The tommee tippee gro bag 0-3 fits a new born if they’re over 7 pound! They actually come up quite small. I used a cellular blanket for the first couple weeks then when he fit into the bags I used them. So much easy at night to lay them back down rather than having to tuck the blanket in & it wakes them up! I would just use cellular blankets first and maybe use a knitted one for outings in the pram. As you also have to think about if they might get too hot in their sleep! X
We used the love to dream sleep bags from newborn :) so much less stressful not having to worry about blankets over the face etc x
My little one was in a sleep bag from about day 3, he didn’t like being swaddled because he’s a hands up baby so I went by my judgment 🩵
@Carmen Jamie we loved these grow bags!! We used them from the start as lo was 8 lb
I had no luck settling the baby in a cellular blanket. After a couple of weeks of no sleep we went for a sleeping bag. We used the sweet dreamers one first. It’s quite small and really cosy. Arms in for a few weeks but then realised he slept fine with arms out and it worked better for breastfeeding
The grow bags were a life saver for me! My little one startled a lot as a newborn and it was amazing on her sleep not having those jerking motions waking her up.
it will all depend on the pattern and stitches, something knitted with big gaps and a light yarn will be a lot cooler than something double knitted with no holes etc. if you have a cellular blanket use that instead ☺️
