What are baby sleep sacks?
Baby sleep sacks, or wearable blankets, offer the comfort and warmth of a traditional blanket without the possibility of it ending up over their head or tangled around their body. They’re also a great alternative to swaddling for babies who don’t like being wrapped up or have transitioned out of it. With access to their hands and a dwindling moro reflex, sleep sacks allow little ones to use their hands as a way to self-regulate. They also can help prevent wiggly babies from getting their legs stuck in the slats of the crib.
What should you look for in a sleep sack for baby?
According to Rachel Mitchell, Certified Sleep Specialist and founder of My Sweet Sleeper, the fabric, weight and breathability are most important. 100% organic cotton is most versatile across seasons, though fabrics like bamboo, wool and TENCEL are equally great for sensitive baby skin. When you start shopping around you’ll also notice something called the TOG rating. TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) is a standardized unit of measurement that calculates how much warmth a textile provides. The higher the rating, the more insulation. The lightest TOG rating for sleep sacks is generally around 0.5 which is perfect for summer sleeping while ratings up to 3.5 would be used for super cold climates or camping.
When it comes to sizing, each brand is different, so be sure to check the measurements. Ideally you babe has room to kick and move more freely but still be somewhat restricted.
