Sleep solutions that keep up with your child's development stages : challenge & tips

Every parent knows the feeling: just when you think you’ve finally cracked your baby's sleep code, everything changes. They start rolling, they want to stand up, or suddenly they are ready for a "big kid" bed.

At vos&bos, we believe that sleepwear should do more than just be comfortable. It should actively support your child's development. Whether it’s soothing a newborn or encouraging independence in a toddler, there is a specific solution for every phase that leads to better nights.

Here is how our collection grows with your child, from the very first swaddle to their favorite pajamas.

Stage 1: Snug From Day One (0 – 2 Months)

The Challenge: Adjusting to the World
In the first few weeks after birth, the world feels big and overwhelming. Your newborn craves the security of the womb. They need to feel tightly held and secure to truly settle down and rest.

Our Solution: The Snug Wrap
For this phase, we recommend to use Snug Wrap. It mimics the womb environment with a secure, snug fit. This deep pressure provides exactly the comfort and calm your little one needs during those very first nights.

Stage 2: Soothe the Startle (2 – 6 Months)

The Challenge: The Startle Reflex
You’ve probably seen it: your baby is sleeping soundly, then suddenly throws their arms wide open. This is the "Moro reflex" (startle reflex). It is perfectly normal, but it often wakes babies up instantly, leading to broken sleep cycles.

Our Solution: Reflex-Calming Swaddle
To break this cycle, we recommend a secure swaddle design that gently suppresses the startle reflex. This helps your baby connect their sleep cycles without waking up fully, leading to longer stretches of rest.

Stage 3: Safe to Roll (6 Months – 1 Year)

The Challenge: Rolling & Sitting
This is a huge milestone! But as soon as your baby starts rolling, swaddling becomes unsafe. At the same time, traditional sleeping bags can get twisted around active babies, causing frustration in the middle of the night.

Our Solution: The Split-Leg Sleep Suit
For active explorers, we developed the Split-Leg Sleep Suit. Designed with separated legs, it ensures healthy hip positioning and allows for safe rolling. It gives your child the freedom to find their own favorite sleeping position safely.

Stage 4: Walk, Play, Sleep (1 Year +)

The Challenge: "I Can Do It Myself!"
Welcome to the toddler phase! Your child wants to be independent. Being trapped in a restrictive sleeping bag can cause battles at bedtime. They want to stand, walk, and be in control.

Our Solution: The Self-Regulation Suit
Our Self-Regulation Sleep Suit is designed with this drive for independence in mind. The walkable design allows your toddler to move freely during their bedtime routine. This helps them go to bed willingly and fosters their own self-regulated sleep habits.

Stage 5: Blanket-ready (1 – 8 Years)

The Challenge: The Blanket Battle
Whether they are transitioning to a big bed or are simply active sleepers, kids constantly kick their blankets off. The result? Cold tummies and children waking up in the middle of the night (or crawling into your bed because they are cold!).

Our Solution: The High-Waist Pajama Set
We designed the High-Waist Pajama Set specifically for this transition. The extra-high waistband ensures that the tummy and back stay covered and warm, even if the duvet ends up on the floor. Your child stays cozy, and you get peace of mind.

Sleep That Grows With Them
Every stage of your child's development is special, but it brings new challenges. By choosing sleepwear that aligns with your child's motor and emotional milestones, you lay the foundation for self-regulated sleep and peaceful nights for the whole family.
