A baby sleeping bag is ultimately the safer alternative to a blanket and pad. It is particularly suitable for newborns, but also for toddlers, and provides maximum comfort and thermal protection. A sleeping bag ensures that the baby is always covered without being restricted in movement. In addition, a sleeping bag protects against overheating and hypothermia.
Excess heat should be dissipated through openings in the sleeping bag. In contrast, a sleeping bag helps to retain heat at low temperatures, prevents "trampling away" and thus protects against hypothermia. A sleeping bag is a safer alternative to blankets, as these can become wrapped around the baby's head due to too much movement, posing a risk of oxygen deprivation.
