Baby Night Wakings: The Simple Fix | Video

Why watch this video?

In this video, discover one simple change that can help reduce frequent night wakings in babies: the material of the sleeping bag. Almost every baby sleeping bag on the market is filled with polyester, a plastic fibre that absorbs moisture poorly. When sweat stays trapped against a baby's skin, it creates a clammy, uncomfortable feeling that can lead to more frequent waking through the night. Natural materials like organic cotton and Swisswool, on the other hand, breathe and actively wick moisture away, helping to regulate your baby's body temperature more evenly overnight. This simple switch, from synthetic filling to breathable natural materials, can help reduce night sweating and the wake-ups that come with it. This video shows how changing the material of your baby's sleeping bag can make a real difference to calmer, more restful nights for both baby and parents.

In this video, you'll discover:

  • Why polyester filling can contribute to night sweating
  • How trapped moisture can lead to more frequent night wakings
  • Why breathable natural materials like organic cotton and Swisswool wick moisture away

Frequently asked questions

Why does my baby wake up so often at night?
Frequent night waking can have many causes. One possible cause is overheating from poorly breathable materials, which can lead to sweating and discomfort.

How does a breathable sleeping bag help with night sweating?
Materials like organic cotton and Swisswool absorb and wick away moisture, helping to regulate your baby's body temperature more evenly than synthetic fillings.

How can I tell if my baby is dressed too warmly?
Feel the back of your baby's neck. If it feels damp or sweaty, your baby is likely too warm and a lighter sleeping bag may help.
