If anything, I was more nervous this second time around, since we already safely made it through the newborn-baby-toddler phases with our first. Now, we had to do it all over again. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> When P was making her debut, the umbilical cord was wrapped tightly around her neck and was having trouble breathing. At the time, no one was telling me what was happening, but I knew something was not right. The nurse would not fully put P on my chest and I was not getting a chance to hold her. After the nurse was able to get P breathing and her body coloring turned a nice pink shade, I was then informed what had happened. Because of this, I feel like I automatically felt more protective of her and more nervous when I put her down. I know that this was not going to cause permanent damage, but it put me on edge for awhile and kept me up many nights. I was constantly checking on her and on her breathing. <i>'Is she okay?' 'Is she breathing?' 'Justin, come check her, please?' </i>Many nights, I slept with my hand on her chest while she slept in her <a href="http://www.halobassinest.com/">Bassinest</a>. But, the one thing that really helped me get through those nights was the <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">HALO SleepSack</a>. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">HALO SleepSack</a> helped keep my mind at ease and helped keep P safe and, oh, so warm! She is a cold little thing, so the fleece <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">HALO SleepSack</a> kept her nice and toasty, but never put her in harms way. We are still using the <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">HALO SleepSack</a> as we transition P from the <a href="http://www.halobassinest.com/">Bassinest</a> to her crib and own room, which helps me worry <i>less</i> while she is in there all by herself all.night. long. </div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i>Favorite <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">SleepSack</a> Features</i></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><br /></i></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">• The <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">SleepSack</a> is sleeveless to help reduce the risk of overheating. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">• The roomy sack design promotes healthy hip development and is recognized as <i>'hip healthy' </i></span>by <span style="text-align: justify;">the International Hip Dysplasia </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Institute.</span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">•  <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/?utm_source=influencers&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=2017">HALO</a>'s message of <i>'Back is Best'</i></span><i> </i>is enscribed on all <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">SleepSacks</a> to remind all <span style="text-align: justify;">caregivers to put baby to sleep on </span><span style="text-align: justify;">their back. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">• The <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/">SleepSack</a> has an i</span>nverted zipper for easy diaper <span style="text-align: justify;">changes - no need to unswaddle and disturb your baby. </span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;">• The </span><a href="http://www.halosleep.com/sleepsack/" style="text-align: justify;">SleepSack</a> is available in three cozy fabric options: Cotton [perfect for warmer months], Fleece [perfect for those wintery nights] or Muslin [perfect for anytime]! </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i>More about <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/?utm_source=influencers&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=2017">HALO</a></i></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.halosleep.com/?utm_source=influencers&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=2017">HALO</a> Innovations is dedicated to putting the health, safety and well-being of babies first.
