I know that overheating is a risk factor with SIDS so I was initially concerned with that, but after having her wake up freezing once I had to compromise!

At first she slept with a beanie because she was so small at birth she had trouble regulating her temp. Now, we keep the heater on in the lounge (gas, less expensive and next to our room, not hers) which flows through to her room via a couple of others. That's at about 18 degrees, but I know it drops below that in her room, especially first thing in the morning.

She wears a singlet and bonds wondersuit. She has cotton sheets, a cellular blanket and a light flannel blanket on her bed and I also wrap her in a light wrap (to keep her arms in rather than keep her warm, she sleeps much more soundly overnight wrapped).

She's effectively only wearing the same amount of clothes I am and she isn't sleeping next to another big warm body (DP)!! Also, we have a woollen quilt and lambswool underlay. If that's what I need to keep warm I don't think I'm overheating her...
