How to dress a baby for sleep?

Every mother/father wants to avoid any kind of discomfort for their baby at night, whether it's being cold, uncomfortable, or not being able to move freely.
We'll tell you how to promote a good sleep routine and hygiene for your baby.

A sleeping bag has many advantages, but which bag should I use? We answer this and many other questions in this article.

We'll tell you everything you need to ensure your little one's restful sleep, comfort, and safety, as well as all the advantages of using a baby sleeping bag.

Why use a sleeping bag?

Families often ask us what the difference is between putting pajamas and a blanket on them and putting a sleeping bag on them. Experts advise that it's better for babies to use sleeping bags rather than blankets, which create discomfort and insecurity.

Blankets can cover their faces, and we don't want that to happen at any time. Not only that, but blankets or quilts can easily uncover them, thus disrupting their body temperature.

Sleeping bags are practical and safer for your baby, as they allow free movement without compromising breathing and maintain a stable body temperature.

Can a newborn use a sleeping bag?

This is a very common question among first-time parents. We usually give the same advice; it depends on the baby's size. You have to wait until the baby's head can pass through the neck of the sleeping bag once it's closed, thus avoiding the risk of suffocation.

Every baby is unique, and so is every body. We have sleeping bags from sizes 0-3 months, which is what we typically recommend for a newborn. Even so, our advice is to wait until after the first month, see how your baby's sleep progresses, and monitor how they grow.

Another recommendation is that, depending on the time of year and the room temperature, it's preferable to use a sleeping bag or not. We'll explain later what type of sleeping bag to use, depending on the time of year.

How to choose a sleeping bag for your baby?


Below we show you the types of bags, types of filling, and, most importantly, when to use them. There are different types of sleeping bags with different thicknesses. Depending on the time of year, you'll need to choose one or the other. We refer to the thickness as the TOG.

To learn how to keep your baby at the right temperature for sleep and which sleeping bag to use, let's talk about TOG, which is one of the most important things when choosing a sleeping bag.

The TOG measurement determines its thickness and, therefore, the warmth it provides to your baby. The higher the number, the thicker the mattress.

  • TOG 2.5: This is the recommended sleeping bag for winter. Designed to protect your baby from lower temperatures and cold nights. (Rooms between 16 and 21 degrees)
  • TOG 1.0: Recommended for mid-seasons, i.e., spring and fall. Designed to protect baby on cooler nights. (Rooms between 21 and 23 degrees)
  • TOG 0.5: Recommended sleeping bag for summer. Designed for your little one's comfort on those nights after high daytime temperatures. (Rooms between 23 and 27 degrees) This way, little ones won't need a duvet or to be covered up; they'll be protected all night and can move around freely.
