Many parents tend to overdo it when dressing or covering their baby. In addition to the greater risk of thermal stress, a raised temperature also causes restlessness and sleeping problems. Material It makes no difference which material you buy for the nursery. Both natural and synthetic bedding is suitable for covering and dressing a baby.
If you know the TOG rating of the bedding and the room temperature, you can determine upfront if the baby is not put to bed too warmly. As every baby responds differently to covering and clothing, it is important to regularly check his neck and feet to see if he is still comfortable skin should not be clammy or cold. The weight of a blanket is also important with regards to thermal stress.
The heavier the blanket, the more thermal stress and the less sleeping comfort. The TOG rating of a sheet or a duvet cover are practically the same 0. Please note, these are simple guidelines and are not a perfect science. As with everything in parenting land, you will likely have to custom-tailor this guide to your own baby, depending on his or her preferences, metabolism, and current state. While some run cold at night, others run hot.
If it is warm, she is warm. If it is sweaty, she is too hot. If it is cold, she is too cold. When we say shirt and pants, we mean shirt and pants, bodysuit and pants, or one piece jammies, footed or not.

TOG is short for Thermal Overall Grades and it is an indicator for the insulation value of sleeping bags and blankets.
The higher the TOG-value, the more heat a product will hold. TOG value is a way to prevent overheating of babies and small children. In this chart you can see which TOG-value you can use at the highest with which temperature!
