Folktails Organic Baby Sleep Bag

Everything we make is from organic cotton. Having worked in the textile industry for so long this was a no brainer for us!

• It is free from toxic chemicals, so is kinder to sensitive baby skin
• Our farmers use natural methods to grow cotton rather than fossil-fuel based fertilisers. This creates healthy soil which stores carbon and combats climate change
• Organic farmers use crop rotation and other skills to control pests and disease. Non-organic farming uses hazardous synthetic pesticides which can damage ecosystems and endanger workers
• Drinking water, rivers and lakes don't suffer from harmful run-off of toxic chemicals, so it's better for local people
• Organic cotton is always grown alongside other crops, allowing farmers to diversify to earn a better living and feed their families from their land

Baby Sleep Bags are recommended because they make bedtime simpler!

• Parent problem: Baby kicks off their blankets
  Sleep bag solution: A baby sleep bag is designed for your babies shape and size and can't be kicked off, so they stay comfortable all night long
  
• Parent problem: Baby could slip down under a blanket and suffocate
  Sleep bag solution: Our baby sleep bags are carefully designed with baby weight and head size ratios in mind. The neck openings are sized so that baby can't slip down inside or cover their face with their bedding
  
• Parent problem: I don't want my baby to overheat, but I'm not sure what to dress them in for sleep
  Sleep bag solution: Follow our simple what to wear guide and take all the guess work out of baby bedding. The tog rating is lab tested and makes it easy to know what your baby should wear to be comfortable, cosy and not too hot
  
• Parent problem: My baby struggles to settle after a feed or in an unfamiliar environment
  Sleep bag solution: Using a baby sleep bag gives a consistent bedtime experience. Whether it's going back into bed after a feed or settling in a travel cot keeping them in their baby sleep bag ensures they stay cosy and get the cue that it's time to nod off

Using a baby sleep bag is super simple!

Choose the right size based on your child's age and weight, and choose a tog based on your room temperature.

Wash at 40°, tumble dry on low

Make sure that your baby sleep bag is turned inside out and is fully zipped and poppered before putting in the washing machine- ideally with the zipper safely under the zip guard. This means the zipper head will be protected from the washing machine drum.

You can use a 40° machine wash or hand wash for all Folk & Thread products. It’s not necessary to wash baby products at a higher heat with modern washing detergents.

We do not recommend fabric conditioner for our products.

The best and most ecologically friendly way to dry your baby products is of course to let them dry on the washing line. However, that’s not always possible, so you can use an airer indoors in a warm, ventilated room. Just unzip the baby sleep bag and lay or hang it open.

It’s a good idea to turn the product during drying to ensure that both the lining, filling and outer fabrics are thoroughly dry before using again.

You can also tumble dry your products if you’re in a hurry, but please use a low setting to prevent damage to the fabric or the components of the product.

Do not iron 2.5 tog baby sleeping bags with wadded filling as the heat will change the structure and thermo properties of the filling. Our 0.5 and 1 tog sleeping bags can be ironed on a low heat avoiding the zipper and poppers.
