At Night
While you want to keep your child snug on cold winter nights it is important not to let them get too warm as overheating your baby is linked to an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), otherwise known as cot death. Buy a thermometer and make sure you keep the room at a comfortable temperature between 16-20°C. Baby Sleeping Bags are a great idea because it avoids the risk of your child burying themselves under the covers or kicking them off. On cold nights dress your baby in a 3.5 tog sleeping bag. These bags are warmly padded and suitable for use in colder winter weather and in room temperatures below 18 degrees. You can also buy long sleeve sleeping bags to keep your little one extra cosy! To avoid overheating, keep their bed away from radiators and heaters. To check your baby’s temperature, feel their tummy or the back of their neck (your baby’s hands and feet will usually be cooler, which is normal so don’t worry). If your baby’s skin is hot or clammy, remove some layers.
During the day
It's important to keep your child warm and cosy throughout the day as well as during the night. Our sleeping bags with feet are a great solution for babies and toddlers who like to enjoy the comfort and cosiness of their sleeping bag, but also want the freedom to move about and walk around. With leg holes to pop their feet through they can stay warm and cosy on the move. We've also launched our NEW sleeping bags with feet and detachable sleeves for extra warmth. The sleeves are detachable with press studs so if your child is too warm or too cold, you can attatch or remove as required.
We've also got a great selection of long sleeve sleepsuits and bodysuits to use day and night. This will add an extra layer of warmth underneath your baby's sleeping bag for extra cold days.
