Have you ever gone camping and found yourself woefully unprepared for how cold it gets at night? You shimmy as far as you can into your sleeping bag, try to think warm thoughts and seriously contemplate throwing on your filthy (and slightly smelly) clothes from the hike you went on earlier just for a bit of extra warmth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1458,"template":"","brand-taxonomy":[139],"product-taxonomy":[305],"class_list":["post-1412","brand-post","type-brand-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","brand-taxonomy-glow-dreaming","product-taxonomy-health-safety"],"acf":{"main_page_content":[{"acf_fc_layout":"first_layout","section_title_here":"","section_sidebar_title_here":"","section_content_here":"
Conversely, have you ever tried to sleep on one of those oppressively muggy nights when, despite having every window and door open and strategically placing a fan within spitting distance of the bed, it still feels like you are walking on the surface of the sun wearing a fleece?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve experienced either or both of these things then you know how hard, if not impossible, it is to fall and stay asleep.<\/p>\n
So, it won\u2019t come as a huge surprise to know that temperature plays a big role in how well your baby sleeps (or doesn\u2019t sleep, as the case may be.) The tricky part about babies is that they lack the verbal skills to let us know when they are too hot or cold. Babies are also unable to regulate their own body temperature, so as parents, we tend to spend a lot of time worrying if we\u2019ve over or underdressed them \u2013 especially in the beginning.<\/p>\n
It may sound a bit overwhelming, but there are a few things you can keep in mind \u2013 and on hand \u2013 to take the guesswork out of it all.<\/p>\n","select_product_all_section":"","add_quote_content_section":"","add_jw_video_shortcode_here":"","add_instagram_embed_code":"","add_pinterest_embed_code":"","add_youtube_embed_code":"","turn_off_sign_up_section":true,"turn_off_parent_with_confidence_section":true,"turn_off_review_section":true,"turn_off_hey_parents_section":true,"turn_off_third_left_banner_section":true,"turn_off_products_you_love_section":true,"turn_off_win_game_section":true,"turn_off_win_a_gift_voucher_section":true,"hide_and_show_button":"A"},{"acf_fc_layout":"first_layout","section_title_here":"Understanding TOG ratings","section_sidebar_title_here":"","section_content_here":"
TOG is an acronym for Thermal Overall Grade and it\u2019s a unit that measures the insulation and warmth of bedding and sleepwear. So, basically, if something with a low TOG rating will consist of lighter fabric something with a higher TOG rating will be exponentially cosier.<\/p>\n","select_product_all_section":"","add_quote_content_section":"","add_jw_video_shortcode_here":"","add_instagram_embed_code":"","add_pinterest_embed_code":"","add_youtube_embed_code":"","turn_off_sign_up_section":true,"turn_off_parent_with_confidence_section":true,"turn_off_review_section":true,"turn_off_hey_parents_section":true,"turn_off_third_left_banner_section":true,"turn_off_products_you_love_section":true,"turn_off_win_game_section":true,"turn_off_win_a_gift_voucher_section":true,"hide_and_show_button":"A"},{"acf_fc_layout":"first_layout","section_title_here":"Dress for success ","section_sidebar_title_here":"","section_content_here":"
The general rule for dressing your baby is to add one layer for them to that of what you are wearing yourself. Ideally, you want your baby\u2019s body temperature to be between 20 and 22.2 degrees celsius \u2013 when in doubt you can always use a thermometer to check you\u2019ve got it right until it just becomes second nature.<\/p>\n
When dressing your baby for the night, it\u2019s important to take into account sudden drops in temperature and compensate accordingly. So, for example, on a chilly winter\u2019s night, you might opt for a long-sleeved bodysuit under their onesie.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re using a sleeping bag or swaddle, be sure to select the thickness that is appropriate for the temperature of the room.<\/p>\n","select_product_all_section":"","add_quote_content_section":"","add_jw_video_shortcode_here":"","add_instagram_embed_code":"","add_pinterest_embed_code":"","add_youtube_embed_code":"","turn_off_sign_up_section":true,"turn_off_parent_with_confidence_section":true,"turn_off_review_section":true,"turn_off_hey_parents_section":true,"turn_off_third_left_banner_section":true,"turn_off_products_you_love_section":true,"turn_off_win_game_section":true,"turn_off_win_a_gift_voucher_section":true,"hide_and_show_button":"A"},{"acf_fc_layout":"first_layout","section_title_here":"Night moves ","section_sidebar_title_here":"","section_content_here":"
Baby sleep can be a bit like TikTok dance crazes \u2013 just when you think you\u2019ve mastered one, a different one blazes in and makes the first one irrelevant!<\/p>\n
If your baby is waking up in the night and it\u2019s not due to hunger or sickness, it could be because they are too hot or cold. The coldest part of the night is between 3am and 5am so if your little one is waking frequently at this time, cold temps could be the culprit.<\/p>\n
Using a smart device like the\u00a0Glow Dreaming Glow Perfect Sleep Sensor<\/a>\u00a0can be a total game-changer (and kind of make you feel more powerful than the Bureau of Meteorology!). Using smart sensor technology, the\u00a0Glow Perfect Sleep Sensor<\/a>\u00a0allows you to monitor the temperature in your child\u2019s room to ensure it is always optimised for comfort and sounder sleep. The sensor will let you know what TOG is best based on the conditions of the room, not the outside temperature, so you can dress your baby accordingly without performing arithmetic acrobatics. Even better, the sensor alerts you if the room temperature creeps out of the ideal zone so you can make the necessary adjustments to ensure your little one stays comfortable throughout the night.<\/p>\n","select_product_all_section":"","add_quote_content_section":"","add_jw_video_shortcode_here":"","add_instagram_embed_code":"","add_pinterest_embed_code":"","add_youtube_embed_code":"","turn_off_sign_up_section":true,"turn_off_parent_with_confidence_section":true,"turn_off_review_section":true,"turn_off_hey_parents_section":true,"turn_off_third_left_banner_section":true,"turn_off_products_you_love_section":true,"turn_off_win_game_section":true,"turn_off_win_a_gift_voucher_section":true,"hide_and_show_button":"A"},{"acf_fc_layout":"first_layout","section_title_here":"Winter is coming!
