Determine the right baby sleeping bag size

You want to get the perfect sleeping bag for your little treasure, but do not know how to calculate the right size for a baby sleeping bag? We explain what you should pay attention to and how you can find the suitable sleeping bag for your baby in just a few steps!

Rule of thumb for the perfect baby sleeping sack

To find the right sleeping bag size for your child, you can follow
this simple rule of thumb:

Body length - head length + 10 cm = suitable sleeping bag size

Another rule of thumb is that your baby should outgrow the sleeping sack and not grow into it. Also, you should ensure that the neck opening of the baby sleeping sack is not too large. If the sleeping sack is too big for your child, there is a risk that your child’s head could slip inside the sleeping sack. So make sure that about a finger’s width fits between the neck opening and the neck.

Additionally, the fit at the sides of the chest should be snug to ensure safe baby sleep. Would you like to learn more about safe baby sleep?

Most baby sleeping bags are rather pear-shaped. This is because a baby sleeping bag should fit close to the body while still providing enough freedom of movement for the little bundles of energy who like to kick around even at night.

For an overview of the different sizes for sleeping bags, you can also refer to the following table:

These are merely size recommendations, as babies of the same age can naturally vary in size. Therefore, always refer to the above formula for sleeping bags to determine the
individual size for your child.

Which sleeping bag size is suitable for newborns?

The suitable sleeping bag size for newborns is usually size 50 or 56. In some cases, however, newborns may be larger or smaller. Sometimes, a larger newborn may already be able to wear size 62, but this is less common. If a child is rather delicate or born earlier than expected, Sterntaler also offers sleeping bags in size 44.
