How do I know if my child is ready for a sleeping bag?

A sleeping bag is ideal for babies who have outgrown the swaddling phase and are sleeping with their arms out, usually around 3 months old. This transition is often marked by milestones such as rolling and a reduction or disappearance of the startle reflex.

At this stage, your baby is ready to move from a swaddle to a sleeping bag. Loose blankets are not safe for babies at this age, so a TOG-rated wearable blanket (such as a sleeping bag) is essential for keeping them safe and comfortable while they sleep.

If your baby has started rolling but still fits our Cocoon Swaddle Bag, you can continue using this, as it allows for arms-out sleeping with the shoulder poppers open.

Once your baby reaches around 2-4 years old, they will typically transition to a regular blanket when moving to a big bed.

For babies transitioning from swaddling, we recommend our Sleeping Bag. This organic cotton and elastane bag is perfect for arms-out sleepers, offering the softness and stretch of a T-shirt with a slim, swaddle-like fit, making it ideal for your baby’s first sleeping bag after the swaddling stage.
