Did you know May is Better Sleep Month? I’m happy to share one way I’m helping my toddler get better sleep this month, thanks to a new product HALO sent me for review.
At first, when I put the HALO SleepSack Big Kids on my three year old, hubby said it reminded him of MC Hammer pants. Ha ha, mister-from-the-eighties! Okay, they are a little Aladdin-looking at the bottom, I admit. But, there’s a very good reason for that!
Toddlers need about twelve hours of sleep for healthy growth… that’s a lot of time to keep them covered and warm. I used to worry about my son getting uncovered a lot before I got the SleepSack Big Kids, and I’d get up at night to check his blankets. Now I wasn’t getting any sleep!
The HALO® SleepSack® wearable blanket – originally made for babyies to avoid loose blankets in the crib – also helps bigger kids sleep better. I know my son can always be found sleeping upside-down or sideways in his bed with the sheets and blankets every-which-way but covering him up! He is usually so cold when I go in to re-cover him… and then he still probably kicks off the blankets again before morning.
With the unique foot openings, my toddler’s SleepSack Big Kids is literally a cuddly blanket he can’t kick off in the night. So he stays warm and covered even when he thrashes the bedding off! Even this lightweight SleepSack can help kids get more restful sleep as they will not be as chilled.
And sounder sleep should mean more rested children – which SHOULD mean less crankiness! 
I found this SleepSack to be very easy for my son to put on (I have to zip up) and in the morning he is able to take it off by himself. He loves the floppy blankety part at the bottom a lot and it’s hilarious to see him rolling around cuddling up in his SleepSack! I’ll also note that it’s generously sized – he’s wearing a size 2/3T in the photos so you can see there’s room to grow!
HALO SleepSacks are available in Early Walker versions for $29.95. They come in a new lightweight fabric (very soft!) and microfleece and comfort mesh! Get them on Amazon.com and visit HALO at their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest sites!
