Baby Sleepwares

When Spencer was a new baby he found much comfort in being swaddled for sleep time. The moment he was swaddled he knew it was time for bed. He would sigh, close his eyes, and drift off to sleep. There was one short lived phase where he didn't like his arms swaddled but thankfully it passed quickly. Without the arms swaddled many new babies continually startle themselves awake. Once the startle reflex is gone (at approx. 3-months) we moved Spencer into a sleep sack. The sleep sack is great! The transition from swaddle to sleep sack was easy. Spencer understood that this was a part of his bedtime routine and seemed to welcome the change. I like that the sleep sack is much safer than loose blankets. Not to mention blankets just get kicked off. Costco has the best 100% cotton sleeper pj's with feet called Pekkle. Not only are they super-cute, they fit nicely and are only $8.00 per sleeper! Spencer has some Classic Pooh sleepers and a few other brands of sleepers that I really like... but at $20 per sleeper x6-8 per age stage it adds up quickly. At 5-months old Spencer is already in his 9-month old sleepers. So we have been through MANY sets already.
