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 sleepingbags 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 ...

Sleepingbags come with different tog ratings like quilts and duvets do. In the summer we use a 1tog and in the winter a 2.5tog. This ...
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 sleepingbag 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 SleepingBags.
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.
