So, baby sleeping bags seem to come in tog ratings of either 2.5 or occasionally 3.5. Duvets come in tog ratings of 2.5 to 13.5.
I thought that babies were supposed to wear one layer more than I would wear? Our duvet is about 10 tog in the winter I think. So why am I supposed to put my baby in a sleeping bag of only 2.5 tog? Or, if using blankets, he should be in a room of between 16 and 20 degrees C with only two layers of cellular blankets and a sheet. When our bedroom is only 16 degrees it feels freezing and if I tried to sleep with only two layers of cellular blanket I'd be so cold I'd never get to sleep.
I am confused. I know that overheating a baby is dangerous but do babies need to wear more or less than I do?
