Advantages: Baby Sleeps! You Sleep! Disadvantages: They don't make them in adult sizes!
...that have never heard of Grobag before, I shall give a brief description.
A Grobag is a baby sleeping bag. The baby or child actually wears this like an item of clothing. It has poppers or zips to fasten it up. It has head and arm holes (no sleeves). They come in a variety of different thickness (Togs) and different sizes.
For the uninitiated you’re probably wondering what is so special about the Grobag. Well here are just a few of the benefits ... ...as it likes and the Grobag won’t come off and leave your baby cold and likely to wake up
· Your baby and especially your toddler can wake up play, move around and then fall back to sleep without you having to worry that their blankets have fallen off and that they are getting cold
· There is less danger of your little one slipping down under the covers and helps your child maintain the recommended sleeping position of ‘feet to foot’.

...and I picked up a Grobag that was only £2! I only bought it because it was a bargain and I didn't actually think I would use it. I had never heard of them or seen them before. After I had washed it I stored it away, it didn't get used until one day when my son's blankets were being washed I put him into the Grobag and it fitted him snugly and he looked comfortable in it.

When our little Charlie arrived, we had everything mapped out. Until that is, we found ourselves adjusting to his needs, and not what was written in a text book. We were lucky enough to be given a lovely moses basket, which stood snugly on it's own stand.
