Sleep sack does not look comfortable.
And Im in my 30s with a baby under 1 yrs old.
I use a blanket under her arms, until chest. |
Why don’t you think it looks comfortable?

The PJ I put under them are a shirt and pants

If the "sleeper" is microfleece or similar, use instead of a blanket.
A sleep sack is the same thing but without sleeves and a sack instead of separate "sleeves" for the legs.

Good to know I am not causing my babies harm by not putting them in a sleep sack.
My question, Don't the babies arms get cold by only having PJ on and not a blanket?

That would depend on how warm or cool your home is

They make warmer sleep sacks with arms too (usually for very cold rooms).
But the reason they generally leave them off is that this allows the baby to regulate its body temperature better. My baby's arms don't seem cold.

Got it. So to me, that’s just warm pajamas. I would put just an undershirt/onesie under, and wouldn’t put anything over, for a baby.

Blankets fall off. Sleep sacks don't.

I use those as PJs on very cold nights. In general, I prefer sticking with cotton PJs and cotton sleep sacks to prevent sweating
Also, I can't imagine my chubby baby fitting in that with PJs underneath.... A sleep sack is very loose

I’m general my kids don’t keep their blankets on so I need to make sure they are warm and turn the heating up. So my baby isn’t cold from the lack of sleeves.
For what it’s worth she LOVES her sleep sack and she’s 1.5

A sleep sack solves this problem as it is a wearable blanket so baby will stay warm without having to worry about the risk of suffocation.
Thats why I always used one |
Seema advice in America. Anything soft in the crib for a baby under one is considered a potential hazard.

Gives them a cozier feeling. Do you enjoy sleeping in just pajamas?

She's referring to what the New Yorkers call stretchies.

The fact that there is no separation between the legs, maintains more warmth.

For my 4 month old baby, putting her in a sleep sack makes sure her thighs don't get stuck in the crib slats
before we put her in a sleep sack, she would roll over and stick one leg between one slat and the other leg between another slat and get really stuck
So the sleep sack makes it that her legs can't go in the slats because there is material between them
