Get The Perfect Sleep Sack for Your Baby With These Tips.

As a new parent, ensuring your baby sleeps safely and comfortably is a top priority, and sleep sacks might just become a part of your little one’s bedtime ritual! Sleep sacks are wearable blankets designed to keep babies and infants warm and safe while they sleep. They eliminate the risk of overheating or suffocation, which avoids the risk of SIDS, making sleep sacks a popular recommendation by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics).

Understanding Sleep Sack Sizes

Sleep sacks come in various sizes to accommodate babies of different ages, weights, and
lengths. It's essential to choose a sleep sack that fits your baby snugly without being too tight or too loose. The right size ensures comfort and safety during sleep. When selecting a size, follow the brand sizing information to make a fitting that aligns with the baby’s height, which means chin to toes!

Most brands, including Malabar Baby, offer sleep sacks in the following sizes:

Should your baby’s height fall at the upper end of the height requirements for a particular size it’s best to size up to ensure a comfortable fit and accommodate a bit of growth. The sleep sack should fit snugly around the neck and armholes without being too tight. There should be enough room for your baby to move their legs and hips comfortably. A properly fitting sleep sack allows your baby to sleep securely without the risk of slipping inside.

What does TOG mean?

TOG stands for ‘Thermal Overall Grade’, which measures the warmth of a sleep sack. The higher the TOG rating, the warmer the sleep sack will keep your baby. It's essential to choose the right TOG rating based on the room temperature to ensure your little one stays comfortable and safe throughout the night. Understanding TOG ratings can help you select the perfect sleep sack for your baby's needs, providing them with a cozy and secure sleeping environment.

Malabar Baby, for example, offers two types of sleep sacks (TOG 0.6 Lightweight for summers and TOG 2.2 Quilted for winters) both recommended by baby sleep consultants across the globe and awarded the Parent's Pick 2024 and 2025 Award.

● TOG 0.6: Ideal for warmer nights, keeping your baby snug without overheating.
● TOG 2.2: Perfect for cooler evenings, ensuring your little one stays warm and cozy.
