Common Sleep Bag Questions
What's a Sleep Bag?
The Cocoon Sleep Bag, also known as a sleep sack or a baby sleeping bag, is designed for safe sleeping while providing utmost comfort for your baby.
Loose swaddles and blankets can lead to blanket tangling or overheating, posing a sleep risk. Just like a cocoon, our sleep bag envelopes your baby in a secure, comforting way, and gives your little ones a snug feeling to help them sleep easy on their own, safely, throughout the night.
We chose a baby-soft, gentle, hypoallergenic bamboo jersey as the fabric is ultra breathable and temperature regulating. Once cocooned, this assures that your baby stays cool in the heat, or warm in the cold to keep them incredibly comfortable as they sleep through the night.
Are Sleep Bags aka Sleep Sacks a safer option than swaddles?
Most often, parents will choose to use a swaddle with their newborns. It is believed that newborns sleep so well in a swaddle because it reminds them of the snugness of the womb.
However, once a baby shows signs of rolling over on their own (which can be as early as two months), the swaddle is no longer the safest option. This is because if an infant rolls onto their stomach and is unable to use their arms to roll back, it increases the risk of suffocation. This is where sleep bags or sleep sacks come in handy.
Most parents start using sleep bags after their little ones have started to transition from the swaddle. Sleep bags allow your little one to move their arms and legs more freely while still somewhat restricting their mobility.
Sleep bags are also great for making sure babies stay warm while keeping loose blankets out of the crib to reduce the risk of suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS.
As your baby grows into toddlerhood, sleep bags are still considered a safe and practical option.
When should you stop using sleep bags?
Your baby’s comfort level with the sleep sack will play a role in how long they wear it. Some babies love the security of a wearable blanket and want to wear it as long as possible. Others, with their new found mobility, will be constantly trying to break free. If your baby is starting to seem uncomfortable in the sleep sack or fights putting it on in the first place, it might be time to consider transitioning to something else.
You’ll also want to look at it from a safety point of view. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends against using loose blankets in your child’s crib for the first year. With this in mind, many parents tend to use sleep sacks up at least until their child’s first birthday and some use it well into toddlerhood.
How do I know if my sleep bag is too tight or too loose?
A well fitting sleep bag should not be too loose, particularly around the neckline and arm holes. A sleep bag should fit snug, otherwise the baby could get lost in it as they wiggle. 2 fingers should fit between the bag and your baby's chest.The sleep bag should also be loose around the hips. Your baby’s legs and hips should be able to bend and move comfortably. If your baby is sweating, he or she is too warm. You need to remove the sleep bag.
What do babies wear under a sleep sack?
Under the Cocoon Sleep Bag, you can dress your baby in a short sleeve onesie, a long sleeve onesie, or a sleep suit, depending on your room temperature and baby’s temperature. Our Cocoon Sleep Bag is thin and breathable, with a 0.5 TOG rating. When checking your baby's temperature, their tummy and chest should feel warm and dry, not sweaty or cold.
What temperature is your sleep bag suitable for?
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Guide and the rating determines the thickness of the garment and how comfortably warm it keeps your little one. Our Cocoon Sleep Sacks have a 0.5 TOG rating and are suitable for wear with a sleep suit for room temperatures between 21-23°C, or a onesie for room temperatures between 24-27°C.
