December arrives with its long, chilly nights and frosty mornings. For your children to sleep peacefully despite dropping temperatures, choosing the right nightwear becomes essential. Quality winter sleepwear for kids makes all the difference between a restless night and restorative sleep that allows your little ones to recharge their batteries.

Why Prioritize Winter-Appropriate Nightwear?

When the mercury drops, your child's bedroom can quickly become cool, even with the heating on. Well-chosen nightwear helps maintain stable body temperature throughout the night, without risk of overheating. This is particularly important for young children, whose temperature regulation systems are still developing.

Sleep plays an essential role in children's development. According to Canadian guidelines, children aged 5 to 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep per night for optimal health. A comfortable sleep environment, including appropriate clothing, contributes to achieving these goals.

Materials to Favor for Winter

Organic Cotton, a Valuable Ally

Organic cotton remains the undisputed champion for winter nights. This natural fiber offers several advantages:

  • Breathability: It wicks away moisture while retaining warmth
  • Softness: Perfect for children's sensitive skin
  • Durability: Withstands numerous washes
  • Comfort: Doesn't scratch and allows freedom of movement

At Deux par Deux, our pajamas for girls and our pajamas for boys are made from superior quality organic cotton, offering a perfect balance between warmth and comfort.

Cuts Adapted to Cold Weather

For December, we focus on:

  1. Long-sleeved two-piece sets: They allow temperature adjustment by layering with an undershirt if necessary
  2. One-piece pajamas with feet: Ideal for younger children who move around a lot at night
  3. Well-fitted models: Not too tight, but close enough to the body to retain warmth

How to Choose the Right Size?

Nightwear that's too large can prove problematic in winter. Not only does it risk creating pockets of cold air, but it can also ride up during the night and leave the stomach or legs exposed. Conversely, a model that's too tight will limit movement and disrupt sleep.

Our collections offer sizes ranging from 3 months to 14 years, with cuts designed for each growth stage. For the little ones, discover our baby girl pajamas and our baby boy pajamas, specially designed for their comfort.

The Importance of a Consistent Bedtime Routine

Beyond clothing choices, the bedtime routine greatly influences sleep quality. Here are some tips for December evenings:

  • Maintain a stable bedroom temperature between 18 and 20°C
  • Avoid screens at least 30 minutes before bedtime
  • Create a soothing ritual: story, soft music, cuddle
  • Dress your child just before bed so they don't get too warm during evening activities

Patterns That Appeal to Children

Because comfort also comes from the pleasure of wearing their clothes, our winter collections feature fun and trendy prints. From forest animals to festive Christmas motifs, including dinosaurs and unicorns, every child finds their happiness.

These colorful designs transform bedtime into a joyful moment, rather than a daily battle. When children love their pajamas, they're more eager to put them on and prepare for the night.

Care and Durability

To ensure nightwear retains its insulating properties:

  • Wash them in warm rather than hot water
  • Use a gentle detergent without harsh agents
  • Avoid fabric softener which can reduce fabric breathability
  • Favor air drying when possible

Well-maintained winter pajamas can last the entire season and even be passed down to younger family members or resold on secondhand platforms.

Preparing Multiple Options

Needs change from night to night based on several factors: outdoor temperature, home heating, child's health. Having two or three different sets allows adjustment according to conditions. Some milder evenings, a slightly less thick model will do, while particularly cold nights will require more covering.

This approach also avoids crises if the favorite pajamas end up in the wash. Rotation and variety make things simpler for the whole family.


With well-chosen nightwear, adapted to the season and made from quality materials, your children will enjoy cozy and restorative nights. Because a child who sleeps well is a thriving child, ready to face the winter adventures that await them every morning.
