Why Parents Are Choosing Sleep Sacks for Babies Over Traditional Blankets | Mama Luna Goods
New parents in Canada are always searching for ways to protect and comfort their babies. One simple change you can make today: switch from traditional blankets to a high-quality sleep Sack. Let’s look at why the Milk Snob Rocky Mountains Sleep Sack (0-6 months) is a top choice and how it can help your baby sleep safely and securely.
What Is a Sleep Sack & Why Is It Better Than Blankets?
A sleep sack, also called a wearable blanket, is designed to keep your baby warm and cozy without the risks that come with loose blankets. Experts like Health Canada warn that loose bedding increases the risks of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
When it comes to supporting safer sleep habits for babies, sleep sacks are increasingly becoming the go to choice for new parents. Unlike loose blankets that can bunch up or cover a baby's face, high quality sleep Sacks offer reliable warmth and coziness, without the risks. Sleep sacks are thoughtfully designed to create a consistent sleep environment, which helps babies settle faster and sleep deeper.
The Milk Snob Sleep Sack is made from a super-soft, breathable rayon blend and plush filling. Its hip-friendly shape allows natural kicking and wriggling, while the neckline and arm openings are designed to prevent the fabric from slipping near the baby's face.
The Benefits of Sleep Sacks for Parents with Newborns
- Safer sleep: No loose fabric, reducing chances of suffocation.
- Consistent comfort: Babies sleep better in familiar sleep environments.
- Easy routines: Slip your baby into their sleep Sack for bedtime or naps; they’ll recognize it’s time to relax.
- Easy gifting: Makes a perfect baby shower gift for new parents!
- Parent tip: Always follow fit guidelines. Necklines and armholes should be secure so the sleep Sack cannot slip over your baby's face.
Switching to a sleep sack isn’t just about convenience, it’s a meaningful way to promote safer, healthier sleep for your little one. They provide all night comfort and help establish calming bedtime routines. Over time, babies recognize their sleep Sack as a cue that it’s time to unwind and rest. This gentle consistency can lead to fewer bedtime struggles and more peaceful nights for everyone.
A sleep Sack also helps simplify parenting: when your baby is zipped in and cozy, you don’t have to worry about them kicking off covers or getting tangled up. Many parents find this peace of mind priceless.
Why TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) Rating Matters
TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) tells you how much heat a fabric retains. For most Canadian households, a 1.0 TOG sleep Sack is ideal, warm, but not too hot. It helps regulate your baby's temperature and ensures restful sleep. If your home tends to be warmer or colder, adjust clothing layers underneath.
