Progressing from a Baby Sleeping Bag

Over 95% of parents in the UK now choose to put their baby to bed in a sleeping bag. Parents recognise the benefits of their baby feeling secure, comforted and remaining at a constant temperature. By simply putting your baby into his sleep sack he is ready for bed without all the fuss of conventional blankets and sheets.
 
However once your child starts to develop into a toddler (from about 1yrs old) and the move from their cot into a first bed comes ever closer parents can find themselves back at square one with disrupted sleep patterns all over again. Not only do children pick up on their parent’s anxiety, they are developing and learning new things every day. Toddlers often display a fearsome strength of character and are keen to become ‘big boys or girls’. They may be learning to walk, to talk, and begin potty training and therefore the transition into a big bed can play a major role in this development. Some children do struggle with a change of environment and like familiarity and many children are reluctant to give up the comfort of their sleeping bag, but no longer want to be treated as, or viewed as a baby. Toddlers can be very wriggly sleepers so conventional bedding ends up on the floor, and your child will wake up cold. By using a specialist toddler sleeping bag, like the toddler Snuggle Sac, your little one can be rewarded with something wonderfully cosy, comforting yet different to a baby sleeping bag.
 
Toddler Snuggle Sacs are the sleeping bag recommended by The Children’s Sleep Charity, to follow on from a baby sleep sack as they combine the appeal of a favourite teddy bear, the security of a sleeping bag and the cosiness of a comfort blanket. The designs are deliberately taken from the older child size Snuggle Sacs to help the toddler feel more independent and grown up. However the toddler size Sacs are designed to fit onto a cot bed size mattress (160cm x 50cm) and with their lovely soft 100% cotton linings they will provide just the right familiarity to your young child.
 
Many children older than three love sleeping in a sleeping bag, so Snuggle Sacs (next size up) are the recommended choice. The designs are really fun, they come with a free tote bag and your child won’t be embarrassed to take them anywhere. There are even adult size Snuggle Sacs now too!
