do you continue to use your sleep sacks after your little ones are able to roll over, sit up or stand?

My LO. Can't stand yet but does sit and roll. We still use ours. I don't put him to bed with a blanket and it's still cold at night. His sack keeps him warm and I don't worry about his getting wrapped up in it.

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.

Yes. My LO is not standing yet, but she moves all over the crib in her sleep sack - it's nice because I don't worry about her kicking her covers off or pulling them over her head. But I think I will use the ones with leg holes when she's standing...

yes, my daughters both wore them until about 2 1/2! - it was part of their night routine, and they would walk in them in their crib, but never tried to climb out. I didn't buy the one with foot holes, they just had the XL size. As soon as my babies were done swaddling (about 3 months) we went through every size of sleep sack up to XL!

Mine is rolling over (not sitting or standing yet) and I still use them. They make sleep sacks with legs for when they start walking.

We used ours until our daughter was actively rolling around. At 5 months she would sometimes get 'wedged' or 'cross-ways' in the bassinet while trying to turn on her back in a circle. Typically though if she was tired and ready to be asleep it wasn't an issue. However, once your baby starts rolling, I'd highly recommend discontinuing the bassinet. For that reason, I'd also never use it on an elevated or uneven surface. Our daughter never came close to tipping it, but certainly if left unattended she may be able to get it over. She's now 7 months and 17.5 pounds.

When my son was first born I put his insert to his car seat in there (the fluffy piece that shapes around their body to hold them steady) and layed the seat all the way back. He liked to sleep like that. Sitting up, no because they don't have very strong necks

I've used my Snuza with two babies now. The day they learned to roll over, they started sleeping on their stomachs. I started clipping the Snuza on the back of their pants so they wouldn't muffle the alarm by laying on it. It still detects their breathing even touching their back.

You will still need a crib. After a certain weight and if the infant rolls over, you can no longer use this. Newborns love it!

I am still using mine and she is 5 months. I would probably use it until she can sit up. However, just like the other comments, it's great for other uses such as if you need to lay the child down for anything...it's super soft and spongy!

Depends on how old child is. My baby is 4 months and can't roll off it. However for a newborn it is a little hard, we put a blanket down for cushion.

We did not have this experience with our co-sleeper. When the kiddos had respiratory problems we placed a small folded towel under the mattress pad by their head to elevate their upper body. You could try doing something similar on the side that is lower to level it out.

If you anchor it to your bed, the side next to the bed should be rolled down permanently. So, when you're in bed, you just reach over and pick up your baby. You shouldn't be rolling up and down the side each time.

Yea, we used blankets or t-shirts. There isn't much built in head support if they fall asleep.

Yes my little has slept when I was carrying her as long as your not bouncing around a lot.

I've been using them for several months and love them. I place them under the sheet, not the mattress pad. Works best with deeper fitted sheet. When you put a new sheet on, it will "tent" a bit, but with comforter with duvet on, that goes down. The sheet will go down with the weight of the child, too. I think these are a great alternative. My granddaughter can climb in and out--so they don't keep her in, but they will prevent her from rolling off when she's asleep. Great invention! Looks a bit goofy, but work well!

Babies should sleep on their backs until beyond the age you would use this. I'm not sure it would be comfortable if the baby sleeps on its stomach. I know my baby didn't roll over on her own to sleep at all, but I stopped using the monitor around 6-9 months. She still sleeps only on her back at 15 months.

I always used a receiving blanket or pad and just wrapped it around the "mattress" and secured it. At that age, my little one didn't move around wildly enough to disturb it. And I was right there the whole time.

We started at 3 months. We he to put rolled up blankets around him to make if fit better though. It is all dependent on your child's strength. Ours could hold his head up and was already supporting his own weight standing just holding our hands for balance. Each child is different.

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.

My twins are almost six months old and they still use them daily, but not for sleeping anymore. We had to start buckling them in around 4.5 months because they are starting to sit up.
