TOG Rating is a number which tells you how warm a garment will keep your baby. The higher the number, the warmer your little one will be when wearing the garment. This means higher TOG ratings keep your baby warm during colder winter months, while lower TOG ratings keep your baby cool in the hotter summer season.
To help parents understand which TOG values are right for differing room temperatures, a set of guidelines has been established as per below:
- 0.2 TOG – ideal for room temperatures between 75°F and 81°F
- 1.0 TOG – ideal for room temperatures between 68°F to 75°F
- 2.5 TOG – ideal for room temperatures between 61°F to 68°F
- 3.5 TOG – ideal for room temperatures below 61°F
Our helpful dressing guide provides you with guidelines around how to dress your baby based on the room temperature. All babies are different. The number of clothing layers may vary according to a baby’s health, their physiology & the temperature in the room. The care-giver must determine what is suitable. It is important to check your baby regularly to ensure that they are comfortable and that they do not overheat. For additional temperature and dressing guidelines, please click here.
