The Sleep Store Clothing & Sleepwear Guide - What to Dress Baby in at Night

Dressing your baby for bed can be a challenge, especially in when temperatures fluctuate overnight during Spring and Autumn. Read on for guidance on how to dress your baby for bed based on the temperature of their nursery and the tog rating of their sleeping bag.  

Whilst, the temperature guides below have been designed to assist you in dressing your baby for bed, they are a guide only and you should monitor the temperature of your baby. If your baby feels cold to the touch, add a layer. If your baby feels hot to the touch or they are red and sweaty, remove a layer.

What do the different Tog Ratings mean?

A Tog Rating measures the thermal efficiency (warmth & insulation) in fabric used for bedding and sleepwear. The higher the tog rating, the warmer the fabric. A 3.0 tog-rated sleeping bag or suit is a warm style, suitable for winter and room temperatures of around 16 - 20 degrees Celcius. A 0.2 tog-rated sleeping bag or suit is a lightweight style, suitable for summer with room temperatures of approximately 22 - 26+ degrees Celcius.

Please note that the World Health Organisation recommends that children do not sleep in rooms colder than 18 degrees, so we recommend using a heater on low if your children's room gets below 18 degrees.

Note: This is a guide only. It is important not to overheat your baby. The best guide is to consider whether the heating, bedding and clothing would add up to a comfortable sleeping temperature for you. The ideal room temperature for children is 18 to 20 degrees Celsius, with 18 degrees considered perfect! Please consult your medical professional for further advice if required.
