At first glance, a blanket may seem like the simplest solution for keeping your baby warm. But when it comes to infants, safety and consistent temperature matter most. A sleeping bag is designed to stay in place all night – keeping your baby warm without overheating. Here's why it’s a better choice, and how to pick the right one.
1. The Risks of Using a Blanket
- ❌ Baby may pull the blanket over their head – suffocation risk
- ❌ Can kick the blanket off and get cold
- ❌ Blanket shifts during sleep – temperature fluctuates
2. Benefits of a Sleeping Bag
- ✅ Always stays in place – no risk of uncovering
- ✅ Helps maintain a stable temperature throughout the night
- ✅ Safe – can't be pulled over the baby’s face
- ✅ Great for babies who move around in their sleep
3. How to Choose the Right Sleeping Bag
🔹 By Season
- Summer: lightweight bamboo or muslin for hot weather
- All-season: merino wool – naturally regulates body temperature
- Winter: insulated versions for cold nurseries or walks outside
🔹 By Style
- Classic: with closed bottom – ideal for small babies and nighttime sleep
- With legs: practical for older babies who crawl or walk
🔹 By Size
When choosing a size, remember that your baby’s head stays outside the sleeping bag. Don’t base the size on total body height. Instead, measure from shoulders to feet and check arm openings and chest width for a snug fit.
