Sleeping bags?

Hi, I have a question for you all.. I see these sleeping bag type things in all the shops and was wondering, do many of you use these for your baby or do you swaddle? Any little babies I have seen have been swaddled, I've never seen these sleeping bags before. Also, if you do use them, do you put anything else on the baby, like another blanket or something? These things are sleeveless so it would seem to me maybe the baby's arms might be cold?? Thanks

hi mrs happy hope your keeping well! we swaddled DD until she was too big (kept getting her arms out!) so then we got one of those gro-bags, it was great because she kept kicking the blankets off herself! we'd normally put her in it in her baby-grow or pjs and then go back up when she had nodded off and put a blanket over her to keep her warm. But then she figured out how to get out of it so we've stopped putting her in it! I think they are good and will use it again on baby no.2

Thanks Mrs HM! We were wondering if people use them or how you use them, we have a lot to learn (only just recently figured out what a babygro is duh! )

I always used them on my DS they are not for brand new babies though
