A baby sleeping bag, also known as a "turbulette," is a mini sleeping bag with straps or sleeves in which your baby will spend his or her first nights. The baby sleeping bag is the only item that guarantees your baby a safe night’s sleep and allows your baby to move freely during the night without becoming uncovered or catching cold. The sleeping bag keeps children warm without any risk of suffocation. It can be used from birth and up to 3 years old. Before the age of one, pillows, blankets, sheets, and bed linen should be avoided. Your baby simply needs to sleep in a sleeping bag, which will help him or her breathe easily while sleeping, without the risk of getting trapped under a blanket or pillow.
Make sure you choose a sleeping bag that fits your baby's size
From birth choose a model from 0 to 6 months, choose a 70 cm sleeping bag. For premature babies, it is necessary to choose a turbulette of 60 cm maximum so that the child does not feel lost in a sleeping bag too big. For a baby from 6 to 12 months, choose a sleeping bag of at least 90 cm. Some models are adjustable in length to suit the size of the child. These models are adjustable by a system of snap fasteners. These sleeping bags are available from 6 to 24 months.
Adapt the sleeping bag to the temperature of your baby's room
Remember that the baby room should ideally be at a temperature between 18°C and 19°C. Check often that your baby is not too hot, by putting your hand on his belly for example, but also by checking that his little hands are fresh, if his hands are warm it is because he is too hot, so you have to discover it, give him something to drink or turn down the heating. To choose a suitable sleeping bag in terms of heat, you can follow the TOG index. It is an indicator that allows you to choose the sleeping bag according to the season and the temperature in the baby's room. Even in winter it is not the same temperature in an old house as in an apartment. The higher the TOG index, the warmer the sleeping bag stays. In a room at 18-19°, with a bodysuit and cotton pyjamas, prefer a winter sleeping bag with a TOG2 rating. The TOG 0.5 index is reserved for summer sleeping bags, when the temperature is more in the range of 22-24°.
