Sleep Safely and Soundly with a Transitional Sleep Sack 

Our transitional sleep sacks offer a secure and cozy sleep environment for your little one when it’s time to transition away from swaddling. Due to their sack-like design, these wearable blankets provide a soothing sense of comfort while allowing more movement than a swaddle. These sacks provide a snug fit around the torso while allowing room for the baby's arms, hips, and legs to move more freely, which is necessary for proper hip and muscle development. 

Our soft and breathable transitional sleep sacks are the perfect next step after swaddling, offering a cozy and comfortable environment for safe and sound sleep.

Understanding TOG Ratings for Sleep Sacks

A sleep sack’s TOG, or Thermal Overall Grade, indicates the thermal insulation or warmth of the wearable blanket. This rating system helps parents choose the right sleep sack for their baby based on the room temperature and season. A higher TOG rating will keep a baby warmer in cooler environments, while a lower TOG rating offers a lighter, cooler option for warmer climates. When buying a sleep sack for your little one, it’s important to understand TOG ratings to ensure optimal warmth, comfort, and safety during sleep. 

Cuddle Sprouts’ transitional sleep sacks are currently available in TOG 1.0, making them a versatile option throughout the year. Pair a sleep sack with a simple bodysuit in warmer weather or a footed sleeper for extra warmth during cooler nights.  

FAQ'S

A transitional sleep sack is another name for a baby sleep bag or baby sleeping sack. The word “transitional” is often used in reference to when parents are transitioning their baby away from using swaddle blankets and into a sleep sack. According to the AAP, this changeover should occur as soon as a baby starts showing signs of rolling.

There is no set age when a baby should transition out of a sleep sack. However, many toddlers swap their sleep sacks for loose blankets around the time they transition to a toddler bed. However, some toddler may still prefer to use their sleep sack. Ultimately, sleeping in a sleep sack is safe as long as it properly fits your child. If they outgrow their sleep sack, it’s time to move onto cozy blankets. 

Safely reminder: Babies should never sleep with loose blankets in a crib until they are over 1 year old. Until then, a Cuddle Sprouts sleep sack is a perfect way to keep them warm and cozy while they sleep.

Sleep sacks can be used for both naptime and bedtime, providing a soothing and cozy environment any time your baby sleeps. Using a sleep sack for naps helps maintain a consistent sleep environment and routine. Placing your baby in a sleep sack can let them know it’s time for rest, helping establish healthy sleep habits early on.
