My four month old is a very active sleeper! He currently wears his long pjs onsies and is in a swaddle but it is impossible to keep any type of blanket on him as he does 360 turns through out the night! How can I keep him warm as the nights get cooler? Could I put him inside a sleeping bag thingy that have out for kids? I just don't think the onsie pjs are warm enough?
I use Gro Bags for DD. She rolls around a lot in bed and never ends up where she started lol. You can get one for 6 months & under, and they come with a guide for what to dress bubs in for the temperature.
Sleeping bags are great for little ones! And then when they're bigger (around 10ish+ months), I used to put pj's on them, and then use the thick polar fleece onsie suits on top when they go to bed. I also put a heater on low in their rooms in the winter.
we use sleeping bags as well. ds wad in them from about 10 weeks & dd by about 2 weeks (im useless at swaddling!!). i like the sleeping bags because you can adjust how much or how little they're wearing according to the weather & also be sure they can't kick off the covers. lots of them come with tog ratings so you can get one for colder weather.
the polar fleece ones are sort of baggy. i think mine is same size 00 as the onsie underneath. if baby is close to the next size go up cos it will last longer.
yeah, i have started putting the bits over his hands cos hands and face get so cold. i warm them up each feed.
My DD is still sleeping in bags as she moves around so much during the night. I've just started putting the heat on a timer in her room so it comes on at midnight so her room is warm when the 3am freeze hits.
I'm a fan of Grobags as my two boys constantly wriggle around too. Singlet and long pjs then an oil heater. The one we have has a timer on it and I set it so it comes on and off at various times throughout the night so that the room stays just right.
