Tuck your little one into these snug sleeping bags for a safer and hopefully longer snooze!
Once your baby outgrows his swaddles at around 3 months, it’s a good idea to put him in a sleep sack for his naps and at bedtime. Also known as a baby sleeping bag, these cosy cover-ups will keep your baby warm and comfy, while giving him plenty of room to stretch his legs.
Since it replaces loose bedding, you won’t have to worry that your sweetie will suffocate under a thick blanket or get tangled up in layers of cloth. Even better, baby won’t feel cold because he’s kicked off his blankie. This means you won’t have to wake up to tend to him either.
When you’re away from home, junior’s favourite sleeping bag will also be a source of comfort, helping him settle into a new environment faster. Sleep sacks are indeed a godsend, but since there are so many in the market, we’ve done the groundwork for you!
