sleepy time

There is nothing quite like the image of a sleepy or sleeping baby

all snuggled up in a babygrow

ready to go to bed.

The bedtime routine is my favourite time of day,

and not because the crazy is nearly over,

but because it's capped off by seeing my beautiful sleepy bubbas

ready to drift off to dreamland.

We've used sleeping bags with both our babies,

not in the earliest weeks when they are teeny

but from a few months old onwards they have been a part of that bedtime routine.

Bath, massage, PJs on, sleeping bag on, milk, story, bed.

So when Bubbaroo sent us a sleeping bag to try out

we were keen to give it a go.

Bubbaroo is an Australian brand 

who specialise in making sleeping bags and swaddling bags for smaller babies.

The Joey Swag is their sleeping bag

and it comes in a variety of sizes, tog weights and colours.

We were sent a pale pink sleeping bag in the heaviest 3.5tog weight

and I was impressed straight away with the fabric and finish of it.

The design has been thought about carefully

and the zip can be done up from either end,

which means that there isn't a chunky lump of zip near your baby's face,

It also has a zelcro opening in the back

which allows you to still put baby in a car seat or buggy while in the sleeping bag.

We have used this feature a couple of times when coming home late from my parents

and it's really useful.

The outside is a cool-to-the-touch cotton, 

and the inside is soft and snugly.

And most importantly of all,

as any parent of a baby will know,

the beautiful girl likes it.

And I know this because she sleeps brilliantly in it,

which is clearly her seal of approval.

We were sent this item free of charge for the purpose of this review

but all words, opinions and photos are my own.
