How Many Sleeping Sacks Do I Need for My Baby?Updated 2 months ago
The number of sleep sacks you'll need for your baby depends on a few factors, such as how often you do laundry, the weather conditions in your area, and your baby’s growth. However, most parents find that having 3 to 4 sleep sacks is ideal. Here's why:
Backups for Laundry:
Babies often have accidents both day and night, and their sleep sacks can get dirty from spills, spit-ups, or other messes. Having 2 or 3 extra sleep sacks ensures you always have a clean one ready while the others are in the wash.
Weather Variations:
Different TOG ratings are designed for various temperatures, so having multiple sleep sacks allows you to adjust to changing weather conditions. For example, you might choose a lighter sleep sack 0.2 TOG for warmer months, a versatile 1.0 TOG for year-round use, and a thicker one 2.5 or 3.5 TOG for colder months.
Size Growth:
Babies grow quickly, so it’s a good idea to have a sleep sack in the next size up ready as your baby grows and needs more space.
In Summary:
We recommend having 3 to 4 sleep sacks: one in use, one or two in the wash/drying, one for a different temperature range, plus one for when your baby outgrows their current size. This setup ensures you're always prepared, and your baby stays comfortable and safe.
