S/o sleepsack and tripping

[Anonymous]

My child is a very new walker, and a few months ago, when she first started cruising along her crib railing inside the crib, my DH got nervous that she'd trip in the sleep sack. It happened around the same time she outgrew that particular size, so we just let it go. But now it is getting colder and I'm considering a sleep sack for the winter. Is tripping really a concern? Or do kids figure it out when they stand in a sack?

Why not footie PJs?

OP here, that's what we use now but I just worry about when it gets colder. I sleep with a blanket and it seems odd to have her sleep without, even when in layered pajamas

So what if she trips while in her crib? It's not like she's going to hit her head on a sharp corner and bleed out. It's fine. Mine wore a sleep sack until she was 3 and sleeping in a toddler bed. At that point, she was old enough to unzip it when she wanted to get out of bed. No sleep sack injuries

Get the halo early walker. Kids can walk in that.

My kid still loves to wear his at 2 and never had an accident because of it.

Why don't you give her a blanket? The SIDS risk is only for infants under age 1. And for all the people who will say their kid won't stay under the blanket, I don't want to hear it. My 9 month old uses a light blanket just fine. If they get cold, they figure it out. Or tuck a heavy quilt in for her. I just can't believe all these sleepsack conundrums posted daily. Or the toddler pillow nonsense! Just give her a blanket already, for the love of God.

A lot of kids don't keep blankets on, that's probably why. I usually find my three year old's blanket bunched up next to her when I check on her before I go to bed.

I said I didn't want to hear it...

If they pull the blanket off, then they can't be that cold. If they yell for you to cover them up, then really tuck a blanket under the edges of the mattress for them, or show them how to wriggle back under by themselves. I promise, even babies can do this if they are motivated to stay warm. Mostly, the blanket problem is in the same category as "I need a cup of water." A ploy to get you to give a little attention post bedtime. Respond if you want, but toddlers are capable of staying covered if they are really cold.

Tell us more, oh wise one. Your nine months of experience are incredibly helpful on this thread about toddlers.

They have sleep sacks with feet.

baby won't fall, let alone get hurt. I've had kids literally walk around the house in them.
