"When I got pregnant again, I don't know how many scans I had. I was there all the time. I was literally knocking on the door "can you check again?"'.

As the nights grow darker and colder, it’s natural to want to keep your baby warm. But remember if you’re using a baby sleeping bag or suit, you shouldn’t add extra blankets on top.👶

Baby sleeping bags are designed to help reduce the risks associated with loose, bulky bedding. If you're worried that your baby is too cold, you could instead add a layer of clothing underneath the sleeping bag or switch to one with a higher TOG rating.

Remember, it’s safer for your baby to be a little cool rather than too warm.

To check that they’re comfortable, feel your baby’s chest or the back of their neck. If they feel clammy or sweaty, these are signs they’re getting too hot, so remove a layer of clothing or adjust the sleeping bag tog.

Note: Carefully selected partnerships like this one with Love To Dream on their Stage Three range ensure the sustainability of our work and allow our impartial, evidence-based advice and support to remain accessible.
