Determine the right baby sleeping bag size

You want to get the perfect Sleeping Bag for your little treasure but don’t know how to calculate the right size for a baby sleeping bag? We’ll explain what to watch 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:

Height - Head length + 10 cm = suitable sleeping bag size

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

Additionally, the fit around the chest should be snug to ensure safe baby sleep. Want to learn more about safe baby sleep?

Which sleeping bag size is suitable for newborns?

The appropriate 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 petite or born earlier than expected, Sterntaler also offers Sleeping Bags in size 44.
