Hi,

I have my 20 week old in a 2.5 tog grobag. I now need to buy a couple for the spring and summer months. What is more appropriate 1.0 tog or 0.5 tog?

Thanks

I prefer to use a 0.5 tog and not have the air-con blasting. In the cooler months (by HK standards) you can just put them in a full length babygro.
 
It depends whether you use air conditioning. if yes, i use 1.0 tog, cos after midnight, the body gets colder & it'll be safer to use the 1 tog. my building is currently doing external walls renovation & they take down all the air-cons, and i'm using 0.5 for my 2 yo.

the best thing to do is, follow the thermometer that comes with the grobag, and follow recommendation for the rm temp in baby's rm.

(i have 2 of each tog for throughout the yr use. if you're planning to use grobag until your baby is beyond 12 mths, i think it's worth it to invest in all 3 thickness.)
 
one more thing is, you can adjust the warmth by adjusting the clothing for your child. when the weather was cooler, bb was wearing sleepsuit (with footies), plus 1 tog. now the it's warmer, she's just wear pyjama top & 0.5tog (the rm is actually 25C at night, so quite warm)
 
With aircon on we use 1.0 tog, I can't sleep without air con on in the summer! Without aircon I would say no grobag necessary.
