What age do you start using the sleeping bags?

Birth with mine I think, but they were both 8lb+ at birth.

DD was co-sleeping with me for the first few months, and it was summer, so we didn't use the grobag. When we moved her to the crib in our room at 3 months, which coincided with the cooler nights, we started using it.

We started using it when dd was 5 weeks and had reached the weight she had to be think it was 8lb 13 or something. She would kick the blanket off all night she hated it tucked in and settled much better with the bag as she could still kick her legs she loves it she knows as soon as it goes on its bedtime and I don't have to worry about the blankets going over her face

I thought they had to be 10lbs. Not sure where I got that from. The key is that their head shouldn't be able to wiggle down in the head hole (iyswim). So guess that depends on combination of shape of baby's head and type of sleeping bag.

Started using it when DS grew out of his moses basket (8 weeks) and started co-sleeping with me.

Mine went in them from birth but I had big babies. Grobag do some suitable from birth, or they did.

I had two from the US that were for newborns that we used from birth. They were a bit smaller than GroBags so were almost like swaddling. I started using the Grobag around three weeks. Very helpful when you have a January baby!

I think we started about 2 months, once ds stopped having dirty nappies in the night. I did have a bag that was suitable for use from birth but found the whole fandango of getting him in and out for a nappy change in the middle of the night woke him up too much. I swear by them though, ds still in one now at 10 months and he loves it.
