Halo Sleep Sack – Review & Giveaway

by

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!

If you would like to win the Halo Sleep Sack (looks exactly like the one pictured above) please leave a comment with a favorite baby name of yours these days (just for fun!)

  1. 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. = )

  2. 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

  3. 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 🙂

  5. 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…

  6. 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).

  7. 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.

  10. 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!

  13. 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).

  14. 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!!

  17. 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).

  26. Would love this! If it’s pink, I have a friend expecting a girl.
    My favorite baby name right now is Asa, which I am pretty sure we’re naming our son in a couple months. However, on the girl side, we were planning on Sylvie.

  29. Great Giveaway!! I really like the name Jareth..but my husband doesn’t at all. I just hope we aren’t expecting a boy cause we don’t agree on boy names.

  30. 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.

  32. Oh…love. I wish I had one when my kiddos were babies. If I won it would be used as a gift for a friend cause *sob* I’m not having anymore. 🙁

    Favorite baby name? Claire.

  37. I would love to win this as I am expecting my first baby in April. I can’t wait! turbodawn[ at ]gmail[ dot ] com.

  38. Well of course I have to say my sons names are my favorite!!!

    Benjamin Aaron and
    Douglas Arthur James

    If we would have had a girl, her name would have been

    Rachel Lynne!!!

  48. love these. my daughter slept in her miracle blanket until she was 15 months old. she would not give it up. aren’t they funny how attached they get? we’d like to do sleep sacks for the second baby instead.

    my favorite girl name is maura and for a boy – daniel

  52. This is such a great idea! I have a friend that is due in a few weeks and I would love to give this to her. My favorite name right now is Madison, and my husband has agreed that our first girl can be named Madison. Thank you for hosting this great giveaway!

  58. We never did get to use our girl names we picked out Emily Kathryn and Ainsley Claire. I really liked Ainsley!!! My sister is having a girl in June…they are thinking about Emma, Caitlyn, and Norah. I’d love to win this to give to her!

  62. Weehoo! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

    I will tell you what we have picked…if it is a girl her name will be Margaret (aka Maggie) and the boy name will be John.
