Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe Sleep Sack or Baby Blanket, Which Way to Go?

Is your brain getting a little foggy with all the sleep jargon floating around?

Sleep Sack. Sleeping Bag. Baby Blanket. Swaddle Wrap.

We hear you.

There are so many wonderful sleeping tools for babies available in the market, but reviewing each, and deciding which one to pick, is enough to put you to sleep!

Luckily, Greendigo helps you make the almighty important decision of sleep sack or baby blanket.

But first, what are the functions of both?

Sleep Sack - A Serene Home

A sleep sack, aka wearable blanket, is a bag-like garment, made from a soft fabric, that helps keep your baby warm and safe during the night.

The role of a baby sleep sack is simple - to provide a smart alternative to standard blankets and other forms of loose bedding.

Unlike a swaddle or wrap, a sleep sack gives your child unrestricted freedom to wriggle, kick and roll.

Greendigo’s sleep sacks for infants and toddlers are woven out of 100% pure organic cotton, for that ultimate parental peace of mind.

Our sleeping sacks are thoughtfully designed for babies between 0-12 months.

And you’ll be pleased to know that they come with multifaceted features like shoulder snaps and side zippers, thus making it very convenient to tuck your baby in.

Additionally, the wearable bags boast of a fitted neck and armholes to ensure that there is no danger of slipping, whilst also maintaining the freedom to move.

Baby Blanket – A Cosy Shelter

A baby blanket is a swath of cloth that is large enough to cover or enfold a baby’s body.

There are many types of baby blankets, in varying sizes and shapes, for a variety of different purposes.

For instance, the receiving blanket acts as a wonderful play mat or surface for a baby to crawl on. It is typically smaller and more lightweight than the others.

The security blanket, on the other hand, is designed to keep the baby warm, safe and secure during bedtime. As such, it is thicker in nature.

The swaddle blanket, like its name suggests, is used to wrap the baby snugly.

Now, crib blankets are blankets that are designated specifically to the crib and/or nursery.

Making the Right Choice

So, which one should you go for – a sleep sack or baby blanket?

To answer this question effectively, you must first consider the need.

You may wish to swaddle your baby, or perhaps provide a light cover.

You may simply want a surface to let your baby lounge on, or a covering that enables free movement of limbs.

Understand and recognise your baby’s unique requirements.

To make the most optimal decision, go over the following factors – size, comfort quotient, ease of use, style, safety, and maintenance.

Keep in mind, the sleep sack is a popular bedtime option for parents whose babies have outgrown the act of swaddling.
