Why Sleeping Bags?
- Your baby will wake up warm and therefore be more likely to go back to sleep
- Your baby cannot slip down inside the sleeping bag: sheets, blankets and duvets can go over baby's head
- Your baby can kick and wriggle contentedly and does not feel constricted
- Babies cannot get between the cot bars
- Sleeping Bags prevent baby from scratching itchy eczema
- When traveling, or in strange surroundings, your baby will always feel comfortable in its own sleeping bag
- The move from crib to cot and eventually to a bed is much easier.
What is tog rating and which should I have?
- Tog is simply a unit of measurement as to how much and how quickly the bag loses heat
- Tog does not mean weight of the bag - heavy is not necessarily warmer
- Remember baby retains its own body warmth when inside a Sleeping Bag and therefore the rating should never exceed 3 tog
Slumbersac has two ratings:-
- 2.5 Tog - for use all year round. Thisis equivalent to 2 blankets and a sheet
- 1.0 Tog - for use in warm rooms and hot summer nights. This is equivalent to 1 blanket and a sheet
The tog rating of the sleeping bag you use depends on the temperature of the Baby's nursery. Try to keep baby's room at a reasonable constant temperature.
If your baby is too warm or too cold then simply adjust their nightwear.
What Size Sleeping Bag?
Do not use a Sleeping bag for the first few weeks after birth. Your baby should weight over 8lb (3.5kg) before using a sleeping bag.
Slumbersac sleeping bags come in three sizes
Sizes 1 and 2 have 'snap' shoulder fastening and an all round zip. This makes for easy opening and changing without disturbing baby too much
Size 3 has a centre zip which is opened from the foot. This prevents older babies undoing the shoulder snaps and 'escaping'.
Size 1 - 66cm - To fit from birth up to approx. 6 months
Size 2 - 86 cm - To fit from 6 months up to approx. 18 months
Size 3 - (adjustable) 92/112cm - To fit from 12 months to 2 years (folded) 3 years (extended)
