Fantastic Christmas gift ideas – Baby Sleeping Bags

I always struggle to know what to buy for babies at Christmas. I know from friends that parents don’t always appreciate the well meaning hordes of plastic toys that invade the house each December – often cheap and tacky, they just add clutter to homes! Therefore, this year I have conducted a mini survey among my friends with babies asking them what they would want for Christmas. The answer from most of them was sleep please!

Well, while sadly my expertise does not stretch to conjuring and bottling essence of sleep, I do have another idea which may well help aid more peaceful nights: The baby sleeping bag.

As anybody who knows me is well aware, I am an extremely keen advocate of baby sleeping bags – parents across Europe have been using them for years. Baby sleeping bags are widely being hailed as one of the safest sleeping methods for babies by parents and professionals alike and there is increasing amounts of scientific research being done to support this claim. 

The UK health department in particular has advised lying your baby to sleep on its back and making sure your baby does not become too hot during the night to help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The baby sleeping bag deals with both these requirements simply – by using a baby sleeping bag, and laying your baby to sleep on its back, the sleeping bag prevents the baby from rolling over in her sleep. Similarly, baby sleeping bags help maintain a constant temperature throughout the night as they keep air circulating throughout the sleeping bag.

Both these factors mean the baby is less likely to wake up as a result of being too hot, or alternatively being too cold having kicked its blankets off, which means less night time wake-up calls for tired parents and more sleep for all involved – voila the gift of sleep!

Available in a wide range of sizes, tog specifications (so you can choose the warmest baby sleeping bag for the season temperature) and a fantastically cute variety of designs and patterns, baby sleeping bags are both practical and fun, making them the perfect gift for Christmas.
