Going Places Zipadee-Zip Fleece: Keep Baby Warm

Quick answer

Use the Going Places Zipadee-Zip Fleece as a stand-alone sleep sack for babies 3 months to 3 years. Pair with a cotton footed pajama and keep the room at 68-72°F for safe, comfortable sleep.

How to dress baby for safe sleep in the Fleece Zipadee-Zip

1. Check the room temperature: Keep the nursery between 68°F and 72°F. Use a thermostat or baby-safe room thermometer. A fleece sleep sack adds warmth, so you don’t need a high room temp. Avoid overheating: if the room is above 72°F, switch to a lighter sleep sack.
2. Dress baby in a cotton footed pajama: One layer of cotton footed pajamas under the fleece Zipadee-Zip is enough for most babies. The fleece fabric traps body heat, so extra layers can cause sweating or discomfort. Common mistake: adding a blanket or thick sweater. The fleece sleep sack is the blanket.
3. Zip up and check the fit: Place baby in the sleep sack with arms through the starfish openings. Zip fully and ensure the neck opening is snug but not tight. The sack should not ride up over baby’s face. If the sack is too loose, baby can slip down; if too tight, restrict movement. Adjust size as needed.
4. Monitor baby’s temperature through the night: Touch baby’s chest or back to check for warmth. If skin feels sweaty or hot, remove one layer. A cool chest means baby is comfortable. Never use a blanket on top of the sleep sack. Check once during the first hour of sleep to confirm baby isn’t overheating.
