This week has felt like the middle of winter… runny noses, chest infection, the huge desire for comfort food and a reminder that my little girl’s room seems to enjoy making a cold night feel even colder! I’m sure it has its own micro-climate and isn’t it typical for the nursery to be the one room in the house that is either super hot in summer and super cold in winter. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do about changing rooms around, so instead we’ve had to come up with some easy ways to make it a lot more snug in there.
I thought I had the bedding situation sorted as I went extra big last winter when I stocked up on baby sleeping bags, but I was gutted to see that they are already to short for my toddler. My daughter is 18 months but she’s as tall as some 3-year-olds! So the hunt for another baby sleeping bag that would accommodate her longs legs began. I also wanted to see if there were any sleeping bags thicker than a 2.5 tog, as last year we ended putting blankets on top of the sleeping bag which I feel defeats the purpose.
The winner is a Slumbersac. I had a chuckle when I saw how long the Slumbersac is, but I’m very pleased that it has a good length on it. This is the only sleeping bag I’ve seen that I believe will last until the age it says it should on the label. The design allows you to fold the bottom half of the bag too, so that you can have it a little smaller while your baby grows into it. Plus, it’s extremely soft. I honestly wasn’t expecting to be wowed so much by a baby sleeping bag! I’ve got a 3.5 tog with sleeves which will be perfect for the depths of December and a lighter one for ‘autumn’.
I’m delighted to share she had a very restful night’s sleep in it and it’s already part of the family, as a few days after receiving it her winter bug came out in full force and she was sick all over the thing. On the plus side, I was able to test it in our washer and dryer and it came out the same size and softness! Thumbs up! I love finding good baby products!
