Grobag baby sleeping bags are fantastic!

Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges
Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!

...The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night. Grobags are baby sleeping bags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt. So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc. The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

A snuggly sleeping bag

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Sleeping bags for babies are perhaps my favourite of the 'baby gadgets' I don't know what I'd do without ours so whoever invented them I am forever grateful! When babies are sleeping they are just like us adults, they toss and turn. but unlike us, they can't reach for their covers when they manage to throw them off or they can't get themselves back out from underneath them if they wiggle down under them. In the night we were forever getting up to put the blankets back around baby Hope or we would be forever checking that she hadn't managed to get underneath them. Now that it's getting cold again I would be worried that if she was able to kick her blankets off that she would be too cold in the night and would have to keep checking her again. Sleeping bags ensure that you don't need to keep checking on your baby for their covers as...

Bag it up

Advantages: Baby can't kick off the covers which means more sleep for parents - YIPPEE
Disadvantages: Quite hard to get hold of in High Street stores

...When my brother first gave me a baby sleeping bag as a gift when my son was about 3 months old I thought be was having a bit of a laugh - Sleeping bags, for babies, well it just seems odd. But it was the middle of Winter at the time and I was will to try anything to get a little more sleep. So come bedtime I bagged up my bundle of fun and laid him down in his cot and he slept like a babe, all night and from that day on I was converted. So mums I urge you get rid of those cot blankets this really is the way forward, they cant wriggle under them, they cant kick them off which mean baby is safe and happy so you can get on with whatever without worrying. When Sam was six months and with Summer approaching I visited the Grobag web site to get a bigger bag. They have an extensive range of varying fabrics and designs and diffent...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

Safe, Snug & Sleeping

Advantages: Baby Sleeps! You Sleep!
Disadvantages: They don't make them in adult sizes!

...in a Grobag. For those of you 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 of this excellent invention: · Your baby or child can wiggle and jiggle as much 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...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

A great little sleeping bag

Advantages: snuggly!
Disadvantages: it's made me want one!

...The grobag is a new kind of sleeping bag designed for babies/toddlers and I really don't know what I would do without them! My daughter is now 5 and we never had gro bags for her. We were always getting up in the night to check her blankets were tsill on her or that she hadn't managed to get them pulled up over her head or, as she got a little older, stuffed in her mouth and being munched on! With gro bags you simply just put your baby/toddler in them and use the poppers on the side to secure them over your babies shoulders- like you would with dungarees- and then just zip them in by the zip on the side! This then means that your baby can't wiggle down under the material, they can't kick them off in the middle of the night and so you can sleep wth peace of mind knwing that they are covered up and the same temperature you left them...

MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP!

Advantages: Security, comfort and aid to a bed time routine
Disadvantages: Not necessarily the way to a good nights sleep

...When a newborn baby arrives in your home you will try anything to get a good nights sleep. I would have quite happily handed over my life savings (£100!), four weeks after my daughter's birth to anyone willing to take over those bone numbingly exhausting night after night, night duties. At some point during those early weeks or possibly before you will probably have found your way onto the mailing list of the Grobag baby sleeping bag company, now called Bumps to 3. A bright little catalogue will fall through your door which when opened will promise you the earth if you put your baby in one of their specially designed Grobag Sleeping Bags. Being desperate, I ordered one and with it being the hottest summer on record last year I didn't get to use it properly until my baby was around 12 weeks old. It cost £29...

Review of Grobag Sleeping Bag

I will sleep if you put me in a Grobag

Advantages: Keeps Baby warm without the need for blankets
Disadvantages: The bags are expensive

...I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter reading about these bags that had been brought onto the market. They were like a baby sleeping bag which ensured that baby would be kept warm enough to sleep without the need for blankets! I decided it was a gimmick and never bothered. When my nephew was born my sister in law used them and I used to laugh at my nephew in it, but she always said that he slept in it no problem. When my son was about 10 weeks he kept wakening during the night as he liked to be swaddled and he kept kicking the covers off. We decided to go to John Lewis and have a look at these sleeping bags! We found them in the childrens department, next to the baby clothes! They had a range of designs. The smalled size they had was 0-6months and that cost £22! We got one. It was a to the moon one, which was...

Review of What's in my bag?

Dreaming of sleep

Advantages: Safe, comfortable sleeping environment for baby
Disadvantages: takes training as arms are free

...swaddling him.. in effect restraining him meant that he could sleep soundly and undisturbed, The sleeping bag I had bought went unused for some time. So why the panic... well, at around 4-5 months babies start to develop the ability to roll. If baby is wrapped up and cant get arms free, rolling can be potentially fatal. So many days were spent franticlaly trying to get my boy to sleep in his sleeping bag without success. Then one day, last Thursday, he just refused to be wrapped up and so I tried the sleeing bag once more... hey presto... success!!! All that worry is now over and he is sleeping soundly in his cot in his sleeping bag. So, the sleeping bags themselves: There are many different types on the market... I have grobags, which I think were the original and also mamas and papas dream pods. The idea...

Review of Dreampod Sleeping Bag

Bags of jiffy bag envelopes

Advantages: padds some fragile goods
Disadvantages: not suitable for glass

...I received a DVD in a jiffy bag recently opened the bag carefully and put the bag ready to reuse with about 20 other old jiffy bags I have ready for recycling. Actually I am not sure that all of them are genuine jiffy bags but they are the same sort of thing. Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s. Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available. The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents. Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated...
