HEAT ALARM
Hot, hot, hot. We aren’t the only ones affected by summery temperatures!
Getting the room temperature right in the nursery is essential to creating a safe sleep environment for your baby, and helping it sleep peacefully through the night.
We have a natural tendency to dress our little ones too hot or use too many covers at bedtime. That’s a risk though, because babies can't really regulate their body temperature. They can quickly get hyperthermia, which occurs when there is an imbalance between the baby’s body temperature and the room temperature. If your baby isn’t able to eliminate heat into the environment, its body temperature rises and hyperthermia occurs.
TOG recommendation: < 0.5
TOG values
Always match baby’s clothing to the nursery temperature.
TOG ratings help parents to choose the right sleeping bag or sleepwear for their little ones. TOG or Thermal Overall Grade is a measure of thermal insulation. The higher the TOG rating, the more effectively a material can trap warm air close to the body. All garments, sleeping bags and duvets have a TOG value.
To discover how to choose the right sleepwear for baby, check out our blog article “TOG ratings and temperature, what do I have to look for?” It includes TOG tables for children of all ages and for every sleeping bag.
When the weather is hot, it’s always best to opt for breathable fabrics such as Tencel or airy cotton.

INNOVATIVE FABRIC
Tencel supports body temperature regulation and absorbs moisture
Babies that sweat find it difficult to fall asleep and they tend to toss and turn all through the night, which means they aren’t getting the hours of sleep that are so essential to their development at that age. Tencel works wonders. It adapts to body temperature and fits snugly around your child's body like a second skin. Your baby will never be too hot or cold in this silky soft fabric.
Our Puckababy® Summer Swaddle Bag Tencel is made from 100% natural materials. The certified organic fibres are obtained from the renewable raw material of wood and manufactured in an environmentally friendly production process.

Safe swaddling with Puckababy – even on hot days
Swaddling baby tightly in thick or non-breathable fabrics significantly increases the risk of hyperthermia. The patented Puckababy® design means it’s never too tight. It embraces your baby like a snug little cocoon but stays loose around the arms and hips to allow room for movement. This space inside the bag ensures good air circulation for optimum heat regulation. Materials also play an important role in heat regulation. The Puckababy® swaddle bag is made from premium quality, breathable fabrics that are Oeko-Tex-certified and naturally free from harmful substances. A belly band on the inside keeps the baby snugly in place and prevents it from sliding down in the bag.
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK.
Better safe than sorry.
It’s really important to look in on your child regularly and use your hand to check their temperature. The best places to check if your little one is too hot or cold are on the back of the neck, on the feet or on the hands. They shouldn’t feel to damp or cold.
If you think your baby might by overheating, take off a layer of clothing or use a lighter bed cover. The weight of a blanket or duvet also affects heat regulation. The heavier the cover, the more heat is generated and the less comfortably you sleep. We recommend a well-fitting baby sleeping bag, either on its own or with a thin additional blanket. And a sleeping bag that adjusts to the ambient temperature is just perfect! It gives you the assurance that your baby always has the ideal sleeping temperature.
