Expert baby sleeping bag advice featuring Bambino Merino

The experts at Practical Parenting magazine have published their guide to baby sleeping bags in the latest issue (August).   The five step checklist starts by making sure you have the right weight sleeping bag and suggests readers try a Bambino Merino baby sleeping bag.  They say “a bag made from merino wool won’t have a tog rating but will naturally regulate your baby’s temperature – keeping her cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cold.”

It was sunny with a light breeze so they were just right in their lightweight merino tops. We love the simple designs and naturally stain-resistant merino – the ice cream drips just wiped straight off!
