HALO's Hospital Program



HALO Innovations has been working with hospitals to provide SleepSack Swaddles through it's HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. Today, Over 800 hospitals nationwide are taking part in the program and modeling safe sleep practices for new parents right from their child's first day of life. Leading health organizations agree that modeling proper baby care in the hospital in the hospital is the single biggest influencer on how parents will care for their child at home!


We were given a SleepSack when Emerson was born! It was great to be given one of these to take home. It was just a cotton one in a cream color. It had Henry Ford Macomb Hospital embroidered on it which is the hospital he was born in! It no longer fits as it was a newborn size and he's far past that!! Up to 23" and up to 12 pounds! But it says 3 months!!! He's HUGE!


I'm so glad that hospitals are doing this. It is a great way to model safe sleep.

We got one when we had our daughter. She has to have it or doesn't sleep as well :)

We got one when our son was born too. I wish they would give a size small since some little ones don't fit in the newborn one for very long. We loved ours
