I have a winter baby, due in November. Still not sure if these swaddling blanket will be good enough for my baby to sleep at night in the crib. Help?

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.

I think they would be good for any temperature. They are large enough to wrap around the baby a few times as needed. The weave makes them not only flexible but breathable. The first time I saw a mother use them was in late winter. I noted how versatile they would be. You need lots of blankets. You can try flannel or knit, but I think you will like these best.

They will be. Just remember you will have the heat on inside. They are big enough so it will wrap around enough to keep baby at a good temp thru the night. Hope this helps :)

Hi You could maybe double it up- that's what we did when we were at the hospital. You can also always put a blanket over the end of the bassinet if you are worried about the baby being cold. They can't regulate their own temperature that early so you really don't want them to get too hot either. I would put a hat on the baby, too for the first little bit. Sorry- not sure if that helps or not )

I really like these blankets. It would depend on how warm his/her bedroom is and how many other clothes he/she is wearing. If the baby is already warm, I think it would be fine, however, if you have a cold house, I wouldn't use them. Good luck!

I recommend these blankets but since you live in hot weather you should look into their organic Bamboo line of blankets. I just bought three of them and they are super soft and the fabric is much more breathable than the original, which made it ideal for the warm weather that we had a month ago.

I would buy at least 2 (one is usually being washed), although I bought 3 for my newborn grandson.I got 1 warm, 1 medium, and 1 with feet holes. My daughter used them every time the baby goes to sleep.He really likes them and knows it means sleepy time.

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.

They aren't the size of a crib sheet. Maybe half the size. I use the white ones for on top of the changing pad cover since there are always drips or more and it's easier to swap out the pad instead of the cover. It's a bit smaller than the top of the changing pad. For the crib or pack n play, I lay one down underneath the sheet as it isn't large enough to get tucked into the side and therefore a suffocation hazard. They're great!

I live in the Pacific Northwest where it doesn't stay too warm in the evening. For me it works perfectly. In the dead of winter I often add an additional blanket. I hope this helps you.

I first looked at this: http://www.amazon.com/SnuggleWool-Lambs-Wool-Crib-28x52/dp/B000H4C6QU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=1BYXW7SZ4R4STXAG9323 but decided against it because of the polyester backing. In the end I used an oversized 100% cotton thick plush beach towel over the plastic encasement to cut down on the crinkle and give a little comfort. I laid an organic wool piddle pad over top like this one: http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/wool-mattress-pads.html Then I put an Ikea 100% cotton fitted crib sheet over top. It has worked out well, very little crinkling, comfy and breathable. Good luck! :)

Hi. Unfortunately no, it's thick and cozy, my fav blanket by far but more suitable for a crib as it's long. The best solution would be to buy a pack of the thinner muslin swaddler. They can fold up very compact and doubled up they are thick and cozier. Congrats on the twins!

I have given one to each of my now 10 grandchildren, and they have become the favorite thing to sleep on. ... Some have been stomach sleepers, some back sleepers, and there have been no problems. If you're a bit worried, I'd just wait til baby was 6-mo or so.

Sorry, I do not know. Perhaps you might ask mfg'r. This blanket is way too big for an infant, it is the size of a twin bed sheet. I see another responder said that too. Could tangle up an unattended baby.

I double knotted mine to start with & she just noticed the ties recently but can't undo them (yet anyway). I guess they could pose the same type of problem if you're worried about bumpers. The underside of the CribWrap is plastic (so not a breathable material). My daughter has slept on her stomach from the time she learned to roll over and she flops around so much that I was glad I had also put bumpers in her bed (which I had to weave through the slats since she could pull the bumper down). I have bumpers and CribWraps on the front & both sides of her crib and have never had a problem.

In spite of my old fashioned feeling that beds should have sheets, you're not going to get a fitted sheet to work in this. For a younger baby, I would just suggest laying a thin receiving blanket in the bottom ... for an older toddler, they're going to sleep however they end up settling down anyway, so I wouldn't use anything. The bottom can be wiped out easily in case of accidents ... just realize this is not meant for regular sleeping, but just for occasional naps and overnight trips.

If you are using on a new baby, do not put any extra lining in and fold over the extra material in the front before snapping shut, the extra material should be used as the liner. I use these at night with an extra liner under the sewn in liner, they work great better than any other brand I have purchased. Please email me and I would be more than happy to help with further questions. Mom of 5 Kristi Kmcallister54@gmail.com

Yes, but not with a traditional blanket swaddle. We use the Swaddle Strap with this sleepwrap on our 5 month old. They work great together.

I would NOT recommend this to use in a crib. Babies should have nothing in there except a snug fitting crib sheet. No loose blankets or stuffed animals. Your infant should always be attended when laying on this rug in my opinion

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt
