The Summer Sleep Collection Questions, Answered

What should my baby wear to sleep in hot weather?

Work from the room temperature rather than the weather outside. Above 24°C, a short sleeve bodysuit on its own, or a nappy and a 0.5 TOG sleeping bag, is usually enough. Between 20 and 24°C, a short sleeve bodysuit with a 1.0 TOG bag works well. The most common mistake in a heatwave is adding layers because the room feels cool at bedtime, when the real risk overnight is overheating rather than being too cold.

Which TOG should I use on a hot night?

0.5 TOG for genuinely hot nights above 24°C, and 1.0 TOG for a typical UK summer between 20 and 24°C. We make sleeping bags in 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 TOG, and most families find a 1.0 and a 2.5 cover the whole year between them. UK bedrooms often stay warm long after the outside temperature drops, so check the room with a thermometer at bedtime rather than judging by how the evening feels.

Is bamboo good for hot weather?

Yes, which is the main reason we use it. Our sleepsuits and bodysuits are a 95% bamboo and 5% elastane blend. Bamboo is breathable and naturally thermo-regulating, so it moves moisture away from the skin and helps a baby stay comfortable rather than trapping heat the way some synthetics do. It is also hypoallergenic and soft, which matters in summer when skin is more prone to heat rash in the folds of the neck and knees.

How do I know if my baby is too hot?

Feel their chest or the back of their neck rather than their hands or feet, which run cooler than the rest of the body normally and are a poor guide. Skin that feels hot, damp or clammy means it is time to remove a layer. Other signs are flushed cheeks, rapid breathing and a general fretfulness that does not settle. The NHS recommends keeping the room between 16 and 20°C, though that is not always achievable in a UK summer.

How do I keep a nursery cool overnight?

Close curtains or blinds during the day to keep the sun out, which does more than anything you can do in the evening. Air the room once the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature. A fan helps if it circulates air around the room rather than blowing directly onto your baby. Keep the cot away from windows and radiators. Then dress for the temperature you actually measure at bedtime, and check again if you go to bed much later.
