Sleep bags and sacks are one of the safest ways to put baby down for a nap or at bedtime. When my son was a baby, I always used sleep sacks, with various weight fabrics for the different seasons. I like the looks of this Ergopouch Sleepbag.Made in Australia of quilted organic cotton with no pesticides or chemicals, the Ergopouch is hypoallergenic, perfect for baby’s sensitive skin. It adheres to all safety regulations. The seamless design of the Ergopouch moves with baby, as it fits snugly yet doesn’t allow baby to get tangled in the sack during sleep. Its double-ended zipper provides easy diaper changing access. It’s a bit steep at the price of $99.95 AUD (about $78 USD), but the manufacturer notes that, as babies spend most of their time in bed, they should do so in comfort, luxury, and safety. You can view the Ergopouch at StyledBaby.com.au, where if you purchase an Ergopouch right now, you can get a pair of Ergopyjamas at half price (use code “ergo” at checkout). They ship worldwide.

We are hooked on sleep bags at our house. I don’t feel like my baby is properly dressed at night without one. As the weather gets warmer, out trusty dusty Carter’s and Passport bags are getting too warm. Aden and Anais has a great reputation for its blankets and swaddlers, so when I saw that they make a lightweight muslin sleep bag, I had to know more. I discovered they make all kinds of fun prints (not surprising I guess, given their reputation and popularity with celebrity families). There are some great feminine prints, but my favorite is this gold fish print which is perfect for either a boy or girl. You can purchase one from the company’s Web site (adenandanais.com) for $29.95. I saw some cheaper prices online, but those stories had a more limited selection of prints. I know this is on our short list of things to buy this summer.

The Peke Moe is a unique sleep bag that is handmade in New Zealand. Available in either regular or summer weight, the bags are made from 100% cotton for comfort and safety. Designed by a team of a mother and daughters, the bags are perfect for babies who are outgrowing swaddling, but still enjoy being wrapped for sleep. The bag covers the child’s hands for warmth without limiting movement. It looks quite cute too, and would make a wonderful gift.

The Peke Moe is available in two sizes: small (0-7 months) and large (7-13 months). They retail for $38 and $39 US respectively. Right now the company is giving away three of these innovative sleep bags. You can enter to win one on their site at PekeMoe.co.nz.
