BittaSack Gray Stripe

Our social media manager tried out this sleep sack. Here are her thoughts: A couple key facts about my son’s sleep habits before I share my thoughts: He is just over a year old, so he’s very used to sleep sacks (we’ve used them from the start). He already has an attachment to lovies. I don’t recommend this in any way, but we introduced one about 6 months- against Joan and our pediatrician’s recommendation. I wish I had known about this sleep sack when my son was little. He used to try to get comfortable grabbing onto his sleep sack! He just wanted to grab onto something while he slept. I delayed months introducing a lovey- and still did so before it was truly safe. This sleep sack would have made me so much more comfortable meeting him where he was- too little to have a loose blanket in his crib, but wanting comfort. The attached loveys are terry cloth, so you could easily replicate it as your child gets older. The material is nice and soft- comparable to the popular sleep sack we’ve been using from day one. This sleep sack features a whole lot of fasteners- velcro, snaps, a zipper. It’s a bit complicated for a sleep-deprived parent! And if you have a very tired, wriggly baby, even harder. It’s not rocket science, though, so I would just recommend practicing a couple times with a happy baby first. Probably a good idea, anyway, to help them get used to it!

Baby just woke up 30 minutes into his nap, and I watched him (via the monitor) grab the lovey from his sleep sack, rub it, and fall back asleep. He's quickly outgrowing his so I'm buying the next size up so we have it ready!

This item was referred to me by a sleep consultant and it worked like a charm since the day it arrived. Great quality, great company

After discovering the BittaSack, it is the only sleep sack that we use. Our baby plays with the little attached lovies until he falls asleep, and he uses them to soothe himself when he wakes up in the night. We bring these sleep sacks everywhere we go and have also given them as gifts. They are great!!

Pros: + lovies are soft, and well-positioned for baby to find + bottom-up zipper makes it easy to close Cons: - the anti-twist crotch strap always comes undone, and it takes longer to dry than the rest of the sack. - One of the shoulder buttons does not stay fastened - Material shrinks considerably - Areas where lovie attaches begins to degrade, due to stress of baby constantly tugging at it Review: Our little fella loves these lovies, so this sack with pre-attached lovies is the only option. The sack isn't as high quality as other competitors, and they tend to shrink. The lovies get absolutely disgusting, which requires a wash for each use. We buy these because it is less effort than creating and sewing on lovies to other sleep sacks. However, we're not super in love with the products, as the quality control tends to be a bit spotty. My suggestions: (1) Get rid of the crotch strap. It always comes undone, and it just adds unnecessary bulk. It also adds significant drying time, which increases likelihood of shrinkage. (2) Use some sort of reinforcement on the areas where lovie attaches. This area tears often. (3) Higher quality cotton might shrink less. (4) Make the sack slightly longer to account for potential shrinkage.

This sleep sack is the best because of the safe lovey attached. Its cozy and cute too!

My son absolutely loves this sleep sack! We have tried other ones but the attached lovies make a huge difference in him being able to sleep through the night. We also appreciate the great customer service and responsiveness of the company!
