Baby sleepbags are a great way to keep your baby safe and comfortable as they sleep. They're available in a range of sizes and tog ratings for different ages and seasons.
Read on to learn all about Tommee Tippee baby sleepbags, and discover which type is right for your baby.
What are the benefits of using a baby sleeping bag?
Lots of parents choose to dress their baby in a sleeping bag instead of using blankets or sheets which can pose a risk of suffocation and overheating. If you do use a lightweight blanket, make sure it's not tucked in higher than their shoulders and that they're in the "feet to foot" position, with their feet at the end of their cot or Moses basket.
Sleeping bags are like wearable blankets for babies that keep them comfortable and at a safe temperature as they sleep. They are safer for babies, because there's no need for duvets or loose blankets, so their head remains safely uncovered, reducing the risk of suffocation.
The other benefits of baby sleeping bags include...
- They help baby to stay at a constant temperature.
- Your baby can move around in the bag but still stay covered and cosy.
- They're convenient for night feeds.
- They mean that there's no need for additional covers that baby could kick off or get tangled up in.
- They promote good sleep and become a recognisable part of your baby's bedtime routine.
Three-stage baby sleepwear
At Tommee Tippee, our sleepwear range comes in three parts, and is either made using super soft cotton or a premium mix of bamboo fibres, cotton and ALOEKIND™.
Stage 1: Swaddle Bag
Available in 0-3 and 3-6 months, our newborn-friendly Swaddle Bag keeps your baby's arms tucked into their body as they sleep, helping them to feel safe and secure, just like they did in the womb! Swaddling reduces their startle reflex and prevents wakeups caused by wriggly arms. It also maintains a safe sleep temperature, so there's no need for blankets or sheets.
Getting your baby settled in their Swaddle Bag is easy. Open the zip from top-to-bottom, gently tuck in your baby's arms and fasten the zip from the top down around their feet. Your baby can be swaddled with their arms in, or you can let one, or both arms out to stretch when they're almost ready to transition to a Sleepbag.
When they need their nappy changed, just unzip the Swaddle Bag from the bottom for a fuss-free fresh nappy that won't disturb your baby.
Stage 2: Sleep Bag
Available in 6-18 and 18-36 months, our Sleep Bag makes the transition from swaddle to sleep suit super easy. It's made using the same premium fabrics that are kind to your baby's delicate skin and opens top-to-bottom (starting near their chin and finishing at their toes) to avoid irritation and mid-night escape missions!
Tommee Tippee Sleep Bags open flat, so you can just gently pop baby's arms through the holes so they can stretch out, while a signature Snugfit™ design promotes a 'frog-legged' sleeping position that supports healthy hip development as your baby grows.
Again, like the Swaddle Bag, our Sleep Bag unzips from the bottom for a nappy change that your baby will hardly notice!
Stage 3: Steppee
We know how it goes, one moment you're eagerly waiting for them to learn how to crawl, the next they're toddling around the house like a seasoned pro!
Our Steppee is made for children aged 6-36 months, and helps to make playtime and adventures before bed and in the morning a breeze. Just pop in both feet, then both arms, and zip down from their chin to their toes to get set for sleep time.
Nurturing your toddler's independence and encouraging them to jump, explore, and play when they're not snoozing, it has snug openings for their feet and fold-over foot covers with grippy, no-slip soles that are perfect for the chillier months of the year.
