Knowing what to dress your baby in for bed can be a daily struggle. If they are too cold they will wake up and if they are too hot they will wake up. To help with this, many parents choose to dress their babies in sleeping bags. They are TOG rated, making it easier to keep bub snug at night without having to add extra blankets. So which is the best winter sleeping bag?

To help you figure that out, the Tell Me Baby community has rated the winter sleeping bags they’ve tried, and they’ve shared their opinions on what has, or hasn’t, worked for them.

Here are six winter sleeping bags the Tell Me Baby community loves. Each one has a rating of at least 4.3 stars out of 5 (click through to each pram’s page to see its current ratings).
