What they say:
“The four layers of 100% cotton muslin makes this a must-have to keep baby comfy and cosy, all year round. The breathable cotton muslin keeps baby comfortably warm and at the same time reduces the risk of overheating. Designed to be worn over pyjamas to eliminate loose blankets, these sleeping bags for baby help to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. Available in a variety of sizes, it's the perfect infant sleeping bag for babies who have outgrown swaddling or for toddlers. Due to pre-wash it's soft and gets softer wash after wash.”

It is a really lovely sleeping bag and is great for little babies who like to grab blankets and pull them off or kick them off at night and then wake a lot because they are cold. My little boy is a little pain for grabbing at the blanket and pulling it until it becomes loose and then has a habit of pulling them up to his face, he also kicks a lot and ends up kicking the blankets off. This kept him so snug and warm and it’s so soft he has slept through the night the last week wearing this.
How did this product make your life easier?
This made my life so much easier as it kept him so warm and snug he didn't wake at all during the night from being cold, but also put my mind to rest at night from worrying if he would pull his blankets on to his face. I slept better knowing he was safe, snug and secure in the sleeping bag.

It is so soft and fits perfectly, it has a beautiful design on it and every time you wash it, it gets softer and softer!
What changes would you make to this product?
I would maybe change the colours make them a little brighter or maybe use a cuter design. The only thing maybe that could be added would be a small hook of some sort to be able to hang the sleeping bag on the back of the bedroom door maybe.

I love the feeling of this sleep suit. As well as the beautiful colour, the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how soft it was. It is made of lovely material that felt lovely against my baby's skin. The colour was also different from anything that I had seen available, it is a deep pink/purple which didn't mark easy so looked very fresh. I would definitely recommend this to other mothers searching for a comfortable sleep suit for their little one.
How did this product make your life easier?
Easy to use at night as you don't have to take the whole suit off as it zips from the bottom. It is a lovely lightweight feeling and my baby definitely seemed to be able to sleep sounder as it was a good weight during the hot nights when I was reviewing the product as she didn't feel warm in the middle of the night so I didn't panic about her getting too warm.

The feeling of the material is different from any others I have seen and I have seen quite a few having looked about for a sleep suit for my baby. It really is lovely and soft and I think this makes it stand above any other sleep suits. The soft material really is lovely and I will definitely buy a new size when my baby grows out of this one. The block colour makes it feel clean and crisp and expensive looking.

I am struggling to think about how you could improve this product. It really is lovely. I asked my husband if he could think of anything and all he could come up with was zips that glow in the dark so that you could see them in the middle of the night without turning the light on - but that really is a bit of a silly recommendation :)

I have tried many sleeping bags of a similar tog rating but this one is by far my favourite. Being made from muslin, it is light yet cosy at the same time and so comfortable I want one for myself! It is a generous size so still fits well for larger babies as well as being practical for smaller ones. The length is good and there is still a way for his toes to go before they reach the end.
How did this product make your life easier?
I feel that I don't need to worry about how hot/cold my son is while wearing this as it's a middle range tog but so breathable that he's not too wrapped up. It's so soft that if baby needs comforting in the night, it's nice to snuggle and doesn't rustle so as to wake him when moving in his sleep. It washes well and dries quickly as you would expect from muslin, so can we washed and worn on the same day. The colour hasn't faded either.

I think if people are looking for a good quality and generous sized sleeping bag for their baby they should look no further. It keeps it's shape and colour even after numerous washes and is so comfy for the baby to sleep in, even at the minute when the room temperature can vary day to day. The stand out about this is the length of it as my baby is quite tall so most shop-bought bags have been on the shorter side but he was too little for the larger bags. This one is perfect for him.
What changes would you make to this product?
One little niggle is that it is advertised as pre-washed but my son woke up covered in blue fluff from the inside of the bag to the extent that he needed to have a bath to get it all off him! So would probably take that off the packaging so parents are more likely to wash it before use. I would possibly make them available in multi-packs with a thinner one as well, as then you would have everything that you need for a little while.
