Determine the appropriate 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 explain what you should pay attention to and how you can 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 appropriate sleeping bag size for your child, you can use the following rule of thumb:

Body height - head length + 10 cm = appropriate 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 will slip into the sleeping bag with their head. So make sure that about a finger width fits between the neckline and the neck.

Additionally, the fit on the sides of the chest should be snug to ensure safe baby sleep. Do you want 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 and at the same time still offer enough freedom of movement for the little bundles of energy who like to kick at night.

These are merely size recommendations, as babies of the same age can naturally be different sizes. Therefore, always refer to the above formula for sleeping bags to determine the

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 are also larger or smaller. In some cases, it may also be that a larger newborn can already wear size 62, but this is less common. If a child is rather petite or born earlier than planned, Sterntaler also offers sleeping bags in size 44.
