Baby Safe Sleep Awareness Month

October 1st marks the first day of Baby Safe Sleep and SIDS Awareness Month. At Active Baby we want to take this time to spread awareness and help your little ones have safe, peaceful nights. 

What Is Baby Safe Sleep Month?

Baby Safe Sleep Month is an annual awareness campaign focused on preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related dangers by educating parents, caregivers, and communities on how to create the safest sleep environments possible.

Our Sleep Safe Checklist:

• Alone Is Safest: The safest way for your baby to sleep is alone. They should always be on their backs, in their own space with no blankets, toys, or pillows. 

• Safe Surface: Your baby’s mattress should be firm and flat with a fitted sheet only. We recommend Belan.J’s bamboo crib sheets, they are made of a bamboo rayon blend that is temperature regulating, hypoallergenic, and anti-bacterial.

• Safe Sleepwear: Having sleepwear that is breathable and lightweight is key to making sure your baby doesn’t overheat while they sleep. Belan.J’s bamboo sleepwear will keep your little one comfortable and temperature regulated. Plus, if you’re worried about your baby not being warm enough, we recommend their Sleep Sacks with the appropriate TOG rating for the nursery temperature. 

What Is A Sleep Sack?

A sleep sack is a wearable sack that will keep your little one warm at sleep time, no need for any loose blankets. It’s a sleeveless, zip-up sack that fits over your baby’s pajamas and allows them to move their legs and arms freely while staying comfortably covered all night.

Recommended by pediatricians as part of safe sleep practices, sleep sacks help reduce the risk of suffocation and overheating, making them a smart, stress-free choice for parents looking to create a safer sleep environment.

Depending on the temperature in your nursery, you can select the right TOG (Thermal Overall Grade), which determines how warm that sleep sack is. Remember, the higher the number, the warmer the sleep sack will be. 

Why Do We Recommend Belan.J?

We recommend Belan.J products for you and your baby because they make the best sleep sacks in Canada. These sleep sacks are buttery soft, breathable, and have a wider bottom than other brands to give your baby more leg room. Their clothing and sleep sacks are made of a Bamboo Rayon blend that will keep your baby comfortable, plus a range of other benefits:

• Temperature-regulating
• Moisture-wicking
• Anti-bacterial
• Anti-fungal
• Ultra soft
• Hypoallergenic
• Eco-friendly
• Free of harmful chemicals
