What Should Babies Sleep in Under a Sleep Sack? Tips for Parents
It’s a common question: "What should babies sleep in under a sleep sack?" Will they be too hot? Will they be too cold? We have a guide to help you ensure your babe is comfy and safe so you both (hopefully) get some shut eye.
Why Get a Sleep Sack?
Sleep sacks are a popular choice for ensuring a safe and comfortable sleep environment for babies and toddlers. These wearable blankets replace loose blankets in the crib, reducing the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and providing a secure and cozy atmosphere for your little one to rest peacefully. Check out our blog, What is a Sleep Sack and Do I Need One? A Guide for Parents for the full scoop on sleep sack benefits and how to choose the right one for you.
The Ideal Sleepwear Combination
When it comes to what your baby should wear under a sleep sack, safety is king and comfort is queen. Here are some tips to consider:
- The Right Fit for Safety: You’ll want sleepwear that is snug fitting without being too restrictive. Loose fitting pajamas can get bunched up causing discomfort and also potentially block their nose and mouth.
- Temperature Regulation: Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo to help regulate your baby's body temperature and ensure a comfortable sleep environment.
- Comfort is Key: Choose sleepwear that is soft and gentle on your baby's delicate skin. Look for pajamas with flat seams to minimize irritation.
Our Top Pick: Bamboo Pajamas
Buckle Me Baby Coats bamboo pajamas for babies and toddlers are loved by so many parents for use under sleep sacks and beyond. Here’s why:
- Breathability: Bamboo fabric is known for its excellent breathability, helping regulate your baby's body temperature and ensuring a comfortable sleep throughout the night.
- Softness: The gentle and smooth texture of bamboo fabric is perfect for your baby's delicate skin, providing a cozy and irritation-free sleep experience.
- Hypoallergenic: Buckle Me Baby Coats bamboo pajamas are hypoallergenic, making them an ideal choice for babies with sensitive skin or allergies.

Genius Jams are GENIUS!
I bought these pjs for my daughter and she loves them! I love that the wrist and feet fold over. The bamboo makes the pjs so soft and they are stretchy which is so nice for a growing little one! Highly recommend!!

Love it!!!
It makes it so much easier on my daughter in law when she puts the kids in the car. Specially it the early morning hours when they get dropped off to me.

Exactly what I needed
My house runs cold and we keep the baby bundled with blankets to keep her warm. The problem is that our baby has happy feet and always kicks the blankets off. The cozy car seat blankie is perfect for keeping her toasty wherever she is. I was losing my mind having to pick up her blankets every few seconds, ESPECIALLY while she is in her bouncer or swing. The blankie itself is very soft but lightweight too so she doesn’t overheat. Would definitely recommend!

Softest blankie ever
I was reluctant to order for my grandson, because I knew that much of the winter would be over when it arrived. Once I received it in the beginning of Feb, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
In addition to being the softest fabric ever….
Its so light and comfy, that it could really be used all year long! ( even on a cool evening in the summer ) And the fact that it goes from 0-24 months is an added bonus!! Highly recommend

Must have!
I bought two of these for my, one a brown and gold for my 16mth old grandson and pink and lavender for my 20 mth old granddaughter.
I hated that the babies couldn’t wear their coats in the car. It’s cold here!!! We’ve had below zero windchills temps in the teens it lower. Getting the kids into the car, out of their coats and into the car seats is a major hassle, not to mention requires mom or dad to be out in the cold while trying to manage that.
Gigi to the rescue!! These coats are not only adorable, but so practical. I love the way they’re constructed. With Velcro next to the zipper, and the shoulder tabs, it fast and easy to get the kids secure in the car seats, harnesses against their body and the coat closed with the Velcro. The kids are warm, mom and dad’s life is easier and I’m not stressing over the babies being out minus their coat.

“These are perfect”, says my granddaughter who has 12 month old twins. They are safe in their seatbelts and stay covered and warm. The Velcro in the back is great. She says to give these blankies a 5 star rating.

Finally a coat she can wear in the car!
I bought this for my granddaughter because I couldn’t stand seeing her without a coat all the time. She likes it, it is warm and it doesn’t have to be taken off when she is in her car seat. It gets cold (42 degrees and windy today) but she still wants to play outside so having a coat that will keep her warm is a must. I am so thrilled someone realized there had to be a way to make a coat that can be worn safely in a car seat. I also love that it has a hood and is relatively easy to use.
