New winter sleeping bags: What’s new and which one to choose?

New winter sleeping bags: What’s new and which one to choose?

New winter sleeping bags: What’s new and which one to choose?

You’ve been asking us for a long-sleeve sleeping bag almost from the very beginning. We heard the question “When will you have ones with sleeves?” for years. But it wasn’t as simple as just sewing sleeves onto a bag—sleeves change how the bag fits and how it retains warmth. We had to break it down completely and start from scratch.

And while we were at it, we wanted our winter bags to be even softer and gentler to the touch, while still keeping your little ones just as warm as they should. It took time, but they are finally here!

Read on to find out what’s new, what stayed the same, why we made these changes, which bag to choose, and how to pick the right size.

Baby colic – myth or reality?

It's crying, it's wriggling, but it's not a tummy ache, sir. I mean, at least it's not necessarily a tummy ache. We're not going to replace doctors now, of course, but we already know a thing or two about baby colic. And we know that when we discover the true cause of our baby's misfortune, we can eliminate it quite effectively. Even without medication.

5 myths about children's sleep that already need to be demolished

5 myths about children's sleep that already need to be demolished

We've got such a wickedness here, and that is unrealistic expectations of our young children in terms of their sleep. Our little miracle worker is not even half a year old yet and we are already googling and paying sleep consultants, just so that the baby finally sleeps through the night and doesn't hang up on us when we put him to sleep. But where did these expectations come from and should we be making a big deal out of them? Let's take a look at the 5 most common myths that could really be dust.

Sleep already, please!

Or how to put a child to sleep without harming the health of both parties involved. Dear tired mom, close your eyes, take a deep breath and exhale. We're in this with you. Whether you've just spent twenty sweaty minutes bouncing around on a fitball with a baby in your arms, whether you're starting to feel the first signs of thigh muscles from rocking with a baby in a carrier or trying to tame a wild beast at half past ten in the evening, we can imagine what you're going through. We've been there, too. We rocked, we bounced, we walked, we sang, we shushed, we hmmmmed, we nursed, we traded the carrier for a scarf and vice versa, all with one noble goal in mind: to put our little ones to sleep. The following lines might serve to reassure and encourage you that what you are doing is right and if you persevere, you won't lose your nerve and you have a chance of raising a happy and contented child.

VACICE - OUR STORY

VACICE - OUR STORY

We are sleeping well today.

We don't wake up to blanket cold dumped babies at night. They are getting better quality and deeper sleep, they are warm and we are not worried about them catching a cold. 

 

It hasn't always been that way, and of course, we've had tough nights and rough mornings too.

When our first daughter was born, we had no experience with baby care, we hadn't been taught anything, we hadn't been given any "well-meaning advice" (sometimes thankfully).

This sweet ignorance of ours and the immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth was a great start to contact parenting.
