Bear in mind that current car seat safety advice is to avoid strapping babies and children into their car seats while wearing padded coats or suits, which might apply to the bulkier sleeping bags too. How do I keep a sleeping bag clean? Our All-Season sleepbag has been designed for arms out sleeping and should not be used as a swaddle. The poppers on the armholes (0-6m only) allow for fit adjustment for smaller babies to ensure a perfect fit, to keep baby safe and comfortable. Our sleepbags are slim fitting through the chest to enable full freedom of movement without restriction or excess bulk with a roomy, hip-healthy bottom. Make sure there aren't any itchy tags or zips inside the bag that could bug your baby and keep them from getting some good zzz's. With a variety of styles, functions and price points now available, which sleeping bags fulfil their promise of a peaceful night's sleep? Keep reading to find out which ones impressed us most. Newborn babies usually like to be swaddled over-arm. This gives them the secure feeling that they were used to in the womb, which can help them to settle to sleep better. You will probably find that anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks of age, your baby prefers to sleep with their arms out, but still with the nice comfortable wrap around their tummy. But all babies are different, and you will soon get to know what suits your little one best.It’s entirely possible, therefore, that you might buy more than one bag for different weather conditions – or you might decide to buy a lightweight model and put your baby in warmer nightwear underneath during the winter or choose a multi-season sleeping bag, such as the JoJo Maman Bebe Sleep Snuggler or the Superlove Merino. If you choose to swaddle your baby with their arms free as they get older, you may want to adjust their clothing. In the recommended nursery temperature of 61-68°F (16-20°C) we advise using a cotton long-sleeved sleepsuit or both a bodysuit and long-sleeved sleepsuit. The Gro Company’s products look undeniably premium but it’s their safety credentials which are truly impressive. Grobags have the Lullaby Trust seal of approval and were the inspiration for the current British safety guidelines. The company's side zip bag is its most popular and it’s not hard to see why. It’s designed to make night-time nappy changes easier and is perfect for young babies who have outgrown their swaddle. Pros Over 25 degrees, use a 0.5 tog sheet or muslin bag with a short-sleeved bodysuit. These are great for hot weather and summer vacations overseas. Little spillages can be sponged off, but it’s likely that your baby sleeping bag will need machine washing regularly. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions about washing temperatures and tumble drying.

Made from soft 100% cotton-rich, fluorescent-free fabric, our Swaddlebags are snuggly and kind on baby’s skin – perfect for a comfortable night’s sleep.

5. Best sleeping bag for tall babies - Marks & Spencer Pure Cotton Sleeping Bags

One thing that helped was writing out a 'cheat sheet '. It had 3 or 4 headings (something like Hot, Normal, Breezy and Cold) and I literally just wrote out what layers I'd need to dress her in. So cute example Hot = dress or romper, Cold =vest, onsie and jumper, and the others were somewhere in between. Keep it super simple and put it in the drawer with the baby's clothes and at least it'll stop you from over- thinking and hopefully help you get out of the house. All our Grobags are shaped for a slimmer profile over the chest and waist, which enables full freedom of movement, without restriction or excess bulk. The bottoms of our Grobags are roomy, to allow your baby to adopt the natural, hip healthy “frog legged” sleeping position.

The zip starts near the baby’s chin and finishes at their feet for improved comfort and reduced risk of skin irritation, as well as preventing baby from undoing the zip by themselves.Remember how frustrated babies don’t like being dressed and undressed? That goes for their sleeping bag too. On the whole, side zips are easier than central zips for getting the bag on and off a wriggly baby. The Jojo Maman ones which are like little padded suits are fantastic if you have a wriggler or baby who likes to walk in their sleeping bag. Really handy for the car as well. Bonus points for how comical the baby looks when they're walking around like a tiny Michelin man." (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user TerribleCustomerCervix) Our verdict
