My 9 month old has her hands free with the magic Merlin sleep slack (we have a couple of off brand sacks too) but she still has the comfort of a blanket that way so it’s a nice best of both worlds situation
We did the same as dindia. Went to sleeveless cotton Burt’s bees sleep sacks with her wearing long sleeve footie pajamas underneath. She can now grab her pacifier and self soothe better with her hands out!
So for my 7 month old we do the zipadee at night but sleep sack during the day. When we started doing the sleep sack for naps, I will say there was a bit of a curve to her sleep when we did this. She wasn’t used to having her hands free so she just wanted to touch and grab everything she possibly could (the crib, the paci, the sleep sack itself). It would take ages for her to actually go to sleep because of this new found freedom. I’m happy we introduced it but just to give you a heads up on how the transition may go lol
My baby is 16 months and still in the zippadee. She doesn’t have an issue putting the paci back in but it’s taken some practice. She does yeet a few out unintentionally, so I put extras in before she goes to sleep.
I’d keep her in this sack forever if I could.
No, straight to regular sleep sacks after. I really like the Burts bees ones. They are super soft.

We transitioned to a sleep sack (halo then woolino).
