Snuz Pouch Baby Sleeping Bag, 2.5 Tog – Cloud Nine Design – Soft 100% Cotton with Zip For Easy Nappy Changing – 0-6M

Product Information

We have the super love merino ones which are also 0-2. They are much thinner than usual ones so not bulky. They have poppers under arms to use when small so they can’t slip down. Ds started using around 3-4 months and they seems comically long, but after a month is so seemed to fit perfect. He’s still using now at 1 year and they feel lovely and soft still. They still have growing room." (Recommended by Mumsnetter Caspianberg) Our verdict As is the case with duvets, the warmth of a baby sleeping bag is measured in togs – a unit of thermal insulation or resistance. Below is an approximate guide of which tog is appropriate for a baby at various temperatures: There are plenty of baby sleeping bags specifically designed for newborns – the ErgoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag, for example, which won our Best for Newborns award.

Enter baby sleeping bags, which promise to offer a way to keep your baby covered while they sleep through the night (wishful thinking), and to give you some peace of mind. That being said, there’s been plenty of discussion around the safety of baby sleeping bags. How can you make sure that your baby is warm enough, but not too warm, in a baby sleeping bag? What about the risk of them accidentally wriggling down into their sleeping bag? Bringing a new baby home comes with a whole set of concerns, not least of which is whether your newborn is comfortable, warm and safe under their baby blanket. Unless the blanket is somehow solidly wedged into the side of their cot, it’s unlikely to stay in place – what with the little flailing arms and legs – and you won’t be able to look away for even a second before it’s time to readjust the blanket again.At Mumsnet we know how important it is that everyone gets a good night’s sleep. That’s why we spend hours researching and testing the products recommended by the millions of parents who visit our forums - from the best cot bed or mattress protector to the best swaddle blankets, we’ve got you covered for the essentials.

Sleeping bags come in sizes with recommended age ranges. If the range is only a few months (a 0-6 month size, for example), think about what season it will be in a few months’ time – will your tog rating match that season and will you get enough wear out of it in that time? Of course, it goes without saying that the washed sleeping bag should be completely dry and cool before it’s used again for bedtime – damp fabrics can make a baby cold, and metal poppers and zips can burn straight from the tumble dryer. How much do baby sleeping bags cost?This one’s made from soft and stretchy cotton jersey and has a cute star print. As well as the nappy changing zip, there’s a zip at the side for getting your baby in and out of the sleeping bag with ease.Mumsnetters really rate Snuz products, which appear in our guides to the best moses baskets as well as the best cot beds.

Fabric: Cotton and polyester | Sizes: 0-6 months, 6-18 months, 18-36 months | Tog: 2.5 What we love When it comes to the fabric from which it’s made, the best sleeping bag for a baby will be breathable, preferably hypoallergenic, and soft and gentle on their delicate skin. Organic soft cotton or bamboo are good options. In addition, a sleeping bag that’s easy to clean, preferably machine washable and also tumble dryer-safe, will spare you the hassle of hand-washing it when it inevitably gets dirty. Closing
