Keeping the cot warm...

[OceanPrincess]

Hadn't thought of flannelette sheets. But how do to do a heat pack/hot water bottle - just let them grizzle a bit longer when you get up? That's my problem... Takes so long to warm up a heat pack or hot water bottle... I guess a bit longer won't hurt him...

I was thinking of some sort of heat pad that I could turn on when I get him up... But would that be considered dangerous, like a possible cause of overheating??

Off to Target today I think to check out sheets.

Do you heat heat packs in the microwave?

YOu could pick bub up, carry him and heat pack to microwave, heat heat pack, take it back to his cot and put blankets over and then feed bub ....

The only problem is if it takes 2 hours, heat pack might be cold again but the time bub is going back to bed.

mmm, maybe you need an oompah loompah who can....

Flannel sheets make a big difference. Now my DD is bit older she also has a lambswool under the flannel sheets that holds the heat in.

Have you thought about using those heat packs that heat instantly when you snap the little metal thing inside? They just need - recharging? - after it has cooled down by throwing it in a pot of boiling water. They're sold on ebay and you would find them if you type in 'instant heat pack'

You could put one of these in to warm up the cot and take it out before putting bub in there
