'Clover' Sleeping Bag
by Rita Taylor
Unlike an adult sleeping bag, this garment usually had sleeves and fastened at the bottom or front so that the baby could easily have its nappy changed. Sometimes the sleeping bag had a hood for extra warmth.
This one doesn't, but is still perfect for cold nights, and is nice and roomy so that baby can still do some kicking without getting tangled up in bedcovers.
