SIDS Awareness with HALO {Giveaway}

October is SIDS Awareness Month and Halo wants to remind parents of the best practice to prevent SIDS.

Safe Sleep Practices

ALWAYS

• Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
• Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snuggly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
• Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
• Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
• Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.

NEVER

• Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface
• Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.

We love using our Halo Sleepsack. We like to keep the house cool at night so we love using our Halo Micro-Fleece Sleepsack so Simon stays warm.

As the weather is starting to get colder the Micro-Fleece Sleepsack is must. It’s super soft and comes in several different adorable designs for boys, girls or gender neutral.

With the Halo Sleepsack I can put Simon in his regular pajamas and then put the sleepsack on him before bed. I don’t worry about him kicking off a blanket and getting too cold in the middle of the night.

I think Simon likes his sleepsack as he always gets extra snuggly when we put it on him.

Buy
You can buy Halo Micro-Fleece Sleepsacks at Target or Amazon.com. Prices start at $24.95 and come in 4 different styles: SleepSack, Swaddle, Early Walker, Big Kids.
