It’s 2024, and summer is in full swing. The nights are hot and long, and getting a good night's sleep can be challenging.
Put yourself in your baby's shoes for a second and imagine how difficult getting a good sleep must be - especially when babies struggle to keep their body temperature constant. Add to that everything else a baby goes through during this stage of life. Hard to imagine, right?
A great way to help keep your baby’s temperature constant and give them a little flexibility and freedom to move around when sleeping this summer is with a summer weight sleep sack or sleep suit.
At Merino & Me, our Woolbabe range of summer weight sleeping sacks and suits for babies is an adorable selection of Merino and cotton blended baby sleeping bags that will keep your baby comfortable in any climate.
So let’s talk about sleeping sacks and suits and see which is right for your baby this summer.
What Is A Summer Weight Sleeping Sack?
The summer weight sleeping sack is very similar to a regular sleep sack but varies slightly due to the lighter material used. In the summer months, a lightweight material that breathes and provides comfort during a summer night is perfect for babies.
Sleep sacks are an alternative to traditional blankets or bed sheets as the potential for suffocation or your baby being too hot during their sleep cycles increases. The baby sleeping bag is an all-around solution.
Choosing A Summer Weight Sleep Sack
If you’re thinking about a summer weight sleep sack for your baby, making sure it’s the right thing to help with your baby’s sleep is the most important thing to consider. When babies are snug and feel safe in bed, the likelihood of a good night’s sleep can make all the difference for babies (and parents).
What’s good about a sleeping sack is that its design keeps your baby’s face clear from any bedding to ensure they can breathe easily, and there’s no risk of your baby kicking their bedding off while asleep and getting cold.
There are many different materials to choose from when choosing a sleeping sack. We recommend merino wool or merino wool blend product over anything synthetic because it naturally helps your baby regulate its body temperature and helps to transfer sweat out if the baby gets too hot.
Not only is merino wool good for your baby, but being an organic product, it’s much better for the environment.

Why Buy A Merino & Me Summer Sleep Sack For Your Baby?
Not only are our baby sleeping bags comfortable and soft, but they are also perfect for babies with sensitive skin and other conditions like eczema. The thin layer of cotton and wool feels like a t-shirt and won’t leave your baby feeling uncomfortable or scratchy.
The combination of Merino wool and cotton offers the best of both worlds, providing a light cover for your child in warmer conditions. Merino wool responds well to changes in body temperature, keeps your baby at a constant temperature, and encourages everyone to have a good night's sleep. There are also no sheets or blankets to kick off while in a baby sleeping bag, so your baby won't wake up cold.
With merino wool being a comfy option for your baby, the comfort will help to create a positive association with sleep. So when you place your baby in the sleeping sack, that creates that mental cue for your baby that it’s time to rest.
Merino & Me Woolbabe sleeping bags are easy to take on and off. Our front-zip design sleeping sacks means they are less escape-proof and prone to babies wriggling out of them compared to other shoulder dome zip designs and more traditional bedding on the market.
