    Hi there kirsty_lee

    DD was an October baby and she is one hot bodied little thing. We could only use muslin wraps on cool nights or she just sweltered. She lived in singlets and those no sleeves or leg jumpsuits. At night slept in a nappy on many nights and in a nighty on cooler nights. That said she is still a super hot kidlet and when Im cool her and DH are throwing the blankets back!

    I don't know if they still make them, but Living Textiles made muslin wraps that had a bit of stretch in them, they were awesome.
    The other thing about a summer baby, is that I found ours snacked on milk on the hot days, not because he was hungry, but just from thirst, so little feeds to get the foremilk. All the time on the hot days! I remember one day I was a bit upset because I felt like bub was glued to me and I was so hot and grumpy, we ended up giving bub some cooled boiled water.

    Yes they do, I got some from Baby Bunting, you are right, they are excellent!

    Snugglebum make great PJ's for summer. DD wears them. You can also use light PJ's with a light Gro Bag. That's what I did last year and it worked a treat.

    I was wondering the same thing... All I have so far are singlets.

    Cotton Cotton Cotton, clothes and wraps! Pumpkin Patch are usually pretty good with 100% cotton clothes. Otherwise check out the SAHM sites as their clothes are usually handmand cotton.
