Determine the right baby sleeping bag size

Would you like to get the perfect Sleeping Bag for your little one, but don’t know how to calculate the right size for a baby sleeping bag? We’ll explain what you should look out for and how to find the right sleeping bag for your baby in just a few steps!

Rule of thumb for the perfect baby sleeping bag

To find the right sleeping bag size for your child, you can use the following rule of thumb:

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

Another rule of thumb is that your baby should grow out of the Sleeping Bag, not grow into it. You should also make sure that the neckline of the baby Sleeping Bag is not too large. If the Sleeping Bag is too large for your child, there is a risk that your child could slip into it headfirst. So make sure that there is approximately one finger’s width of space between the neckline and the back of the neck.

In addition, 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 Sleeping Bags for babies are more or less 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 also like to kick around at night.

What sleeping bag size is suitable for newborns?

The appropriate Sleeping Bags size for newborns is generally size 50 or 56. However, in some cases, newborns may be larger or smaller. A larger newborn may already be able to wear size 62, but this is less common. If a child is rather petite or is born earlier than expected, Sterntaler also offers Sleeping Bags in size 44.
