We get the temperature down pretty low at night, and if we run the wood-burning stove, it keeps the temperature artificially high downstairs, and that makes it even colder upstairs where we sleep. The rest of us are wearing jammies and snuggling under a blanket or a comforter, but poor baby doesn't grok the whole blanket thing. We tried, and he just cried until we took it off. So we think of the sleepsack as a wearable blanket. Our baby wears regular jammies, socks, the footie jammies you mention, and a sleepsack.

Not only did they keep the kids warm in bed, they still did when they managed to escape their cribs. And made great all-but-the-head animal costumes for Halloween. When I was a kid they had blankets that you fastened down all around the crib, with a neck hole (with knit collar) and a zipper. You put the kid in with just his head out and zipped him up. I don't know how many babies strangled in them. At least no one in my immediate family. So, did something happen to blanket jammies with non-slip feet in the last 30 years since I cared?
