    she ends up lying sideways on our pillows to avoid the blanket touching her.
    That is so cute!! LOL...

    This is all helpful info for me although I am hoping that because she will not sleep now unless she is wrapped we won't have this problem!!

    Excellent thread, thanks!

    Hi all,
    I've been wondering what on earth we do when we visit Adelaide next month. DD has only lived (and slept) in stinking hot Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore and she won't tolerate any covering when it does cool down a bit.
    My Mum can pick up some pjs at Target for us. Thanks a lot for the advice. One less thing to worry about for our big trip.

    My DD has always been the same, hating coverings of any type, but she got a bit cold one night about 2 weeks ago and has been really into blankets ever since. She had a tantrum the other night because I didn't put a cover over her when I put her in her cot (I thought she was practically asleep) even though her room was 28 degrees!

    We've had the same problem here. We bought wollie all in ones with feet, target has them (up to like size 5) and they keep ds toasty warm. We put a singleton underneath as well. Stopped him waking up when it was getting cold here a few weeks back

    I've seen those all in one pj things - the feet are covered too..... they are like a sleeping bag but they can walk around in them
    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.
