I've had Izzy in her 2.5 tog bag for the last 4 nights or so with a long sleeve pyjama top on underneath but no legs. Last week whenever we had that first cool night she had legs too.
I basically dress Iz according to how we are feeling at night (or at least DH at the moment until my pregnancy heater disappears!). We have a latex bed which is very warm and while DH sleeps in jocks only, he's got the winter doona pulled up to his ears by early morning, not to mention his hot water bottle wife.
I would be inclined to dress Felix for the early morning cool, given that he's going to wake up if he gets cold and wake his mummy!! Just make sure he's not too hot when you put him to bed at night. Depends on Felix's room obviously, but we leave Izzy's sliding door and two windows open when she goes to bed, but then close them to stop the breeze when we go to bed.
And having waffled all that, just give the warmer grobag a go and see what happens!
oh i am going against the trend here LOL! N is quite a hot baby and DH especially is PARANOID about him overheating... so i basically only use 1 tog bags... and use a long sleeve, long legs body suit underneath... that said we keep his room at 22 degs all night so that works and we use the same bag tog all year (so far!). I do have one 0.5 tog and one 2.5 tog for when we go away or for extreme days/nights but thats how we do it...
will see how that goes in the depths of winter though!
I use a .5 tog with a suitie and singlet underneath and socks and a blanket (i know!). Like u say Perth nights have been 22 deg at 10pm then 10 degrees at 4am so I just take the rug in and off. I also got a mini de Longi oil heater that I put on low one night last wk early in the am after a feed.
Grobags...what TOG and what to wear?
