When a new child is first brought home from the hospital there are many concerns on the new parents mind. One of the biggest concerns is making sure that the baby is comfortable in its new environment, and the most important part of this environment is the baby’s bedding during the night hours when the child is unsupervised. On average a newborn can sleep up-to 18 hours everyday. There is a form of functional bedding that can reduce some of the concerns about keeping the baby safe during the all important night hours.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can weigh heavily on the mind of any new parent. Cases still remain where there is no explanation for the death, yet some causes are known. One recent study shows 25% of babies are found with blankets covering their faces. A sleep sack will almost entirely eliminate the chance that the child’s face will be covered while moving around during sleep. Blankets covering a child’s face cannot only contribute to suffocation but also to overheating.
One of the many known culprits in SIDS cases is overheating. A newborn child can take up to a year to develop the ability to control its own body temperature so small fluctuations in heat can have a huge effect on the child’s core body temperature and the baby can either wake up cold or even worse get over heated and risk SIDS. The best bet for helping a child control its body temperature is putting it to sleep wearing merino. Merino has a natural ability to not only capture and circulate heat to insulate the baby’s body, but also release excess heat and wick moisture from the body when temperatures rise.
The best combination to prevent suffocation and over heating is a merino fabric baby sleep sack. The merino sleep sack will reduce some of the risks associated with SIDS. In most cases this is the piece of mind parents need when putting their children down to sleep.

Constructed with the softest merino interior and soft durable cotton exterior it guaranties a good night sleep for not only the child but also the parents as they are given piece of mind when it comes concerns surrounding SIDS.
