Baby sleep sack how many cm should it be?
⚡ Short answer: Baby sleep sack length should be approximately 10-15 cm more than the measurement from baby's shoulder to foot sole, shoulder straps should sit exactly at shoulder level, and it should be neither too loose nor too tight so baby doesn't slip inside.

It depends on baby's length and weight, but to give a general guide: sleep sack length should be approximately 10-15 cm more than the measurement from baby's shoulder to foot sole—so baby can move their legs freely inside but can't pull their head into it.
Practical measure: when you put baby in the sleep sack, if the shoulder straps sit exactly at shoulder level and the bottom of the sack doesn't press on baby's feet, the size is right. Oversized sacks risk baby slipping inside or covering their face—that's the actual risk, not being too small.
I don't know what your mother-in-law said but the most reliable reference is the size/weight table on the product and your baby's current measurements. Use whichever makes more sense to you, and if unsure you can also double-check by consulting a pediatrician.
