    try taking it off and see how he goes, that's all you can do I guess! I won't be taking DD out of hers for a while, she rolls all over the cot in her sleep so she'd either roll out from underneath the blankets or get tangled up in them and I'd be worried all night about her suffocating in them.

    She was about 2 when we stopped sleeping bags - mainly because she was getting out of them herself. I'd try and keep him in over winter if you can, so much easier to keep them warm.

    I'm currently contemplating this same thing... we have moved DD into a big bed but she's still in her sleeping bag. We wanted the consistency of using the sleeping bag as a sleep aid - "time for bed, into your bag" and she's also really squirmy as she goes to sleep, so she often ends up round the wrong way or lying on the blankets.

    I'm worried if we take the bag away she will be cold... esp as its winter... so I'm thinking we'll persist for a while longer. She's only 16 mths.

    We never used the gro bags with DS1 or DS2, only the snugtime sleep suits. They both liked to sleep on their tummy's when old enough to do so. So answering your question when for the blankets and so on, it was when they moved into a bed. Our Cot converts into a junior bed, that's when I made it up like a bed.
    With DD she is in a gro bag, I am thinking the summer, as she too likes to roll and sleep on her side at the moment, by summer I should be able to relax a little for her sleeping on her tummy (that is where she is trying to head).
    The good thing about the snugtime sleep suits is you can put Pj's underneath, so they are warm enough. Pretty much the same as the gro bags.
