How to Choose the Perfect 2.5 Tog Sleep Sacks
As parents, we all want a safe, cozy, and comfortable night's sleep for our little one. A sleep sack can provide exactly that, but how do you know which one is best for your baby?
To find the perfect 2.5 tog sack for your baby, start with the right material. A fabric that is soft and gentle on your baby's skin should always be your priority. Our CloudBlend™ fabric is an excellent choice due to its softness and breathability.
The right type of fastener also plays an important role, especially as you're likely to have to conduct a diaper change operation during the night. Whether it's a snap or zipper, pick the one that makes life easiest for you and keeps your little one secure during the night.
You'll also need to consider sizing. Be sure that your chosen sleep sack is the right size for your little one. A sleep sack that is too small can be uncomfortable for your baby, and cause them to overheat during the night. But if it's too big, your infant may become tangled in the excess fabric.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the ideal age for using a 2.5 tog sleeping bag?
A 2.5 tog sleeping bag is recommended for babies around 3 to 12 months old. The reason being, younger infants may need warmer sleepwear in colder temperatures. Older babies on the other hand, may transition to lighter sleepwear as they become more active and better at controlling their body temperature.
Can I use a 2.5 tog sleeping bag in all seasons?
Generally speaking, a 2.5 tog sleeping bag is more suitable for cooler seasons such as autumn or winter. However, it's ideal for use in a cold snap at any time of the year.
How do I know if my baby is too hot or cold in a sleep sack?
If your baby feels warm to the touch, is breathing rapidly, is restless, can't fall asleep, is sweaty, or if their skin becomes red, they are likely overheating. On the contrary, if your baby is shivering, pale, and cold to the touch, your little one might be too cold.
How do I transition my baby out of using a sleep sack?
As your baby becomes more mobile, they may find a sleep sack too restrictive. At this point, you can introduce them to pajamas and/or blankets. While some recommend a blanket after 12 months of age, there is no set rule.
Are sleep sacks suitable for newborns?
Absolutely! You can use a sleep sack from day one. Just be sure to purchase the right-sized sleep sack for your little one.
