Sleep sack or blanket for baby?
⚡ Short answer: Sleep sack is safer than blanket (no face covering, lower SIDS risk); choose 1.0 tog for 21-23°C room, 2.5 tog for 18-20°C — check back of neck for warmth.

Sleep sack is safer than a blanket for your baby. Blankets can cover baby's face, cause overheating, and increase SIDS risk. A sleep sack keeps baby's head clear and maintains consistent warmth.
Tog selection based on room temperature:
- 24°C and above → 0.5 tog (very thin, usually for summer)
- 21–23°C → 1.0 tog (ideal room temperature range)
- 18–20°C → 2.5 tog (winter)
- 16–17°C → 3.5 tog (very cold spaces, may need extra layers)
Aiming for 20–22°C room temperature is ideal; with this, a 1.0 tog sleep sack is sufficient. You can check baby's warmth by touching the back of his neck — if it's sweating, remove a layer; if cool, add a layer.
