Not sure what TOG sleep sack your baby actually needs tonight? You’re not alone. 🌙

---The Complete TOG Chart (Temperature + Clothing)
Why TOG Matters More Than You Think
Babies don’t regulate temperature like adults.
That means even a small difference—like using the wrong TOG—can lead to:
- Night sweating
- Frequent wake-ups
- Restless sleep
A Note on Safe Sleep
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies should sleep without loose blankets.
That’s why many parents use sleep sacks as a safer, more consistent alternative.
---Choosing the Right Fabric 🌿
Even within the same TOG, fabric makes a difference.
A breathable bamboo sleep sack helps release heat faster than thicker materials, making it ideal for warmer climates or babies who sleep hot.
👉 Shop 0.5 TOG bamboo sleep sacks
---Real-Life Scenarios (US Parents)
🌴 Florida / Texas (Warm Nights)
→ 0.5 TOG is usually best year-round
🌉 California (Mild Climate)
→ 0.5 TOG or 1.0 TOG depending on season
🏙️ AC Homes
→ Always go by room temp, not outdoor weather
Common Mistakes to Avoid
