Sleeping bags for baby

Every mother is familiar with the nighttime excitement for her child, be he a month, 1 year or five years, - but did he open up, did the blanket fall, did the child freeze? Such a useful invention, like a sleeping bag, helps to get rid of feelings about this. How to choose it, we will tell more.

Those who like to relax in nature, go to the forest with an overnight stay, know how comfortable and useful a sleeping bag can be. The children's bag allows you to give the crumbs the same feeling of comfort and warmth, even on cold winter nights in a badly heated apartment. Many parents in such extreme conditions prefer to furnish a child’s room with heaters that mercilessly dry the air and cause serious damage to the health of their son or daughter. Cool air, according to pediatricians, is much more useful, but the child should not be cold. Exit - buy or sew a sleeping baby bag.

The advantage is that no matter how the kid spins in his sleep (and there are very mobile children who spin not only during the day, but at night!), He will not be left without heat, the correctly selected bag does not hold down movements. You can take it on the road, on a trip, on a visit, so that your child can fall asleep more easily in unfamiliar surroundings. Some models are even equipped with special carrying bags, in which a sleeping bag can be compactly packed if necessary.

There is a constant temperature inside the bag all night long — this is useful. And when the baby starts to stand on its legs, the sleeping bag will save it from falling out of the bed, since it is much harder to get up when waking up, and even more so to throw your leg over the bed guard. Disadvantages can be seen only in models for newborns and babies up to 3 years old - such sleeping bags require the purchase of very high-quality diapers so that the bag does not get wet and does not get dirty. The baby in the bag is not too comfortable to change clothes at night if the diaper is overfilled or it is dirty. Moreover, not all children unconditionally accept the conditions of the game - some flatly refuse to sleep in a bag.

Sleeping bags for sleeping newborns can be with or without sleeves. It's a matter of taste. Some parents from childhood prefer to give the baby more freedom, others are fans of swaddling and do not want the child to wake himself up, waving his arms randomly. If you have to choose a sleeping bag as a gift, then you can take a warm version with sleeves that can be adjusted, so the little one will last longer. There are models in which the sleeves can be unfastened completely as needed.

Typically, sleeping bags for night sleep at home, manufacturers try to sew from natural fabrics that do not cause allergies when in contact with delicate baby skin. These are different types of knitwear and cotton. Warm winter models are often sewn with the addition of wool. For insulation can be used hypoallergenic sintepon.

Fasteners are made of high quality plastic, metal. In a good model of a proven manufacturer, accessories are given no less importance than the rest, because children will use this product. Designers show maximum imagination when creating sleeping bags for babies, so parents will be able to purchase not only ordinary plain bags, but also thematic ones: with cars, tanks and airplanes, with ships and sea spaces - for boys or with teddy bears, flowers Smileys - for girls. Designers demonstrate the greatest flight of fancy on models of bags for babies up to a year - not only rectangular classical models are sewn for them, but also figurine-tiger, shark, bear cub bags, etc.

Sleeping bag, if you think about it, can be used not only as an accessory for a night sleep. Some warm sleeping bags are a great outfit for a walk in the stroller. It is convenient and economical, because you do not need to buy separately overalls for the street.

There is no reason to worry about the state of the thing, because most sleeping bags, with the exception of knitted wool models, can be easily washed in an automatic machine using the delicate mode (water temperature not more than 40 degrees, with low-speed spinning). Drying a sleeping bag is also easy. Knitted models wash better by hand.

In the warm season under a sleeping bag you should not wear anything other than a T-shirt or a light undershirt made of natural fabric and a good, reliable diaper that won't let you down. If the apartment is cold, then in a bag you can send your baby in a pajamas or a body with a sleeve.

Choosing a bag for sleeping, you need to focus on the age of the child. Each age has its own dimensions.
