Sleep sacks have a 'tog' rating; how do I choose the right tog for my baby based on the season?

Tog value shows a sleep sack's insulation level — how much warmth it provides. 0.5–1 tog is thin for summer, 2.5 tog is standard for winter, and 1–1.5 tog is ideal for between seasons.
Based on room temperature, roughly:
- 24°C and above → 0.5 tog (short-sleeve body suit is enough)
- 21–23°C → 1 tog (short or long-sleeve body suit)
- 18–20°C → 1.5 tog (long-sleeve body suit + light pajamas)
- 15–17°C → 2.5 tog (long-sleeve body suit + warm pajamas)
Important point: don't overdress your baby inside the sleep sack. Babies lose heat through their head; check the back of their neck to make sure they're not sweating. If room temperature varies overnight, keeping the tog slightly lower and adding a light layer is more flexible.
