Do you put your baby in long sleeves onesis + pants or only onesis when using this sack? Thanks

I have done both depending on how warm/cold it is. When she was 5 months or younger, I generally went with long sleeves and footed pants. If there is perspiration at the back of her neck, reduce a layer. Hope that helps!

I find that if I put anything more than a onesie on my little girl, she tends to get hot overnight. We also keep a small ceramic heater in her room so it never drops below 70 degrees so if your baby's room tends to get cold, you might need a little more.

My daughter wore footed pajamas with it. It depends on the temp in the house.

it depends on the condition of the ruin she will sleep in ... we've have used long sleeved footie pj's, onsies, and a t shirt with pamper only ... just depends on how cold her room might get.

Just a long sleeve onesy. No pants....she may get too hot that way. The only variation we do is in choosing a heavy or light sleep sack depending on the temperature. Get a few of them, tangled blankets are a thing of the past so you know they are warm and safe.

We have put him in just a onesie and also in pants and onesie dependent on the weather. He sleeps better in a cool room so we do have the room on the cool side. This summer we did put him in the HALO sleepsack that was cotton and that worked well too. When he is zipped in, that is a signal for bedtime. We also do an early morning bottle and change in which we do not unzipp all the way so he stays sleepy. He will then sleep several more hours. Best of luck. We really like the HALOs.

Depends how cold you keep your house. I've used sleepers along with the sack and just short sleeve onesies.

I put them in various other clothes, totally depending on how warm or cold the room is going to be. Usually I would put my kids in the Carter's fleece pj's with the feet, no sack, for most of the year - temp around 70 (we live in SoCal). If it would be colder than 70 then I would use the Sleep Sack and a long sleeve onesie/pants or some cooler pj's. If it is going to be really cold then both the fleece jammies and the Sleep Sack. Just use your common sense!!

For sure! My 10 month old is doing all of the above in her sack. It's so big/wide in the leg area there's room for them to move their legs to crawl and stand. And once they're toddler age, Halo makes sacks that have feet cut outs. My oldest wore those for a little while (until he said he just wanted to sleep with his favorite blanket). It's so nice knowing they're always covered up wearing their sacks.

The outside is fleece and the inside is soft cotton material. It's pretty thick so I typically pit baby in a short or long sleeve onesie and socks.

It is indeed thick which is what helps keep them feeling snug similar to the swaddling effect. I've found that dressing my daughter in just a short-sleeve onesie and no socks and keeping the temp of the room btwn 69-70 degrees all winter has worked well and she doesn't get overheated. Heat escapes through the hand and feet openings, plus her neck is still exposed for ventilation. In fact, on very cold nights I added socks while she slept when her feet seemed too cold and was grateful she was cozy in the suit. We started her in the suit at 4 months old - she's now 6 months and has slept comfortably in it every single night!

I bought my ball when I was pregnant too. I'm 5'6 and bought the large one. I loved it then and still use it now. Baby even likes being bounced on.

As the others have mentioned, the cotton pads are sown in to the lining of the diaper so there are no "pockets." The cotton pad is long and you can fold it depending on if you have a boy or girl. It can also adjust according to your growing baby. Really good buy.

I'd look at the size chart on Halo's website (http://www.halosleep.com/size-chart/). If your son is in one of the larger baby sizes, I'd recommend the Early Walker version of the sleepsack. Not only is it a bit longer than the regular sleepsack, but the foot holes allow for even more length... just put socks on the baby if you use the holes, otherwise the feet may get cold being outside the sack.

I originally purchased mediums but decided the large was a better fit. We have standard size slumber jack mummy bags... I felt that I could always throw an extra fleece in the stuff sack with my sleeping bag or just compress is down smaller. The medium was just a hair to small, but it may work for a short bag. Good luck!!

Yes! We use it constantly with our little guy. During the day for naps (sometimes he'll sleep with just a onesie or tee shirt and diaper underneath) and with short sleeve/ short pj sets at night. In really hot weather I'm anticipating we may just put him in the diaper and the sleep sack:) We love our sleep sacks!!

Might be a little late as you should have started almost immediately after birth. I ended up with Csection so I couldn't use it. You can however use under clothes as a girdle-like. Hope this helps. And congratulations!

Personally I do not. I trifold them and set them in a size one diaper cover... Works great.

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

I added extra inserts for more absorbency. And when you're putting the diaper on your baby, grab and kind of tuck the front of the diaper right inside the creases of your baby's legs. Adjust your snaps, you want a snug fit but not too tight.

It's fine for summer without the cover - but obviously baby is going to be a little bit warmer being so close to you so be mindful of not putting too much clothing on them. We're in Australia so the summers are very hot and humid.

Ha! Been there. Get a small. I'm around the same size. Congrats on the baby!

Yes, the suit can get a little hot. I put my daughter in the suit with just a diaper. Sometimes just a cotton onesie. She isn't too hot that way and sleeps great.
