The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the use of sleep sacks after research concluded that up to 25% of SIDS deaths occurred after babies were found with their heads covered.

A Merino Kids baby sleep sack replaces loose bedding and fits snugly around your baby’s chest.  When baby moves, the contoured neckline ensures that fabric stays away from baby’s face and mouth area.  Since the sleep sack can be used for newborns, Merino Kids has added an extra safety feature of dome studs on the arm seam to prevent baby from slipping down into the sleep sack.

Merino truly is a magical fabric, since it is naturally fire resistant, regulates body temperature, reduces overheating and has a silk-like softness unlike any other natural fabric.

Since the natural fiber make up of merino fire resistant, the Merino Kids Baby Sleep Bag is rated low a fire risk and has not been treated with the fire repellant chemicals that are commonly used on polyester and cause irritation on baby’s skin.

Merino also has the ability to naturally regulate baby’s body temperature by wicking moisture away from the skin when temperatures rise and insulating baby by capturing and circulating air when room temperature drops.  Since a newborn baby’s ability to regulate their body temperature can take up to a year to fully develop, small increases or decreases in room temperature can cause disrupted sleep so a Merino Kids baby sleep sack is an important sleep accessory.

Unlike polyester fabrics, babies that sleep in merino are less likely to overheat.  Merino can prevent overheating by absorbing and releasing moisture up to 35% of it’s own weight, compared to polyester which is typically as low as 1%.

Merino is one-tenth of the thickness of a human hair, is super fine and has a silky feel that is gentle and non-itchy on your baby’s skin.

Since babies spend an average of 3,000 hours sleeping in their first six months, choosing the finest sleep sack is important.  Not only is it an investment in your baby’s comfort, it also provides piece of mind that you are dressing him in the finest sleep sack available.

There are many ways that you can reduce your baby’s risk of falling victim to SIDS, and choosing a high quality baby sleep sack that can regulate body temperature, fit snugly and does not cover the face is  important.

Ensure that both you and your baby get a good night’s sleep with the peace of mind that your baby isn’t too hot or too cold and that their head isn’t going to be covered by dressing your baby in a Merino Kids baby sleep sack.
