Useful Tips

• Don't use any blankets or duvets over the sleeping bag. This can cause overheating or pose suffocation risks.⁠
• Dress your little one in light, breathable clothing under the sleeping bag. Avoid overdressing to prevent overheating.⁣⁣⁣⁠
• Check regularly to make sure your baby isn't too hot or too cold by feeling their chest or back – hands and feet might be chilly, but that's normal.
• Having a thermometer handy is always a good idea!
