In 10 short years, the multi award winning grobag® Baby Sleep Bag has been responsible for changing the way that mums and dads put their babies to bed. No more kicked off covers, no more getting tangled up in loose bedding, and no more worries about slipping down under blankets, grobags® give babies and their parents a safe and peaceful night's sleep. Working closely with FSID (The UK's leading cot death research charity), every grobag® comes with a free nursery thermometer and comprehensive usage instructions.
Not just a cold weather product, grobag® has developed a sleeping system that means your baby will be safe and comfortable all year round. In 4 sizes, 3 different TOG's (warmth's) and a beautiful array of fabric's there is a grobag® baby sleeping bag for every child no mater what the weather from birth to 6 years. grobag® baby sleeping bags come in a wide variety of designs to suit boys and girls, as well as unisex versions. And all encompass one or more specific safety features, for example, zip guards on front zips and chemical free fire retardant polyester filling in 2.5TOG grobag® baby sleeping bags.
Advice for parents to reduce the risk of cot death:
• Cut smoking in pregnancy – fathers too! And don’t let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby.
• Place your baby on the back to sleep (and not on the front or side).
• Do not let your baby get too hot, and keep your baby’s head uncovered.
• Place your baby with their feet to the foot of the cot, to prevent them wriggling down under the covers, or use a Baby Sleep Bag.
• Never sleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair.
• The safest place for your baby to sleep is in a crib or cot in a room with you for the first six months.
• It’s especially dangerous for your baby to sleep in your bed if you (or your partner):
- are a smoker, even if you never smoke in bed or at home
- have been drinking alcohol
- take medication or drugs that make you drowsy
- feel very tired; or if your baby: - was born before 37 weeks
- weighed less than 2.5kg or 5½ lbs at birth.
• Don’t forget, accidents can happen: you might roll over in your sleep and suffocate your baby; or your baby could get caught between the wall and the bed, or could roll out of an adult bed and be injured.
• Settling your baby to sleep (day and night) with a dummy can reduce the risk of cot death, even if the dummy falls out while your baby is asleep.
• Breastfeed your baby. Establish breastfeeding before starting to use a dummy.
