When to stop using sleep sack?
Our baby is almost a year old and still uses a sleep sack for bedtime. My wife is thinking it might be time to stop. When do most parents typically stop using a sleep sack for their little ones?

Generally, when your child starts showing signs of wanting to climb out of the crib or stands independently, it's time to transition. This is usually between 18-24 months. Safety first, so avoid any potential falls.

Many people stop when baby starts standing or climbing. Just make sure they are safe.

For us, we stopped using the sleep sack when my son turned about 2 years old. He started trying to walk around in it and I felt it was becoming a tripping hazard. We just switched to a light blanket then.

It's a common question, mama. Each child is different, so trust your instincts.

Ugh, the sleep sack transition was so hard for us emotionally! It felt like losing a bit of their baby phase. We finally stopped when my daughter started trying to take it off herself around 2.5 years. It felt like she was ready.

We stopped with my elder one when he was around 2 and half, because he started climbing out of the crib. For our second, we stopped earlier, around 18 months, as she was a very active sleeper. Look for signs like standing or climbing in the crib.
