Collection: Sleep Sacks

What is a baby sleep sack?

A baby sleep sack is a wearable blanket designed for infants. It's a safe alternative to traditional blankets that can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by preventing the covering from going over the baby’s head during sleep. It allows babies to stay warm and comfortable without the use of loose bedding. Sleep sacks come in various sizes and materials suitable for different climates and seasons, and should be chosen based on the baby's age, size, and mobility.
