How to use layers to keep my baby warm?
Compartir
The advantage of using sleeping bags is that they can remain attached to the baby's (or child's) body without uncovering important areas of the body such as the chest and back. An additional jacket provides a certain thickness that represents 1 or more additional layers of warmth, outside of the pajamas.
Bundling babies with layers is very common, as babies may be put to sleep overdressed and require fewer layers at night. In those cases, easier layers such as socks and pants are removed if they need to cool off in the early morning. These garments, if removed gently, do not wake the baby if he is in deep sleep. A tip: To check the baby's temperature, you should touch the back of the neck. Hands and feet are not indicators of cold, as they act as temperature regulators in case of excess heat in the baby's body inside.
Below we leave you a table that can be a guide on how to increase or decrease the layers under the sleeping bag if it is hotter or colder in the room, but remember that our bags are 100% cotton on the inside, so if it is not necessary to change the thickness of the bag, you can leave your baby's skin exposed inside the bag since it is 100% hypoallergenic:
Don't be fooled! Cotton is the only material that is 100% hypoallergenic with your baby's skin. If you find breakouts on your skin, it may be an indicator of heat suffocation or allergy to the chemicals contained in synthetic fibers. If you have any questions, always consult your pediatrician and give them complete information to rule out allergies due to fabric type. Breastfeeding is often punished when there are other external factors.
Follow your intuition.
