Unravelling the Mystery: Are Baby Onesies Safe to Sleep In?
As parents ourselves, we know that a well-rested baby makes a happy home. So, finding the right cosy sleepwear is the top priority. As you are searching online and discovering the world of onesies, you’ve ended up reading this blog and you couldn’t be in safer hands. Sky Rockets is run by a family for families across the UK, we have learned from our experiences so we can share with you only our top baby products.
In this blog post we will dive in deep to teach you the ways of onesies, exploring their safety, who they are suitable for and how they can benefit both you and your little one during their snoozefest. So, take a seat and let’s start with the basics.
Baby Onesies and Rompers
Back in the 1950’s a gentleman called Walter Artzt revolutionised baby sleepwear by creating the very first onesie for babies. The one-piece design with a snap closure at the front made it simple for parents to change their little ones without disturbing their sleep.
Since then, they have developed and become a popular choice among parents seeking comfort, ease, and style for their little one’s sleepwear. This one-piece has eliminated the hassle of purchasing both tops and bottoms which can easily fall off your wriggly baby throughout the night. By opting for a onesie over a two-piece sleep set, your little one is less likely to feel a cold draft when moving around in their sleep, keeping them warm and snug all night long.
Not Just Onesie Benefit, But Twosie, and Threesie
Comfort: By choosing to wrap your precious one in a onesie rather than a two-piece, you are providing them with a fully functional layer. It is inevitable that your baby will wriggle around in their sleep and a onesie will help stop any cold drafts seeping through and making them cold throughout the night. The soft layer allows natural movement and flexibility so your little one can stay warm and content and it reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as there is no need for a loose blanket.
Warmth: ergoPouch baby onesies are made from organic cotton and come in a variety of different TOG values from 2.5 up to 3.5, allowing your little one to regulate their body temperature naturally whilst sleeping. This type of material prevents your baby from getting chilly in the cold nights and too warm in the summer.

Convenience and Versatility: Onesies provide a simpler solution to nappy changes. Save time by no longer having to unravel and then wrap your baby back up in their blanket. Onesies at Sky Rockets come with easy-to-use zips to make the joyous nappy-changing chore easier. Not only are these sleepwear savers good for bedtime but your little one can stroll their stuff throughout the day, making them a staple item in your parenting toolbox.
Safety Comes First
Finding the Perfect Fit
Although the onesie market has changed the way we wrap our little ones up at night. It is vital that you choose the right size onesie for your little one.
