A baby sleeping bag is an essential product for babies, as it prevents them from uncovering themselves and getting cold. But, when should I start using a sleeping bag for my baby? Sleeping bags replace sheets or blankets and can be used from day one. 😉 Without a doubt, it is the best option to safely cover the baby and maintain their temperature stable all night long. 🌛
Why we recommend baby sleeping bags
The baby sleeping bag is the safest option to ensure quality sleep. Thanks to its dual function, it keeps the baby warm and ensures that they will not uncover themselves at any time or get cold.
Benefits of using a baby sleeping bag:
⭐ Safe sleep: with a sleeping bag, you don't need to cover them with anything else. This eliminates the risk of suffocation or getting tangled in bed linens.
⭐ Part of their sleep routine: the baby will eventually associate the sleeping bag with bedtime. This way, they will fall asleep more easily.
⭐ You won't worry if they uncover themselves at night: even if your little one moves a lot during sleep, they will be securely covered. You can sleep peacefully knowing they won't get cold! 😉
From what age should you use a baby sleeping bag?
You can start using the baby sleeping bag from day one, provided the baby is not premature! At Petite Marmotte, we have many sizes according to the baby's age, and we also offer baby sleeping bags with different thermal insulation levels, known as the TOG.
And if your baby gets older, we also have sleeping bags with legs! 😉
Tips for choosing the best sleeping bag for your little one
Choose the correct TOG:
The TOG is a way to measure the thermal resistance of a garment. At Petite Marmotte, baby sleeping bags are tested in a laboratory to determine the appropriate temperature range. This ensures that the sleeping bag is perfect for your home's temperature.
We have baby sleeping bags in different TOGs:
🌡️TOG 0.5: temperature between 23º and 27º C (73º and 81º F)
🌡️TOG 1.5: temperature between 21º and 23º C (70º and 73º F)
🌡️TOG 2.5: temperature between 17º and 21º C (63º and 70º F)
Here is our definitive guide to help you choose the right TOG when buying your sleeping bag: 👇
Choose the ideal size for your baby's sleeping bag:
You should not choose a size that is too large or too tight. The important thing is that the baby has freedom of movement while inside the sleeping bag. At Petite Marmotte, we recommend choosing the size that corresponds to your child's age. Our sleeping bags run generously, so we do not recommend choosing a larger size.

Do I need to put anything under the baby sleeping bag?
If you want to keep your little one warm under the sleeping bag, putting on a bodysuit or pajamas underneath will be more than enough. Remember that it will depend on your home's temperature and the sleeping bag's TOG. The bubble sleeping bag replaces traditional blankets or duvet covers.
Above all, make sure your baby sleeps comfortably and with the necessary layers. This will undoubtedly help them achieve quality sleep. ❤️🌛
