Buying a baby sleeping bag – what to consider?
To find the optimal sleeping bag for your little one, you should consider various criteria that we have listed once for orientation:
● TOG value
● Size
● Material
● Functions
Suitable TOG value:
The so-called TOG value (from English: Thermal Overall Grade) is a unit of measurement that indicates the thermal resistance of textiles: The higher the TOG value of the sleeping bag, the warmer the sleeping bag:
● winter sleeping bags typically have TOG values between 2–3.5 TOG,
● while summer sleeping bags have values between 0.5–1.5 TOG.
Which TOG value is ideal depends on the season and especially on the room temperature at which your baby sleeps. For relaxed baby sleep, a room temperature between 16 and 18 degrees is considered optimal for the sleeping environment. Detailed information can be found in our guide article “What is the TOG value?”.
The correct size of the baby sleeping bag:
Whether all-season sleeping bag, summer or winter sleeping bag – the baby sleeping bag size is and remains one of the most important criteria. Depending on the shape of the baby sleeping bag, the correct size of the sleeping bag is determined differently:
● pear-shaped
For many babies, a pear-shaped cut is ideal, which offers enough freedom of movement for the legs and feet at the bottom, but still fits close to the body. You can remember the following rule of thumb for a pear-shaped baby sleeping bag:
● with feet
If your little adventurer can already walk and wants to crawl out of the crib independently after sleeping, then a sleeping bag with feet and plenty of legroom is perfect. Here the rule of thumb for size determination is even simpler:
For both types, however, the neck opening should be large enough so that the head cannot slip through the neck opening.
Our tip: In our range, we also offer grow-with-you baby sleeping bags that can easily accommodate a size increase of a few centimeters. Using snap buttons located on the shoulders, the models can be adjusted to two sizes.

The right material for the baby sleeping bag:
Warm, soft and cozy – that is the perfect combination for a sleeping bag in which your little treasure feels completely comfortable. Therefore, sleeping bags made of skin-friendly cotton are especially recommended. Some of our Sterntaler sleeping bags are additionally equipped with HYDROCOOL® microfibers in the lining:
● In summer, they ensure a pleasantly dry skin feeling in the sleeping bag by absorbing excess moisture and wicking it away from the body;
● In winter, the lining works the opposite way and keeps your baby comfortably warm.
In addition to cozy, padded cotton sleeping bags, inner sleeping bags that can simply be worn inside the sleeping bag are also popular.

A baby sleeping bag for safe sleep
What do babies or toddlers sleep best in? Many expectant and new parents ask themselves this question. Does it have to be a sleeping bag for the child, or is a blanket also sufficient?
The big disadvantage of a simple blanket is, on the one hand, that the little ones can kick off their legs at night and the blanket slips away through kicking – the child starts to freeze in the crib and could wake up. On the other hand, the blanket could cover the face of the baby and lead to overheating. Because babies cannot regulate their body temperature independently in the first months of life.
A baby sleeping bag, on the other hand, offers your little treasure security and is also recommended for the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome. Your baby can kick to their heart's content without the sleeping bag slipping or accidentally being pulled over the head. The spatial limitation of the sleeping bag – which is still familiar to the little one from the womb – also gives your darling a feeling of security. Additionally, babies lie on their backs in the sleeping bag, which is very important for free and safe breathing in newborns.
