What
is an ErgoPouch?
A baby sleeping bag is a unique cross
between
a baby blanket and a traditional baby sleeping bag. It has
the softness
and fabric weight of a traditional baby blanket, but the
construction
and comfort of a baby sleeping bag. It is developed with
stretch inserts
to allow the baby to move freely without getting tangled.
Using only
the finest materials, the ergopouch is highly breathable and
safe.
How
does a baby sleeping bag work?
You simply zip the bag up the front
ErgoPouch
is constructed with a clever upside down zipper that
discourages little
hands from unzipping the bag & allows for effortless
diaper changes
that don’t require undressing the baby!
Why
use a baby sleeping bag instead of baby blankets?
Baby sleeping bags provide the perfect
mix of
comfort, safety & convenience for both baby and
caregiver. Because
the baby is essentially wearing their blanket, you are
assured that
they are consistently warm and free from becoming entangled
in their
bedding. And when babies sleep longer and peacefully, so
does the
whole household! Additionally, ErgoPouch is designed to
safely replace
costly bedding, which makes it an exceptional value as well.
What
is a Tog Rating?
The British "T0G" value is the
international
standard measurement of all blankets' thermal effectiveness
(how well
it keeps you warm). The higher the number then the better a
blanket
keeps you warm. The TOG rating describes the warmth or
'Thermal Resistance'
of a fabric, and is widely used in the UK to describe warmth
levels
of duvets and sleeping bags. If the room is warm enough for
you to
be comfortable wearing light clothing (16 - 20°c) then it is
the
right temperature for your baby.
Handy
Tip- Your baby can't regulate her temperature in
her first
month, so dress her in one more layer than you and check her
temperature
by feeling the back of her neck with the back of your hand.
Why
are baby sleeping bags sleeveless? Won’t my baby get cold?
That's why we also sell ErgoPyjamas.
With warmer
arms than body, this allows you to control the babies
warmth. On
day where it may not be so cold the armholes allow for
free circulation
of air flow- something essential to prevent the dangerous
overheating
of your baby. Simply put your baby to bed in the
appropriate garment
for the season- winter blanket sleepers for cooler weather
or lightweight
pyjamas for summertime. ErgPouch is not a garment, but
simply complements
whatever type of garment your baby wears to bed by keeping
them
snuggly & warm all night long.
How
do I dress my baby when they wear a baby sleeping bag? How
can I
tell if they’re too hot or cold?
Nursery temperature and body heat
are the
best indicators to keep your baby comfortable while
wearing their
ErgoPouch. The optimal nursery temperature is
approximately 16-20
degrees° F. If you are able to keep your nursery
temperature
in this range, dressing your baby in the suitable
ergopyjamas will
be best. Reading the guidelines of our what
to wear chart will help you dress your baby before
bed. Please
remember that babies have immature circulatory systems, so
cool
fingers or toes are not a good way to gauge body
temperature. A
quick way to check if your child is comfortable is to
place your
hand underneath their clothing on their stomach or back.
If they
feel sweaty, remove a layer of clothing. If they feel
cold, add
a onesie or t-shirt.
How
many baby sleeping bags do I need?
We always recommend having two sleep
bags.
Many times babies have little accidents in the middle of
the night
and it’s handy to have a spare while the other is being
laundered.
