what tog baby sleeping bag

A TOG rating is used to measure the warmth levels of baby sleeping bags and duvets. The TOG rating is a standard of measurement used by the textile industry to describe the warmth or "thermal resistance" of any given garment, including a baby sleeping bag. The higher the TOG rating, the warmer the sleeping bag keeps the baby. The TOG ratings for baby sleeping bags generally range from 0.5 to 3.5. A TOG value of 0.5 to 1.0 is suitable for temperatures of 75°F (24°C) or higher, while a 2.5 rated sleeping bag will retain a high amount of body heat and lock it in to keep the baby warm in cold homes that dont have much heating in the room or in chilly weather. It is recommended that babys sleeping bag be kept "lightweight" and be no more than 3.5 TOG rating. To figure out which TOG rating sleeping bag would be appropriate for a baby, simply figure out the temperature of the babys bedroom.
