May is Better Sleep Month for Adult, Baby and Toddler: How Get Your Baby or Toddler to Sleep
May is Better Sleep Month and the perfect time to focus on ensuring your baby or toddler is sleeping better and safer at night.
Sleep sacks sized for babies and toddlers can be helpful in ensuring that your child sleeps longer through the night. They are also a better alternative than sheets or comforters, which can be kicked off or pulled onto your child’s face while they are fast asleep. A baby sleeping sack will work directly over sleepwear and ensure that your child stays snug and warm during the night. A recent study conducted that 25% of SIDS victims were found with their heads covered, so the use of a sleep sack is a safer sleep alternative for your child. That one study alone is enough to convince parents to invest in the right sack.
When choosing your sack, make sure the neckline is contoured and will move when your child moves. That way, fabric will stay away from your child’s face and mouth area, ensuring a better and safer sleep. When possible, look for additional safety features such as safety dome studs underneath the arm seams, which prevent baby from slipping down into the sleep sack while he/she is sleeping.
Sleep sacks made out of natural fabrics such as merino and/or Pima cotton are best for your child. Merino is able to naturally regulate body temperature, reduce overheating and is naturally fire retardant so is outstanding for babies and toddlers. Dressing your child in a sleep sack made of merino will let your baby sleep better and safer throughout the night.
Children’s skin is sensitive and prone to allergies and/or irritation, so choose a sleep sack that has not been treated with fire repellent chemicals. Merino is a naturally fire resistant fiber, so merino will not cause any irritation. All sleep sacks made out of merino are rates low fire risk.
Young children are often unable to regulate their body temperature and can overheat at night. Merino is able to naturally regulate body temperature by removing moisture from your child’s skin when temperatures rise and will by capturing warmth when room temperature drops. Since small increases or decreases in room temperature can cause disrupted sleep for young children, a sleep sack made out of merino and is a must for better and safer sleep.
It is also able to absorb up to 35% of it’s own weight, compared to polyester which can be as low as 1%. Because of this, children that sleep in merino are less likely to overheat, meaning safer and better sleep for little ones.
Sleep should not only be better, it should be safer for our little ones. By dressing your child in a Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your baby will not be too hot or cold, or that their head may become covered during sleep. For Better Sleep Month, a merino sleep sqck like the one from Merino Kids is essential for both you and your little one.
