I am sure that a lot of people have heard of Grobag.  I first found out about Grobag when I was looking to buy my first baby sleeping bag for my kids.  So what is a SilkSac?  SilkSac, similar to Grobag, is a baby sleeping bag.  The difference of SilkSac from Grobag, or any other baby sleeping bag in the market is the fact that it is filled with silk floss instead of traditional polyester filling.  Similar to Grobag, SilkSac offers temperature ratings.  You probably heard of Halo SleepSack as well.  Halo SleepSack consists of only a layer of fleece material, which is not warm enough for winter, but too warm for summer.  Unlike Halo SleepSack, SilkSac has a silk floss filling that provides the added warmth.   

You are probably wondering what is the benefit of using silk filling instead of polyester.  The benefits are numerous. 

1.  Silk filling is 100% natural and hypo-allergenic, especially good for those who suffers from allergies.  It is great for babies as they virtually have no immune system.

2.  Silk is very light weight, yet incredibly warm. 

3.  The silk filling is 100% hand make by stacking thin layers of stretched silk cocoons.  This layering system makes the silk filling suitable for year round usage as its silk filling can regulate body temperature by retaining heat when cold, and releasing excess heat through its layers when hot.    

4.  Silk is naturally fire retardant, making it a very safe bedding material for babies.

In addition to the benefits of its silk filling, SilkSac is unique in that its silk filling is removable, making it very versatile and can be used even during summer time.  It also has an added travel feature allowing babies to wear SilkSac in car seats or strollers.   

SilkSac is unique and has been introduced to the market about two years ago.  There are great reviews on this product.  A lot of parents said their babies began to sleep through the night after using SilkSac.   If you are a new parent, give yourself a break.  Check out the site and find out what a SilkSac can do for your baby and yourself.

Following my previous block on how the SilkSac, a silk filled baby sleeping bag, is created, I would like to let everyone know that I have designed a new and improved SilkSac, which we called SilkSac II.  Gathering all the feedbacks from moms who have purchased a SilkSac, we redesigned and improved the SilkSac to a new generation of SilkSac that is even better and mom friendly.  SilkSac II uses high thread count cotton fabric, a stylish contrasting color design, and other added features. 

SilkSac is a great product for new moms to prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).  New moms can now sleep restfully without worrying about the SIDS caused by suffocation.  You can visit my official site to find out more about the product and its benefits:

If you have any questions on SilkSac, feel free to make a comment and I will be delighted to answer your questions.

I was a new parent once, and I still remember how I felt the first night I took Ethan home from the hospital.  I was supposed to be sleeping whenever the baby is sleeping so I can get some rest and try to recuperate from the draining experience of giving birth, but I couldn’t.  Even when everyone was sleeping late at night, I would consciously wake up every 20 minutes to check on Ethan to make sure that he was still breathing, the blanket is not on his head, etc.  I guess I could blame that on all the articles and books that I read on topics relating to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) before I gave birth.  After talking to other new parents, I realized that I was not the only one.  All new parents, or specifically new moms, have the fear that one day she would wake up and find the baby not breathing. 

It is still a mystery for everyone what really caused SIDS, but from medical journals to hospitals to doctors, the possible caused are being defined to help parents prevent SIDS.  The following is a list of preventions extracted from an article issued by the American SIDS Institute.

While I was experiencing this constant fear, I tried what I could to following American SIDS Institute’s suggestion to prevent SIDS.  One thing I did was not to have loose blankets, pillows, and stuff animals around Ethan.  I used a wearable blanket by Carter’s during the first few months, found it very useful.  I slept a lot better after using it.  But the problem is the one layer of fleece material was not warm enough for winter time, and also the Carter’s one sized sleep sack was getting too small as my son was getting bigger.  That’s when I started looking around for a bigger sleep sack.  The other popular sleep sack that I could find online is by Halo Innovations, called Halo Sleepsack.  But again, this sleepsack is only made of one layer of fleece material, too warm for summer, but not warm enough for winter.  Then I found the Grobag, the most popular baby sleeping bag in Europe.  I like it very much, but it is only available in Europe, unless I want to pay for expensive international shipping.  That’s when I decided to make my own sleep sack because fortunately my mother-in-law can sew.  When I was purchasing the material, I used 100% cotton fabric because it is more durable and breathable.  I also didn’t like the polyester filling because 1. it is a flammable material, 2. it is not natural, and 3.  it is not as soft as I would like, so I can’t imagine my son being comfortable in it.  At that time, my creativity came into play.  I had a silk comforter that my parents bought for me when they were in China.  I decided to use the silk filling for Ethan’s sleep sack. 

You may not know what a silk comforter is.  It is basically a comforter filled with silk floss instead of polyester filling.  The silk comforter is just incredibally soft and comforting.  I felt in love with it the first time I used it.  But as much as I loved it, I wanted my son to have the best.  So I cut out the cotton cover, exposed the silk floss inside the comforter, and my mother-in-law made two sleep sacks for Ethan using the silk floss fillings.  Later on I named this silk filled sleep sacks SilkSac.  I could see that my son loved the SilkSac because he seems very comfortable in it.  It is not thick, but it is very warm.  The best part was it was not too warm for summer.  I knew because I have used the same silk comforter for both summer and winter.       

When I bring this idea to other mothers, they loved the idea too.  And they wish I can make more for them.  That’s when I started looking into making the SilkSac.  SilkSac has since been improved to include a removable cover so the silk batting inside can be preserved.  The SilkSac has been so well received that so many parents come back to buy the bigger size for their child, and even buy for their friends who are expecting. 

From a new mom’s nightmare, I have created a great product that I hope can help provide every new mom with a peace of mind and help every new born to sleep safely and comfortably.
