Baby sleep · room temperature · TOG
What should my baby wear to sleep tonight?
Use the room temperature to choose a TOG starting point, or check a sleeping bag you already have.

Quick safe-sleep check
Use the correct sleeping-bag size, keep the sleep space clear, do not use a hat indoors, and check the neck or upper back after your baby has settled.
Common questions
Does a higher TOG always mean better?
No. A higher TOG adds insulation and can be too warm for a warmer room.
Can I add a loose blanket?
Do not use loose bedding to compensate for a sleepwear setup. Follow recognised safe-sleep guidance and the sleeping-bag manufacturer.
How do I check comfort?
Check the neck or upper back rather than hands and feet, then reassess after your baby has settled.
