Keeping your baby snug during the colder months is essential - but it’s just as important to avoid overheating. Whether it’s a chilly night or a frosty day, finding the right balance of warmth and comfort helps your baby sleep safely and stay happy. Here’s how to keep your little one warm without compromising on safety.
Night-Time Warmth: Safe Winter Sleep Tips
On cold winter nights, it’s natural to want to wrap your baby up warm. However, overheating is a known risk factor for SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), so it’s crucial to keep your baby cosy and safe.
-
Keep the Room Between 16–20°C
Use a room thermometer to ensure the nursery stays within the safe temperature range. -
Use a Baby Sleeping Bag
A baby sleeping bag is one of the safest and most effective ways to keep your child warm without loose blankets, which can pose a risk. -
Choose the Right TOG Rating
For winter, a 3.5 TOG sleeping bag is ideal for room temperatures below 18°C. These bags are heavily padded and designed for colder conditions. -
Consider Long Sleeve Sleeping Bags
For extra warmth, opt for long sleeve sleeping bags that provide added insulation on chilly nights.

Keep the Cot Away from Radiators
Avoid placing your baby’s bed near heaters or direct heat sources. -
Check for Overheating
Feel your baby’s chest or the back of their neck — if the skin feels hot or clammy, remove a layer. (Don’t worry if hands and feet feel cool — that’s normal.)
Daytime Cosiness: Warmth with Flexibility
Keeping your child warm during the day doesn't mean restricting their movement. That’s where sleeping bags with feet come in.
-
Freedom to Move, Cosy on the Go
Sleeping bags with feet are perfect for toddlers who love to stay mobile. Their feet can pop in or out, offering warmth without limiting playtime. -
Detachable Sleeve Sleeping Bags
Our sleeping bags with feet and detachable sleeves offer customisable warmth. Remove or attach sleeves with easy press studs to suit changing temperatures. -
Layer with Sleepsuits and Bodysuits
Add a base layer using our long sleeve sleepsuits and bodysuits, ideal under sleeping bags during extra cold days or nights.
From night-time sleep to daytime play, the key to keeping your baby warm in winter is layering safely and using the right sleepwear. Choose sleeping bags with the correct TOG rating, monitor room temperature, and adapt layers based on how your baby feels.
Warm, safe, and snuggly - that’s winter comfort done right.
