Q: This leaves their hands free, what do you recommend covering their hands with so they don't scratch themselves at night? Can you tuck the arms in the halo sleepsack?
A: This is the Halo Sleepsack, which is designed for babies too old to be swaddled (babies who roll). Halo also makes a velcro Swaddle, which covers the arms and hands. You can always cover hands with mittens to prevent scratching, but our NICU nurses told us that the benefits of letting the baby explore its hands outweigh the risks of scratches, while heal quickly.

Q: How do I tell which Halo swaddles have a TWO WAY zipper? I find the inverted zippers difficult for a squirming baby.
A: "Our products with the two-way zipper will have a zipper cover at the top of the SleepSack. The inverted zippers do not have this cover." answer is not true. i have a one way zipper and has cover.
submitted byJan - 2 years agoA: HALO here! We've updated all current models to include an inverted zipper. Currently we do not offer a method to determine which SleepSack will have a two-way zipper, so you may need to look at the product images to confirm its zipper style. Our products with the two-way zipper will have a zipper cover at the top of the SleepSack. The inverted zippers do not have this cover.

Q: Is this cotton sleepsack warm enough for winter? The bedroom is about 65 degrees.
A: HALO here. The 100% cotton SleepSacks are rated a 0.5 TOG which means they are ideal for room temperatures that reach 75 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If you need something warmer, we recommend our velboa or micro-fleece SleepSacks.

Q: Where is this manufactured?
Q: Will baby be warm enough wearing this along with footie pajamas in a room that is 69 degrees?
A: ALO TOG recommendations are a guideline to help parents select which material is best. All babies run at different temperatures and are comfortable with different levels of insulation. Please observe your babies behavior and temperature for the first few days and adjust if needed. The TOG rating should only be used as a guide. Please keep in mind that layering allows great flexibility in keeping babies warm and cozy without overheating. The SleepSack Wearable Blanket is suitable for a wide range of temperatures by adjusting the clothing worn underneath it. Babies can wear anything from just a diaper, to a long sleeve bodysuit or a cotton coverall.

Q: My 4 month daughter is tall and skinny- she weighs 13 pounds and is 25 inches long. Can I go up a size and order a medium so she grows into it?
A: HALO here. We DO NOT recommend using a SleepSack Wearable Blanket that does not correspond to your baby’s current size. The purpose of the wearable blanket is to keep your baby from having any excess material that may bunch up around the baby’s nose or mouth. If the baby is wearing a wearable blanket that is too large, there is a potential for the baby's head to slip through the neck hole or for excess material to bunch up around their face.
