Review: Sleep Huggers

A sleeping bag with arm slots—just for baby!

My sister-in-law just had twins and I can’t think of a better gift than a Sleep Huggers® Baby Sleeping Bag. I received a beautiful, pink one for review a few months ago and haven’t had time to actually try it out until now. It’s such a great idea!

Designed to take the place of covering baby with blankets that get kicked off during the night, the Sleep Huggers® stays put. There’s no more waking in the middle of the night worrying that baby has once again kicked off her blankets and is cold because this little blanket zips right up and there are slots for baby’s arms so your baby won’t feel restricted and can move about freely.

I really wish these were around when my children were little. They were always kicking their covers off, getting cold, and crying out. And you know what happens when babies get cold don’t you? They pee! So not only was I getting up to replace the covers, but I was getting up to change diapers. Plus, not having loose covers in the crib would have eased my mind. I was always getting up checking to make sure they were breathing and that they didn’t somehow get tangled up in their blankets.

Yes, the Sleep Hugger® would have saved me from many sleepless nights. But you want to know what is really cool? The Sleep Huggers® comes in sizes large enough for children up to 6 years of age!

Now, you and I both know that as we work towards getting our children to sleep in their own “big beds” they discover ways to come into mom’s room and ask to “please, please, let me sleep with you”. Now, instead of pulling out that dreaded sleeping bag or tons of blankets, all you have to do is bring up your child’s pillow and take your warmly wrapped Sleep Huggers® toddler and lay her down on the floor right next to your bed. It’s a great way to help your child feel safe sleeping on her own, until she can spend an entire night in her “big girl bed”.

I really liked the quality and design of the Sleep Huggers® sleeping bag and feel that once you give it a try, you won’t want to go back to traditional blankets. Now if they’d only make them for lazy pre-teens who refuse to sleep under their covers because it would mean making the bed in the morning, I’d be in heaven!
