight fabric for the summer. It's so easy that I could do it myself, but I will use the "don't have a sewing machine" excuse.

My baby is 3 weeks old. I put him in the sleepbag from the 1st day. I bought an Angelcare sounds & movement monitor because I am afraid of SIDS too. It's really an excellent product. We all sleep very well.
