How to Style and Set Up Your Baby's Crib Setting up your baby's crib is one of the most exciting tasks when preparing the nursery. With the right essentials, you can create a safe and cozy sleep space for your little one. From soft sleeping bags to practical muslin cloths—Jollein has everything you need. Read on to find out how to make your baby’s bed both beautiful and safe! How to Make the Crib Safe and Comfortable A good night’s sleep starts with a well-made crib. Follow these simple steps to ensure your baby sleeps safely and soundly: 1. Use a Properly Fitting Mattress Make sure the mattress is firm and fits snugly inside the crib, with no gaps around the edges. This helps prevent your baby from getting stuck. 2. Add a Fitted Sheet Choose a breathable and soft fitted sheet that wraps tightly around the mattress. Jollein offers a wide range of fitted sheets that perfectly match your nursery style—and your baby’s sleeping bags too! 3. Choose a Sleeping Bag To reduce the risk of suffocation, it's safer to let your baby sleep in a sleeping bag instead of using loose blankets. Pick the right TOG rating depending on the season: Summer sleeping bag (TOG 0.5) for warm nights 4-season sleeping bag (TOG 1.0 – 3.5) for year-round use Sleeping bag with detachable sleeves (TOG 2.5 – 3.5) for the colder months 4. Optional: Add a Light Blanket and Sheet If you prefer to use a blanket and sheet, make sure they’re tucked in tightly under the mattress. Jollein’s soft blankets with a TOG value of 2 are perfect for cooler nights, offering just the right amount of warmth. 5. Avoid Overheating Always keep an eye on the temperature in the nursery. Use breathable materials and aim for a room temperature between 16–20°C (60–68°F). 6. Keep the Crib Clear Remove all loose items like toys, pillows, or crib bumpers. A clutter-free crib is the safest choice. Mix and Match Your Favorite Themes Of course, safety is key—but you also want your baby’s crib to look beautiful. Jollein’s sleep essentials combine function with style. Our dreamy prints, soft colors, and gentle textures let you create a look that’s both calming and trendy. Combine pastel tones and soft materials for a crib that’s just as cute as it is comfortable. Muslin Cloths for Extra Convenience Muslin cloths are a must-have in every nursery. Use them as an extra protective layer on the mattress or during those little spills and accidents. Soft, absorbent, and quick to wash—Jollein’s muslin cloths are practical lifesavers for every parent. With these tips, you’ll create a sleeping space that’s safe, cozy, and totally ready to welcome your baby. Discover the full collection and get inspired to style your dream nursery!

Is your baby too hot or too cold? That can sometimes be hard to tell. It’s true that newborns aren’t yet great at regulating their own body temperature. That’s why it’s good to know: being a little too cold is actually better than being too warm! Luckily, there are some helpful guidelines for how to tuck your little one in, so they’re not too hot or too chilly. In this blog, we’ll tell you all about it.Common sense goes a long wayYou know how uncomfortable it feels to be too warm in bed — you start to sweat, feel stuffy, and end up kicking off the covers. But your baby can’t do that yet. That’s why it’s important to check on your little one now and then. Is their head too warm? Are their feet or neck too cold? Is your baby clammy or sweaty? Especially when they’re under the weather, they need to be able to release excess heat. You probably have a pretty good sense of the temperature in the room. And remember: it’s better to be slightly underdressed than overdressed!Keep it coolResearch shows that babies can struggle to breathe properly in an overly warm and crowded crib. A baby could roll onto their stomach and end up with their face pressed against a pillow or blanket, limiting access to fresh air. If your baby is wrapped up too warmly, their body temperature can rise to an unsafe level — especially if the bedroom is also being heated. 18 degrees Celsius is warm enough!Paying attention to TOG Trusting your instincts and doing regular checks is the best way to help your baby sleep safely. But there’s also a technical aid: the TOG value. This is a rating system for how well bedding and sleepwear insulate. The colder the room, the higher the TOG value can be. Conversely, the warmer the room, the lower the TOG value should be. TOG stands for Thermal Overall Grade, and the number tells you how much warmth is retained by items like sleeping bags, blankets, swaddles, and clothing. TOG ratings range from 0 to 4 and are meant to be used indoors at room temperature. They are not suitable for outdoor use.A guideline for temperature controlHere’s a handy overview of TOG values and the corresponding room temperatures. Important: Don’t add TOG values together. That’s because of the insulating air layer that forms between two separate layers — this layer adds extra warmth on its own. So trust your gut and use common sense when dressing your baby for sleep.

Which sleeping bag does my little one need? At Jollein, we’re here to help you choose the perfect sleeping bag for your baby. With over 50 years of experience designing beautiful and safe baby sleeping bags, we know exactly what makes the ideal fit. Because a good night’s sleep is essential—for both you and your little one!

At Jollein, we draw on more than 50 years of experience in designing and producing the finest baby sleeping bags. Over the years, we’ve refined our techniques and truly learned what parents want for their little ones. Every product we make reflects innovation, love, and care for quality and safety. Because at Jollein, we believe only the best is good enough for your baby. What is TOG and why is it important? TOG, or Thermal Overall Grade, is a measure of the insulation level of bedding. The lower the room temperature, the higher the TOG rating should be. This system ensures your baby sleeps comfortably, which is essential for your rest and theirs. A tip: don't add up TOG ratings—extra layers create warmth from the air between fabrics, which isn’t included in the rating. Which sleeping bags are available? At Jollein, you’ll find a selection of sleeping bags that match your baby’s needs, no matter the season or age. Choose the ideal sleeping bag for your little one and ensure restful nights! Newborn Cocoon / WrapperThis cocoon is perfect for newborns aged 0–3 months. It offers warmth and comfort, helping your baby feel safe and secure. Summer Sleeping BagMade from breathable, lightweight fabric, these sleeping bags are ideal for warm summer nights. They help keep your baby cool and comfortable. These sleeping bags are made from airy muslin or stretchy jersey and have a TOG value of 0.5—perfect for warm summer evenings! Sleeping Bag with Detachable SleevesThis versatile sleeping bag is perfect for any season. With a TOG rating of 3.5 for winter and 2.5 for spring and autumn, it’s the ideal solution for active little ones. Will you choose the version with a rounded or straight bottom? Which size sleeping bag does my little one need? To choose the right size, it’s important to measure your baby’s length. Lay your little one on a flat surface, like a soft mat or bed, and make sure they are lying straight with their arms at their sides. Use a flexible measuring tape and start at the top of the head, measuring straight down to the heel. This gives you the total body length. Compare it to our sizing chart and choose a size slightly larger so your baby has room to move—but not so much that the neckline is too loose. The table below is a guideline—always consider your baby’s length. Jollein offers four sleeping bag sizes: 60 cm: Suitable for newborns from birth to about 3 months. 70 cm: For babies aged 3–6 months. A great follow-up after the newborn sleeping bag! 90 cm: Suitable for little ones aged around 6 to 18 months. 110 cm: For toddlers aged 18 months and up—until they no longer need a sleeping bag.

Jollein offers four different sizes in its collection, so there’s a suitable sleeping bag for every baby and toddler. The newborn size is 60 cm and suitable for babies from 0–3 months. Then there’s the 70 cm size for 3–6 months, followed by the 90 cm sleeping bag for 6–18 months. The largest is 110 cm, which is suitable from 18 months until your little one no longer sleeps in a sleeping bag. These age ranges are just guidelines — always check your baby’s height when choosing a sleeping bag. It’s essential that your baby’s head or arms can’t slip through the openings. That’s why you shouldn’t size up too much. When in doubt, measure! Still unsure which sleeping bag or size is best for your baby after reading this blog?
