With the arrival of the colder months of the year, one of our biggest concerns is knowing how to dress our baby properly, especially when they are a newborn. In today's post, we explain why winter baby sleeping bags are the best option for this time of year.
Where do we start?
When we are first-time mothers, dressing them, especially in winter, can be complicated: how should they sleep? how many layers of clothing should they wear? how thick should the clothes be?
Well, as a general rule, for babies to be well-bundled, they usually need one more layer of clothing than us. However, we must not forget that there are other elements at play, such as the room temperature and the TOG, which is the thermal resistance of the garments.
At Petite Marmotte, we like to adapt to the needs of all little ones, and for this reason, we develop our products so that we can offer a TOG scale adapted to your needs.
Winter baby sleeping bags: sleep soundly knowing your baby is warm
As we said, one of our biggest concerns was that our little ones weren't warm enough, which made it difficult for us to sleep at night: we couldn't rest easy!
For this reason, we decided to find the perfect product that would be a solution for all families who don't sleep soundly due to these doubts, especially during the colder months: winter sleeping bags.
Petite Marmotte winter baby sleeping bags: features
Freedom of movement
Our sleeping bags are very comfortable and roomy: little ones can move freely! This way, they can continue to adopt the frog position as in the womb and move as much as they want with complete safety.
Front zipper
The sleeping bags feature a front zipper that goes all the way down, making diaper changes easy as it opens quickly and simply. Additionally, it's soft and hidden so it doesn't come into contact with the baby's chin, which we love!
With sleeping bags, warm and cozy in winter
Winter sleeping bags should be very warm and snug, and our sleeping bags are super soft and perfect for maintaining the ideal temperature for your baby during daytime naps and at night: the interior is made of extra soft fleece, so they won't get cold at all! Our TOG 2 winter sleeping bags are perfect for rooms between 18-23 degrees Celsius.
In addition to the fabrics themselves, we should not forget that one of the great advantages of sleeping bags is that they cannot uncover themselves or get cold at night, which is a major concern for us, especially during winter. With winter baby sleeping bags, even the most active children won't be able to uncover themselves!
Sleeveless baby sleeping bags
Another feature of our sleeping bags is that both the summer and winter TOG 2 bags are sleeveless. Considering they should wear one more layer than us, they are well bundled. As we said before, keeping them warm and safe is the TOG's job!
Baby sleeping bags with sleeves
If you're looking for a warmer sleeping bag with sleeves, our TOG 2.5 sleeping bags are perfect for you! Ideal for rooms between 17 and 20 degrees Celsius, they are the best option for areas where winter is very cold. Plus, you can add or remove the sleeves to adjust the warmth.
Organic cotton with GOTS certification
The outer fabric is made of organic cotton, the best for children's skin. Babies, especially newborns, have very sensitive skin and do not tolerate well the chemicals that other garments may contain: they cause redness, allergies...
For this reason, at Petite Marmotte, we always opt for organic cotton, as it is a fabric that protects the baby from cold and possible irritations. Fabrics also matter, and a lot!
The safest way to sleep
Finally, we must not forget one of the great advantages: sleeping bags are the safest option for sleeping, as there is no risk of the sheet or blanket ending up on their face. In addition, babies are wrapped in a way that makes them feel secure, thus preventing them from slipping under the sheets and covering themselves completely, which could be very dangerous.
Sleeping bag: choose the right size and thermal resistance
We know that it can sometimes be difficult to choose the perfect sleeping bag, and that's why we bring you a complete guide with recommendations on what size to choose, what TOG according to the room temperature, and how to dress them underneath their sleeping bag:
Regarding the sizes of our sleeping bags, we have two: 0-6 months and 6-12 months.
From one year of age, we recommend that you switch to the sleeping blanket pyjamas, as they are the continuation of the sleeping bags: this way, we ensure that they don't uncover themselves and continue to sleep warm.
Next, we provide a guide on how to dress your baby according to room temperature - it's always super helpful! Our sleeping bags have two thermal resistances: TOG 0.5 for the warmer months and TOG 2 for the colder ones.
4 Seasons Sleeping Bag: the alternative to the sleeping bag
Another alternative for keeping your baby warm inside the nest, and one that we also love, is the 4 Seasons Sleeping Bag. Unlike the regular sleeping bag, the 4 Seasons sleeping bag has two removable feather-effect fillings that can be added or removed depending on the temperature and season.
For example, now that we are entering the colder months of the year, it would be used with both fillings. Another thing we love is that the zipper is also protected so that it doesn't come into contact with the baby, and furthermore, it zips downwards so you can change the diaper without having to uncover them.
