A sleeping bag for a baby makes sleeping nice and cozy

Are baby sleeping bags safe?

Yes, they are! A baby sleeping bag is safer than a loose blanket because it cannot slide over the baby's face, eliminating the risk of suffocation. The sleeping bag stays on even the most restless sleepers, keeping babies and toddlers safely warm throughout the night.

Safety of Myllymuksut Sleeping Bags:

• No cords, loose parts, or strings to tie.

• Carefully designed neckline prevents the baby from sliding inside the bag.

• Simple design provides a cozy, swaddle-like feel without being restrictive.

• Natural fibers maintain a steady temperature and prevent overheating.

A Sleeping Bag for Safe Sleep

A sleeping bag provides a steady temperature and a comfortable, secure sleeping environment. In a long-sleeved sleeping bag, babies settle down to sleep safely and quickly. When the temperature remains constant all night, it helps the baby sleep better.

Key benefits of using a sleeping bag:

• Temperature remains steady all night long.

• The baby cannot kick the covers off.

• Fewer wake-ups occur when body temperature doesn't fluctuate.

• Night feeds and diaper changes are easier.

Night feeding is comfortable with a sleeping bag, as the baby isn't disturbed by temperature changes when lifted from bed to breast. To make nightly nursing even easier, check out our selection of nightgowns, designed for maximum comfort in both material and fit.

At what age is a sleeping bag suitable?

A sleeping bag can be used from the newborn on. The duration of use depends on the baby's size and development. Generally, sleeping bags are suitable from birth through the toddler years.

We offer two sizes:

• 0–6 months: Sleeping bag for newborns.

• 6–18 months: Sleeping bag for babies and toddlers.

Merino Wool or Bamboo? How to choose the right material

All Myllymuksut knits are manufactured in Finland and are certified free of harmful substances. Natural fibers are particularly well-suited for newborns.

Merino Wool: Warm and breathable year-round

Merino wool is an excellent material for sleeping bags because it maintains steady warmth without causing perspiration. Breathable wool absorbs moisture and feels warm even if it gets damp. Did you know - if a diaper leaks slightly during the night, the wool absorbs the moisture while keeping the baby feeling comfortable!

The "Pehmo" Merino Sleeping Bag is perfect for:

• Winter babies.

• Cool homes.

• Naps in the stroller.

• Babies who catch chills easily.

Bamboo Knit: Lightweight and pleasant for summer

Bamboo is a soft, stretchy, and breathable material that feels silky against the skin. Temperature-regulating bamboo is perfect for warm summer days and higher indoor temperatures.

The "Nyytti" Bamboo Sleeping Bag is perfect for:

• Summer babies.

• Warm homes.

• Children with sensitive or atopic skin.

• Year-round use as a lightweight option.

Care Instructions

• Merino Wool: Air out frequently and wash rarely. Use a wool wash cycle at 30°C with wool-safe detergent. Do not tumble dry.

• Bamboo: Gentle wash at 40°C. Avoid heavy spinning. Do not tumble dry.

With proper care, the sleeping bag lasts a long time and can easily be passed down to siblings. We recommend storing merino wool products in a sealed plastic bag during the summer months.
