How to use the Clever Sleeping bag?Updated a year ago
Creating a safe environment for your baby to sleep can be a daunting task; there are so many options for sleepwear and so much advice on what’s right for them.
Sleeping bags are designed to make choosing what you put your baby in for sleeping simpler, taking away some of the safety and temperature issues of bedtime.
The Lullaby Trust, a charity that promotes safer sleep for babies, have listed the sleeping bag as essential in their product guide.
A baby sleeping bag is a good option as they prevent little ones head from accidentally being covered and the availability of different TOGs means you can choose the right one for the season.
why are they good for babies?
- Little ones love to wriggle, even when they’re sleeping. A Sleeping Bag keeps their legs tucked in to avoid them waking up chilly in the night because they’ve kicked off the covers. The fitted neck opening and armholes also ensure your baby won’t slip down inside the bag.
- Sleeping bags provide a familiar sleeping environment for your little one. An evening routine can be established as they’ll (hopefully) associate winding down and sleeping with being placed into the sleeping bag, even if it’s for storytime on the sofa or bedroom floor.
- Sleeping bags are designed with many useful features such as double-directional zips to make changing easier and clever openings for a pushchair so your little one can snooze undisturbed on the move.
- As your little one grows, a sleeping bag remains a good choice as they give them plenty of room to move around & grow. We understand babies grow too fast which is why we designed the MORI Clever Sleeping Bag to fit from 8-9lbs (4kgs) (this size can be anywhere from newborn to 3 months) up to 2 years. (This means you don’t have to replace the sleeping bag every 6 months how handy!)
what age to use a sleeping bag from
It’s very important you get a sleeping bag that’s the right size for your little one; if it’s too big, there's a chance their head could slip down. Sleeping bags often have a lower weight limit, usually around 8-9lbs (4kgs) so depending on your babies size they can be used from birth.
the perfect temperature all year round
The variety of TOGs available for sleeping bags make them safe for sleeping all year round, but what is a TOG? Thermal Overall Grade. Put simply, it determines the thickness of the sleeping bag: the higher the rating the warmer it is.
A standard 2.5 TOG is suitable for the British climate most of the year, however, a more lightweight one is better for when the weather warms up...or you head on holiday!
