Halo Sleepsack and SIDS Awareness Month Giveaway
Did you know that 80-90% of SIDS-related deaths are due to unsafe sleep practices? It is important to use Safe Sleep Practices to help prevent it.
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.
HALO Innovation’s SleepSack® wearable blankets have become the standard for hospital nurseries and parents alike. In fact, 1,000 hospital nurseries use the HALO SleepSack Swaddle instead of blankets through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. HALO Innovations also offers free Safe Sleep Practices kits to childbirth educators to help further the cause of SIDS prevention.

Thank you for restating the tips. With each child they always seem to change. As for the Halo sleeper – they are wonderful! I loved that I knew I was keeping my child safe and warm at the same time.
I am so glad to read these great tips. When my daughter was a baby, no one really talked about SIDS and there weren’t great tips. I will have to remember all of this and pass on the great information.
I love the Halo Sleep Sacks! I have several of them and feel safe with her wearing them.
Thankfully my kids are all past this stage now. I loved my co-sleeper for when they were little. Kept them safe while keeping them close.
Great product!!
I used one with my little one when she was a baby and I can’t stress the peace of mind knowing that not only was she snug as a bug in a rug but she was SAFE!!
Perfect shower gift for any new mommies for sure.
Very important information for parents!
Great tips on safe sleeping. My heart hurts for those affected by SIDS… and I am so thankful for companies such as HALO who constantly outreach with tips like these. Thank you
I really needed this when the twins were babies. I stayed up most the night worrying about them and the other half feeding them. SIDS is just plain scary. I hope new parents see this!
I used to LOVE bundling my babies up in these. Now, I always give them as gifts!
I used to used these sleep sacks with all my kids in lieu of blankets.
Thanks to Halo for raising awareness about this. This was something I was terrified of happening when my kids were babies.
I love sleepsacks so much. My daughter was always in them when she was little.
We love our HALO SleepSack!
