When to stop sleep sacks?

Every child's journey is unique, guided by their own pace. When your child feels ready for more freedom in sleep, or when they start moving actively in their crib, that is a sign. Stay positive, watch your child, and seek guidance from your child's doctor.

My friend's kid stopped using it when he was almost 2. Apparently, he kept getting his legs tangled when he tried to stand up in the crib. So, when they get too big or active for it, I guess.

Just like with thyroid, where you track progress, with baby milestones you also observe. Generally, when they start walking, pulling themselves up, or seem uncomfortable in the sleep sack around 18-24 months, it's time. Always follow up with your paediatrician's advice.

Sleep sacks are usually safe, but you should stop using them when your child can stand or climb out of the crib in the sack, as it becomes a fall hazard. This can be around 18 months to 2 years, but varies. Consult your paediatrician for safety advice specific to your child.

My little cousin just stopped using his sleep sack a few months ago, he's like 2 now. His mom said he was trying to climb out of his crib with it on, so that was the sign. Guess it's when they get too mobile for it.
