A sleep sack also eliminates the need for extra blankets, which helps keep your baby's sleep-space safe. Daniel Ganjian, MD, a pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, says one reason why a baby may sometimes sleep better while wearing a weighted sleep sack is that it feels like they’re in the womb again, allowing a newborn to experience a simulated “fourth-trimester of pregnancy. Once your baby has had 2 - 3 nights to adjust, you can move on to arms out for the entire night, then for naps, and then finally swap the swaddle for the sleep sack. As a consumer, we want to trust the market, but as we’ve seen over and over, the goal is to sell a product and market it in a way that sells.

In its letter this week, the AAP points to preliminary data from an industry-commissioned study from March to support its concerns about weighted sleep products. But it noted that there was the potential for oxygen saturation levels to “decline into unsafe levels” during longer sleeping periods.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 2022 revised its sleep recommendations and included in the statement that weighted blankets are not considered safe for babies,” says Elena Shea, MD, a pediatrician and board-certified lactation consultant. If your infant rolls onto their stomach, you don’t need to turn them back over [8] as long as they’re comfortable rolling both ways (back to front and front to back). And its scope is limited: The study encompassed only five infants, used a two-minute test window, and wasn’t peer-reviewed.

The muscles of an infant’s chest, even those of toddler ages 1 or 2, are still developing,” explains Woods. This means that your baby will always be snug and cozy, without the discomfort of overheating or feeling too cold.Hence, when choosing a sleep sack for your baby, it is important to ensure that the sleep sack is snug but not too tight. Gentle weight is located on the front (or top) of the sack only and is not intended to restrict movement. For instance, it’s probably time to stop using the wearable blanket if your toddler starts regularly unzipping it, taking it off, and throwing it at your head.
