Tommee Tippee Baby Sleep Bag for Newborn, The Original Grobag Snuggle, Soft Cotton-Rich Fabric, 0-4m, 0.2 Tog, Grey Marl

Having read good and bad reviews I was a little skeptical before buying. At the time my son was 59cm and 12lb 2oz even though he was only 8 weeks old. I therefore decided to order the larger 3-9 month bag, so we can get the most use out of it, which starts at 12lb. He has a large head, over the 90th centile so I was confident his head wouldn’t slip down. The reason I decided to go for these bags is my boy likes to be swaddled when he sleeps and still has a strong startle reflex but is getting too long for traditional swaddling with the lovely muslins I have.The bag itself is a nice neutral grey colour, it’s soft and fairly stretchy. The double zip feature is handy for nappy changes. When I 1st tried it on him it seemed massive and he wouldn’t settle but after washing it, only in a standard 30° wash and air drying it, it seems to be a more snug fit in the space of 5 days. He’s having his 1st nap now in it and seems very happy. I’m not sure how long it’ll last.Update 4 months later …My son is now almost 6 months and can still just about fit into this sleeping bag. I bought 2 in the end. They have continued to wash well, have remained soft but are always a bit snug when you first put them on after washing (like a pair of jeans). The swaddling function didn’t last very long, it’s not tight enough, especially if they’re used to a tight muslin swaddle. The arm holes are a nice size and have never felt too small or too big. He is now 70cm and 9kg (a big boy) and won’t be able to fit in them for much longer. I have found the size guide a little confusing, as according to the average 50th centile … a 9 month old baby boy would weigh 8.8kg and be 72cm long. Therefore this bag would never fit for the length of time tommee tippee advertise even for an average size boy, (I appreciate my boy is larger).I would still recommend them but be wary of the size guide, don’t just go by age and don’t get your hopes up on the swaddling helping your baby to sleep.

Our 3 month old broke free immediately from the swaddle mode. I was looking for a swaddle type thingy because she is still very restless at night. First of all, it is impossible to put a baby in this sleeping bag with her arms at her side. She is wriggling and the side zip just makes things even more difficult. Once I managed to pull the zip up, she had already managed to pull the arms out from the neck opening. I will try one arm out option, but it seems more obvious that this will be used as a regular sleeping bag.What I don't like in this type of sleeping bag is how tight it is around the chest and tummy. My baby suffers from eczema and if I put cream on her and put her in a tight sleeping bag, it just makes her more hot and more itchy. I preferred the old sleeping bag instead of this new hybrid.

We originally ordered this Grobag when it was owned by Gro and the 0-4m size fits fine. We ordered this as we needed more than one and the company has since been sold to Tommee Tippee and it comes up so much smaller! When zipped up it is snug on the neckline and it was rubbing on baby's neck and now his neck is sore. What I did like about this is that changing nappies was easy without having to take it all off and also keeps baby's arms from moving around. I would recommend but would go a size bigger.

I bought this for my 2 month old as it was getting too hot at night and this was the only 1 tog I could find. The arm holes are tiny. There are poppers are the side of the arms which we didn't need, as baby hated being swaddled so didn't use these. Neck hole was too small also, felt like it was cutting into babies neck. The shape of the bag is nice, but not practical for a baby who likes moving around. Zips up near neck but as its so tight, really does not look comfortable for baby! It fitted tight around our baby around the chest and front. Our baby isn't even on the big side! Was hoping for a super soft roomy sleep bag but got a super tight fitting one. Disappointed as bought two. Maybe the fact its called 'snuggle' means its meant for babies who like the swaddled feel.

I used the Tommee Tippee bags religiously for my baby until she was about 7 months old. I loved that they have the healthy hip shape and allowed my baby to have her legs in the natural froggy position. I also liked that there was a second zip to open up at the bottom which does make nappy changing easier. The swaddle function was also a big plus as I found my baby slept best when swaddled but would wriggle out of a blanket so the bag did work a treat.I have a few issues some which I realise now that I am using a different brand bag. Firstly they are so small made! Like so small. I know they are meant to be tight but they were getting hard to zip up on my baby waaaaay before the age limit was being reached. My baby is slightly bigger than average but not much. By 2 months she had grown out of the 0-4 months, by 5 months she had grown out of the 3-9 months and the 6-18 months was getting pretty tight when I stopped using them at 7 months, she's now 9 months and I doubt I could get her in it without worrying I was restricting her breathing.Secondly the zip coming around to the front, this creates two issues. My baby used to chew on the zip because she was teething and also thats what babies do this would result in the bag getting soaked. It was worse on the lighter togs as it would just go right through and need changed all the time. I also later realised that this is a potential choking hazard, it's not impossible that the zip won't break or come loose during the night while being chewed.I've now changed over to using Snuz bags. Much better for size and great for nappy changing. I would say the Tommee Tippee bag is great up until baby is no longer swaddling then I would recommend switching to a different bag with better fit and zip at the side.

It’s a shame my baby was born during summer time so I have not been using it much as it is very warm I love that it’s the perfect size for a new born not too big fits perfectly
