A fitted, hoodless arms-free sleeping bag in clear TOG ratings, from an Australian sleep brand.
MamaLoop mums pickWe researched this — not used by usNot sponsored
We researched sleeping bags against Red Nose's checklist — fitted neck and armholes, no hood, sized by weight and length, TOG matched to the room — and ergoPouch's bags tick each box. The 2.5 TOG suits rooms around 15–21 °C and the 1.0 TOG suits around 20–24 °C, so many Australian families end up with one of each. They're made from organic cotton blends, and Mumsnet's tester rated ergoPouch's fabric quality highly. Trade-offs: they're pricier than chain-store bags, and you'll buy new sizes as baby grows.
