What is the purpose of a sleep sack?

My sister-in-law told me to get a 'sleep sack' for my newborn baby. I'm not sure what it is or why it's needed. Can someone tell me what the purpose of a sleep sack is?

I ignored baby safety guidelines once and had a big scare when my nephew got tangled in a loose blanket. A sleep sack is designed to keep babies warm without the risk of loose sheets covering their faces, so please use one.

It is basically a wearable blanket for infants. It keeps them warm and prevents them from kicking off the covers, which means fewer wake-ups at night for busy working parents.

Sleep sack is super useful, haan. It keeps the baby snug like a little cocoon and there is no tension of them catching a cold during the night, na.

It is a very safe replacement for traditional heavy blankets which can slide over a baby's nose. Many new mothers in our community use it to ensure safe and comfortable sleep.

I tried swaddling with cotton sarees earlier, but a ready-made cotton sleep sack is much easier and safer. It keeps the baby comfortable without overheating them in our humid climate.
