• When your baby is ready to sleep arms free, its an easy transition with the Ergococoon.
• Start with one out first, then the other arm a week later.
• Some babies start transitioning at 2 months of age, in which case, by 2.5 months they can use it as a light weight (0.2TOG) sleeping bag or move into a warmer Ergopouch sleeping bag.

Baby will not overheat

• With only 1 layer of fabric at 0.2TOG you can regulate your babies temperature.
• For additional warmth, put a blanket on top, tucked safely into the sides of the bassinette.

About The TOG Rating Guide

• The British "T0G" value is the international standard measurement of all blankets' thermal effectiveness (how well it keeps you warm).
• The higher the number then the better a blanket keeps you warm.
• The TOG rating describes the warmth or 'Thermal Resistance' of a fabric, and is widely used in the UK to describe warmth levels of duvets and sleeping bags.

The Standard TOG Guide

• 0.5 Tog = best for 24c (75F) +
• 1.0 Tog= best for 21c-24c (68F-75F)
• 2.5 Tog=best for 18c -22c (65F-71F)
• 3.5 Tog=best for 16c- 20c (61F-69F)
