Light sleep for warm nights: The spring/summer sleeping bag for babies
When temperatures rise, it's especially important that babies sleep comfortably and safely. A spring/summer sleeping bag offers just the right solution for warm nights – lightweight, breathable, yet protective.
Why a summer sleeping bag?
Babies can't regulate their body temperature as well as adults. A sleeping place that's too warm can quickly lead to overheating. A summer sleeping bag ensures that your baby doesn't overheat, but also doesn't get cold. It replaces loose blankets, which can be dangerous in a crib, while offering freedom of movement and security.
The most important features
A good spring/summer sleeping bag should have the following properties:
Lightweight material: Cotton, muslin, or bamboo fibers are particularly breathable.
Low TOG value: A TOG value of 0.5 to 1.0 is recommended for warm nights.
Comfortable cut: Enough room for kicking legs, but tight enough around the neck and arms to prevent the baby from slipping in.
Easy to use: A full-length zipper makes changing diapers easier at night.
What parents should consider
When purchasing a summer sleeping bag, parents should pay attention to the following points:
Appropriate size: The sleeping bag should fit the baby's body size – not too big, not too small.
Safety standards: Look for certifications such as OEKO-TEX® or GOTS.
Easy care: Machine-washable materials make everyday life easier.
