Which sleeping bag is the right one?

To reduce dangers during sleep, parents are now recommended to use a sleeping bag for their baby instead of pillows and blankets. Under blankets the child could wrap itself up unhappily and suffocate. In addition covers increase the risk of overheating and thus sudden infant death.

In order to use the advantages of a sleeping bag for the baby, it should fit the baby correctly. Because in a too large sleeping bag the child can slip down and gets no more air. The right size for the sleeping bag is given by the “formula”: body length – head length + 10cm. There are also sleeping bags for summer and winter, which are made of a lighter or thicker fabric.
