Sleeping Bags

🌙Sleeping bags🌙

🌙I recommend the use of a sleeping bag until they are in a big bed for lots of reasons:

🌙eliminates the opportunity of them wriggling under their covers/blankets

🌙helps them feel secure

🌙is a good sleep association, when you put the sleeping bag on them as part of your nap/bedtime routine they know sleep is coming soon

🌙can help to prevent climbing out of the cot: if they are used to a sleeping bag from early on, they are less likely to even attempt to climb out

🌙it’s a nice next stage after the swaddle...swaddles should be removed when your baby starts moving more (4months at the latest)

*make sure you use the appropriate tog for the temperature*

*ensure the size is right for your baby, snug around the neck and arms so they can’t slip their heads down*
