Merino Baby Sleep Bags

We have already described how infant sleep positioner helps with preventing SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, by keeping your baby on his or her back. Besides from sleep positioner, one sleeping product also comes in good use for eliminating some other SIDS risk factors -that is Merino Baby Sleep Bag.
Merino is a type of fabric, well known for its superb characteristics:
- it is considered the world’s finest natural fiber
- 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable
- no synthetics
- allergy safe (it is safe to use for babies with allergies, eczema and sensitive skin)
- can reduce the risk of SIDS.

Parents want their new baby to be healthy and safe and that they can feel comfortable putting him or her to sleep. A parent can not predict if SIDS is going to happen or not but can do everything to prevent it.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag is a good way to reduce the risk of SIDS. It promotes back sleeping, there are no blankets or sheets necessary in the baby’s crib, cot or bassinet and it can’t be kicked off. Baby sleep bags are worn right over a baby’s sleepwear or over a baby swaddle wrap.
Babies wiggle and wriggle around while they are sleeping and some SIDS deaths are the result of the baby’s blanket covering the baby’s face. Statistics show that some 25 % of SIDS babies are found with a blanket over their heads. Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bags won’t cover the baby’s face, give your baby the freedom to move naturally and represent a familiar ‘bed’ when the baby sleeps somewhere else.
Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag also reduces the risk of SIDS by helping babies from overheating. Newborns can’t properly regulate its own body temperature until they are one year old. Small variations in room temperature can cause a baby to overheat. In Merino Sleep Bag babies cannot get entangled or wriggle out and they do not wake uncovered and cold. This means your baby sleeps better as they stay cozy and warm all night without overheating.
Merino is made out of soft fabric laced with millions of tiny air pockets that trap air to insulate your baby when the temperature falls and releases body heat and moisture when the room temperature rises to cool your baby’s body throughout the night. Merino fiber breathes very well and is far more safer than synthetic fabrics. Tests conducted by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia showed that merino fabric absorbs perspiration somewhere in the range of 35 % its own weight and releases it into the air to help prevent your baby from overheating and waking up damp. Polyester has somewhere in the 1% moisture absorption rate and although it dries fast it will not stop your baby from overheating.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag is naturally fire resistant and is rated as a low fire risk. When exposed to flame it doesn’t melt and stick to skin like synthetic fabrics and will self extinguish without chemical fire retardant coating.

Recently the BSI (British Standards Institute) created a new standard to meet in regards to baby sleep bags which covers: chemical hazards, thermal hazards (overheating), entrapment, entanglement, choking, ingestion and suffocation hazards, structural integrity and flammability. The Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag was the first to meet the standard and the committee member mentioned that Merino Kids met the standard before it existed.
The Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag fits babies up to two years old and you won’t need to buy larger sizes every few months as your baby grows. It is machine washable and you can tumble-dry it on a low heat setting and it will keep its shape and color. Merino is naturally resistant to stains and odors so the Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag doesn’t require frequent washing if aired regularly.
If you want to secure your baby’s sleep and have a little piece of mind the Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag is the answer.
