Baby Sleep Sack
Baby Sleep Sack -
Valuable aid for bedtime

I have become an enthusiastic advocate of a
baby sleep sack, since my grandson so readily associates his Go-Go
Bag with his sleep routines for both daytime and night-time sleeps.
He very much associates settling into his bedtime routines with his baby sleep sack, which for him is his "Gogo bag".
His Dad reads stories to him, while Jamie holds his cuddly, all snuggled in his gogo bag.
As he and his parents have always lived in hot climates, his baby sleep sack
has meant there was no need for blankets, duvet or
other bedding, and yet he is
covered, secure and comfortable.
In colder climates, parents comment that their baby stays
warm within
the baby sleep sack when the covers are kicked off.
There are many baby sleep sacks available in numerous countries and once used
parents find them invaluable as aids for bedtime routines as well as
solving many problems about heat, cold and baby coverings. Many
different types of materials are used; cotton, wool, merino, quilting,
etc.
I suggest you look at this wonderful website -
Merino Kids:
Merino bag - Gogo Bag from New Zealand.
A baby sleep sack is another valuable aid to
baby sleep problems and enables
asscociation with sound bedtime routines.
Swaddling Newborns:
Swaddling is also a technique that I would
recommend for the very young baby.
This is when the baby is wrapped firmly in a
swaddling cloth
before being placed in the crib or bassinette, or settled for sleep.

The idea behind this is that babies respond to firm swaddling which imitates the
security of the mother's womb.
Many newborns appear more at ease when firmly swaddled.
A large, light muslin cloth which stretches,
breathes and moves flexibly is the easiest to use.
There are many ways to swaddle a baby, and it's good for
parents to experiment.
Some babes like to be completely wrapped, while others are happier with
an arm left out, or the wrapping to be less firm.
Many years ago, mothers just used a cloth nappy to swaddle
their babies.
Experiment with your own style, but be sure not to
use acrylic cloth which doesn't breathe.
There are some wonderful helpful books which
describe different methods of wrapping for different baby needs and
different baby sleep problems.
