To ensure you’re giving baby their best ever bedtime, we’ve rounded up some of our most favourite sleeping bags on the market right now.
Baby sleeping bags are known to offer babies a safe cocoon during their slumber, and in turn can promote good sleep and become a recognisable part of your little one’s bedtime routine.
Benefits of Baby Sleeping Bags
When it comes to sleep, it is essential that baby is kept safe and sound through the night. Dressing them in a baby sleeping bag instead of using sheets or blankets illuminates the risk of suffocation and overheating.
Sleeping bags are essentially wearable blankets for babies that keep them comfortable and at a safe temperature during sleep. The design naturally means that their head remains uncovered.
Other benefits of baby sleeping bags include:
- They help baby to stay at a regulated temperate.
- Your baby can move around in the bag but still stay covered and cosy.
- They’re really handy for night feeds thanks to the zip or popper closure.
- Additional covers that baby could kick off or get tangled up in are not needed thanks to baby sleeping bags.
