Have you ever put your baby down to sleep, thinking they’re perfectly dressed for sleep and then wonder why they’re waking up all night?
The truth is, your baby’s sleep outfit can quietly affect their sleep, from how long they sleep to how comfortable they feel.
Here’s what their outfit might be telling you:
Restless Nights = Too Many Layers
It’s easy to overdress, especially in spring when nights can feel unpredictable and you're wanting to keep your little one warm.
But too many layers can lead to:
- Overheating
- Sweating
- Frequent stirring
- Sudden wakeups
Many parents assume this is a sleep regression but sometimes, it can just be discomfort.
Our recommended solution:
Focus on fewer, breathable layers instead of piling on warmth. For instance, try:
- A Breathable Bamboo Sleeper (Footed or Footless for further flexibility and allowing your little ones feet to be open or covered)
- Paired with a 0.5 or 1.0 TOG Sleep Sack for that extra layer of safe comfort (check the temperature of the room to determine which TOG is best for your nursery setting)
This keeps your baby warm without trapping heat, keeping your little one's sleep breathable and comfortable.
Waking Up Cold = Too Light
On the opposite side, dressing your little one too lightly can also disrupt sleep.
Babies who are too cold may:
- Wake more frequently
- Curl up or feel tense
- Have cooler chest/back
- Have difficulty settling back to sleep
Our recommended solution:
Add warmth, but in a way that still allows movement and comfort. A similar combination to our solution for the above situation:
- A Long Sleeve Bamboo Sleeper. All our sleepers are long sleeve with smaller sizes allowing for fold over mitten cuffs to keep your little one's hands warm.
- With a 1.0 TOG or 2.5 TOG sleep sack (again depending on your room temperature, where the 2.5 TOG is better for cooler rooms)
