But don’t be fooled- the determined toddler will find a way. Sleep sacks often have toddler proof zippers too, so if you have an escape artist or a budding diaper flinger, the sleep sack can help keep keep those moves at bay. Sleep sacks also come with or without sleeves, and come in lighter or heavier fabrics for summer and winter options. They can be handy for the toddler that likes to climb out of the crib, as it can be difficult to climb out with a sleep sack on (notice I said difficult- not impossible for the really determined!). Sleep sacks come in many different sizes to accommodate various sizes and ages of babies and toddlers, from infant up to about age 3 (36 months). Not only do sleep sacks provide comfort and warmth when blankets won’t stay on them, but it becomes one of the cues that signal time for sleep! If you are new to the idea of a sleep sack, they are essentially a sleeping bag for your baby- but a sleeping back they can’t crawl out of! Sleep sacks are akin to swaddling but for your older babies and toddlers on the move! Sleep sacks stay on the child even when they move a lot.
