A month or so before Baby K was born I was sent two Halo Sleep Sacks with the swaddle option. I meant to give one away a LONG time ago but well, I had a baby and we all know how that goes…
So now the time has come and here I am to say that “the Halo Sleep sack with the swaddler attached saved my bacon!”
I’m NOT the best swaddler. Tim’s pretty good at it, but me, not so much. And since I was the one who was getting up more frequently with Baby K for the middle of the night diaper changes and feedings (not to say he didn’t help, but he has a day job so…) it was wonderful.
The velcro that attaches the swaddle section is VERY strong and you can make it as tight or lose as you want. AND! It zips from the bottom so you can open it up down below for a diaper change without having to undo the top as well! Plus, once the baby out grows the swaddle portion you can completely detach it and continue to just use the sleep sack.
I do recommend attaching the velcro before you launder it though… otherwise you’ll have ALL kinds of things attached to it once you pull it out of the dryer (you know socks, little boy underwear, etc.)
The Halo Sleep Sack was invented by a parent who lost a child to SIDS and in my opinion is a wonderful product for parents who can’t swaddle so well and also gives the parent peace of mind that their baby is still warm and safe while sleeping.
This would make a great gift or be wonderful for your own baby!

I am almost sad to be the first to comment…because I would really like to win this! My Caitlin just broke out of the swaddle last night and woke herself up. Sigh.
My new favorite baby name is Molly…although it will be a while before I need to look at baby names again. = )
I LOVE the name Alexa, but the middle name is still a toss up.
And I just recently saw this baby sleep sack, so I am crossing my fingers here in Dallas that I win this one.
Heather M
My husband and I both love the name Mia – it’s his grandmother’s name. I also like the name Lake, but DH hates it! Argh

I so could have used this when the twins were born!!!! My burritio making (that’s what I call swaddling!) skills were poor…..
My new favorite name for boys is Cohen (did not fit for our twins!) and I love Madeline for a girl…
I love, love, love the Halo Sleep Sack! So smart! I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old, but a ton of my friends are having babies in the next couple months and I’d LOVE to be able to give one of them this incredibly useful gift!
Oh and my favourite name for a boy is Milo. For a girl, it’d have to be Roslyn. (Hubby didn’t go for either when I was pregnant with #2).
It is pink! Baby boy won’t like that.
But I have two girlfriends having girls.
Charlotte Joy was our girl name that we are not using now.

Hmmm…. baby names… not so sure these days. I like Emma but maybe it’s too common.
Mike was a champion burrito- maker. She couldn’t move a limb & once Mike had her all wrapped up, oh, how she would sigh in relief!

This product is amazing. HALO is such a fabulous organization. I am also impressed that they are donating sleep sacs to babies in Haiti right now for becoming a Facebook fan. Good luck and congrats to the winner!
If Zach had been a girl, he would have been an Ainsley. Love that name (first saw it on West Wing).
I don’t want a sleepsack b/c I am NEVER having any more kids
But I will say that I used the Halo sleepsacks religiously with all three of my kids – and they are all fabulous sleepers today (touch wood!). My 2 year old is still fitting in her 18 month one and will sleep in it for another few weeks before we move her to her big girl bed with real blankets!!
Love Halo! My 15 month old still sleeps in them. Would love to have this for baby #2! My favorite name is Claire for a girl, and Sam for a boy.
Oh this is super cute!!! My favorite baby name is Beckham for a boy and Gracie for a girl

I’m not a mom just yet, but my favorite boy name of late is Jensen. Specifically we’ve thought about Jensen David (David after my husband’s uncle).

I am also swaddling impaired. Luckily my boys have grown out of that stage, but I sure would like this for the next baby (which I’m keeping my fingers crossed will be a girl!).

This is a thing of great debate in my household. I always loved the name Emma but it’s become so popular lately I don’t want to use it any more!
For a girl, I love the name Alana and for a boy I love the name Brennan.
My favorite baby name right now is “Mercedes.”
Thanks for the chance to win!
