Halo sleep sack = overheating. Anyone else? Did anyone else find that their baby would overheat when wearing a polyester Halo sleep sack?

Jules, I recently read your question regarding the HALO SleepSack wearable blanket. I am with HALO and I thought I might be able to provide a helpful perspective. The micro-fleece SleepSack has properties that help wick moisture from baby's skin. However, to ensure that baby does not overheat it's also important to take into account the temperature of the nursery and amount of additional clothing that the baby is wearing. In this case the micro-fleece SleepSack wearable blanket is intended for use at room temperature and has TOG value (a standard for measuring thermal resistance) of one. As you add additional clothing layers, the TOG value increases as well as the likelihood that baby will be too warm. I'd recommend making sure your nursery is at room temperature and that your little one is wearing a light coverall or bodysuit. If the room is quite warm, as may happen in the summer, you might consider a lighter cotton fabric SleepSack wearable blanket. I hope this helps. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact us directly at sleepsack@haloinnovations.com.

Its definitely too warm in my opinion for the summer especially without a/c. Its a very thick material. Every baby is different however. You can always give it a try and if not return. Just know as other reviewers have pointed out it's essentially a snowsuit.

It depends on the temperature in your house. We keep our baby's room at around 72 degrees. At night, she wears a sleeper under the halo and during the day usually a long sleeve onesie. It just depends on your baby and their temperature preference.

We love our Aden blankets, however I would recommend getting a Halo sleep sack with swaddle for newborns. It is warmer and much easier to get baby in and out of in the middle of the night. For me it's also easier to swaddle my baby in the sleep sack as opposed to the Aden blankets. My husband can get the Aden blankets tight enough, but my Aden swaddle usually comes apart relatively quickly. Our baby is currently 2 months old and we live in a cooler climate. We have her sleeping in Pj's and the sleep sack and occasionally a hat for cold nights.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

We live in Missouri. My baby never seemed to be bothered by the heat. The only thing that really bothered here are the shoulder strap pads. But I believe the most current version has removable pads so that should no longer be an issue.

My son always sweats when he sleeps- pillow or not, so I don't think this pilllow is to blame. I do, however find it to be a bit too thick/poofy for his size. He's 2 1/2 and it lifts his head a little too far forward. He uses it part of the night but then abandons it. I figured he'll grow into it. So if your check child is older he/she should be ok

Mine was & did. My child was in the front zip vest & it kept moving up, under the chin. It was very uncomfortable & my child complained the entire time. This fixed the problem. No complaints & great boyancy.

Yes, the plush looks hot but it doesn't seem too hot. My baby is very sensitive to heat and sweats easily, and when I use this product, I don't see him uncomfortable hot. I haven't tried the moisture wicking side.

I have not had any issues with overheating using this topper. I put a foam topper on my futon under the topper and that has worked out quite well.

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

I didn't notice it being any warmer than our regular mattress. Since I am hot nearly 95% of the time anyway, I would have noticed it. :) It wasn't cool though. However it was supremely comfortable. I say was, because we got a new extra firm mattress and haven't put that back on yet.

I typically just put a onesie with long sleeves on the baby for the colder months. For the warmer months I will just put the sleep sack on by itself so the baby does not over heat.

Did she go into heat shortly thereafter? My 5 month old did that to me as well--went into her "season" a few weeks later.

My 10 year old is the same way. He hasn't complained about being hot. It's not cool gel bed.

That hasn't been my experience. I leave the cover on all the time - no problem with overheating. I love this cover!

We haven't used the stroller seat yet. Is the baby over dressed? To many blankets? May be silly questions but it may be the obvious.
