When the summer heat hits, the choice between a blanket and a sleeping bag is crucial to your baby's sleep. A sleeping bag provides not only comfort, but also safety because it prevents your little one from turning over on his or her tummy. In warm temperatures, a summer sleeping bag is the best choice for your baby or infant. These special sleeping bags are designed for comfort and made of materials such as tetra, cotton or jersey. These materials regulate temperature, keeping your little one from getting too hot or too cold. In addition, they are highly absorbent, breathable and do not feel not sticky to the touch, even if your little one sweats a little.
summer sleeping bag
or mid-season sleeping bag?
If you're unsure between a summer sleeping bag and an mid-season sleeping bag, then the TOG value is your guide. The TOG value stands for thermal resistance and indicates how warm the sleeping bag is in relation to the ambient temperature. It is a useful indication of comfort, depending on the room temperature. Here's a simple rule of thumb:
- Is it 24°C in the room? Then a light summer sleeping bag with up to 0.5 TOG is sufficient.
- Is it 22°C in the baby's room? Then it is best to choose for a sleeping bag with 1.0 TOG and light pajamas underneath.
