What is TOG Rating?
TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) measures a garment’s warmth, guiding parents to choose suitable swaddles for varying temperatures, ensuring baby’s comfort and safety year-round․
Thermal Overall Grade (TOG) Explained
TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) is an industry standard measuring the warmth of clothing and bedding․ It helps determine the appropriate fabric weight for your baby’s comfort․ A lower TOG (e․g․, 0․5) is suitable for warmer environments, while higher ratings (e․g․, 2․0) are ideal for colder conditions․ The TOG scale ensures your baby isn’t too hot or cold, promoting safe and restful sleep․ Proper TOG selection, combined with room temperature and clothing layers, creates a balanced sleep environment for your little one․
Choosing the Right TOG for Different Seasons
Select a higher TOG for colder months (1․0-2․0) and a lower TOG for warmer seasons (0․5-1․0)․ This ensures your baby stays comfortable year-round․
Summer, Winter, and Transitional Seasons
For summer, opt for lightweight fabrics with a TOG rating of 0․5 to prevent overheating․ In winter, choose higher TOG ratings (1․0-2․0) for warmth․ Transitional seasons, like spring or fall, often require a medium TOG (1․0) to adapt to fluctuating temperatures․ Always consider the room temperature and your baby’s clothing when selecting the appropriate TOG․ Layering lightweight garments under the swaddle allows for easy adjustments․ Monitor your baby’s comfort by checking their chest or back, as hands and feet may feel cooler․ This balanced approach ensures your baby stays comfortable and safe across all seasons․
