What is a sleeping bag?
A sleeping bag is a garment that the baby wears when sleeping/resting. It looks like pajamas with short or long sleeves and has a wide opening at the bottom. A sleeping bag can be used instead of a blanket or cover when your baby is sleeping.
Advantages of using a sleeping bag
+ A sleeping bag helps your baby maintain a good and even body temperature throughout the night. This is mainly because your baby can't kick it off.
+ You don't need to have any blanket or cover lying in the bed. This means you don't need to worry about your child getting tangled up and having the blanket over their face.
+ You don't need to worry about your child being cold.
+ A sleeping bag makes diaper changes easier. We have both sleeping bags with elastic at the bottom and those with a zipper at the front and snap buttons at the bottom so you don't have to wake your child when it's time for a diaper change.
+ It is easy to move freely, without, for example, a blanket getting in the way.
+ A sleeping bag contributes to a cozier and safer sleep time because the sleeping bag embraces your child.

What does TOG value mean?
TOG value is a unit of measurement used to describe the insulation level or heat efficiency of sleeping bags and quilts. This system is mainly used in countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The TOG value is measured in the unit "TOG" and ranges from 2 to 15 or more, with higher TOG values indicating better insulation and thus more warmth. Here is a general guide to understanding TOG values:
- Low TOG value (for example 1.0 TOG or lower): Suitable for warm and summer nights. These sleeping bags or quilts have less insulation and are suitable for warm climates or warm indoor environments.
- Medium TOG value (approximately 1.0 to 2.5 TOG): Suitable for spring and autumn when temperatures are mild to cool. These sleeping bags provide moderate insulation and warmth.
- High TOG value (3 TOG or higher): Ideal for cold winter months and cold climates. These sleeping bags or quilts offer a lot of insulation and warmth.
TOG value of Geggamojas sleeping bags
Our sleeping bags have a TOG value of 0.3 - 0.4. This means they are more like pajamas and are not insulating like a blanket. During the colder months, we recommend supplementing with a blanket or quilt.
For autumn and winter, we have sleeping bags with a TOG value of 2.
How long can a baby use a sleeping bag?
Geggamojas sleeping bags can be used by your baby from newborn until your child is 18 months old. During the baby's first year, we recommend that the child sleeps in a sleeping bag to reduce the risk of having the blanket over the face and head. A sleeping bag is perfect to use in the stroller, crib, or as an extra layer over a bodysuit and a pair of baby pants for extra warmth and a cozy feeling.
