The recipe for a perfect night’s sleep is something every new parent wants to master. A cosy sleep space, a calming bedtime routine, a trusted sleep aide and a secure sleepsuit/swaddle bag or sleeping bag are some of the ingredients you may find work for your little one. There are so many beautiful baby sleepsuit options out there so how do you know which one is right for your bub?
Allow the team at Mum Central to assist you with making this decision with our round-up of the best baby sleepsuits and baby sleeping bags of 2024. We’ve selected our top seven sleepsuits, sleeping bags, rompers and swaddle bags for infants, toddlers and preschoolers that will keep them safe, secure and sleeping soundly.
Baby Sleep Options
BABY SWADDLE BAGS: These are designed especially for infants 0-6 months and mimic the feeling on being snug as a bug in the womb. They are usually made from stretchy fabric and secure baby’s arms and body.
BABY SLEEPING BAGS: A baby sleeping bag is a wearable blanket with armholes and a neck opening. Normally sleeping bags won’t cover bub’s arms completely and babies can wear a romper underneath. These are great for infants and toddlers who have a tendency to kick their blankets off at night.
BABY SLEEPSUITS: Sleepsuits are a one-piece sleep sack with long sleeves and closed feet. They tend to have snap or zip closures along the front or down one leg to facilitate easy dressing and nappy changes and are ideal for toddlers who are walking or like to wiggle.
BABY JUMPSUITS: Similar to sleepsuits, baby jumpsuits, rompers or onesies are a one-piece item that can be worn with a sleeping bag or on their own. They are ideal for both day and night and come in a variety of fabrics.
Now, let’s Talk TOG Ratings
Before we share our picks for the best baby sleepsuits of 2024, we wanted to mention TOG Ratings. This is something you will hear a lot of when looking at baby sleeping bags but what does it mean?
TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade and it is a unit of measurement for insulation and warmth of sleepwear and bedding. The TOG rating allows you to correctly choose the right sleepwear based on the temperature or season.
The lower the TOG rating, the lighter the fabric. The higher the TOG rating, the more padded, insulated and snug the sleeping bag is for warmth.
- 0.2 TOG – for room temperature between 24°C and 27°C.
- 1.0 TOG – for room temperature between 20°C and 24°C.
- 2.5 TOG – for room temperature between 16°C and 20°C.
- 3.5 TOG – for room temperature below 16°C.

Set the stage for sleep
We know how important a good night’s sleep is for us, and this goes for our little ones too. It’s perfectly normal to obsess (slightly) over how much or how little your baby is sleeping and even to feel the need to compare sleep routines with other parents. One important thing to remember is that every baby is different. Some will sleep five hours at a time from day one and others will take months to master sleeping without needing constant cuddles.
