    I've been thinking the same thing as DS is in the same boat. Can't put anything on him unless he's in a deep sleep and even then when he wakes up it's off within minutes, we tried a grobag once and he was like a frog in a sock! We couldn't even wrap him as a new born baby. I've decided to dress him really warm in the winter and to put the oil heater on in his room during the winter.

    this is what we use for wriggle monster. You can get them from best and less or target for about $20 and they go up to a size 6 I think.

    I could kiss you!! I have been searching every place I could think of but the shopping centre I am going to today has a Best & Less (I hope).

    Yep - the sleep suits with legs! They are brilliant - both my girls have worn them and they go up to bigger sizes at Target.

    we use sleepersuits too from snugtime, though DD2 has decided now right before winter that she no longer likes them and is often without a doona too

    are the sleeping bag suits at best and less & target the same type of thing as the snugtime ones with a tog rating etc? I think they would be perfect for DS

    I was just coming in to mention these - i sent mum hunting for a dressing gown for DD, and she called to mention the all in one B-sleepers. they go up to size 6 in target. $24 each. DD will tolerate blankets, but only just. She's not a fan. it's meant we have to keep the house warmer for her, and then i can't sleep cos it's warm (i like snuggling in the doona - can't do that if it's warm lol)

    These ones are fleece, so would be pretty warm if you get very cool. no sure how it would go with the transitional weather or if your bub co-sleeps at all. I'm kinda hoping if she is warm she won't wake in the night and co-sleeping part of the night will be a thing of the past...

    My DD exactly the same still at age 4!
    When she was up to 2ish we would use the fleecy sleeping bag suits from kmart, Target or big w but also put a wondersuit underneath and singlet!
    I've also heard of putting 2 wondersuits on too.
    DD would sleep through all winter from a young age.
