My only answer is do what we did - move to the tropics. Not much help, am I?
DS won't abide by anything covering him while he sleeps. But at the moment it's so hot he just sleeps in a nappy and nothing else, and is perfectly happy. In winter we get as far as tracky pants and a long sleeved t-shirt, and that's about it.
But when we were in Melbourne last year it was a nightmare, because he was icy cold but wouldn't let me cover him up. So I can sympathise with you there. His father is exactly the same, throws off the covers even in winter, then complains of the cold.
We live in the frozen wastes. I tell DS tough, he needs his blankets on and tightly tucked in. I don't like being cold so he won't kick them off then get me out of bed to say he's cold. He got used to it.
I also close his bedroom window at night to keep him warmer. He prefers to have most of his chest out of the covers so I have to do something.
both my girls are like this - they generally have flannel pjs on from late summer on and in winter the Best annd Less sleeping suits with legs and feet though DD2 is not so keen on hers
We live where it gets pretty cold and DD was fine in a bodysuit/singlet, pyjamas and then the suit over the top. I was lucky though she's an amazon child and the first size I bought her was a 2 (before she was 1). I always buy hr 2 sizes up now - just so I can get the length, but at least they're roomy.
In winter she has a singlet, wondersuit and snugtime fleece suit with legs. We also have the heater set at 16 degrees and this seems to keep her warm enough.
oh my dd does the same, just changes positions all the time during the night and gets really cold, where can i get thermal singlets and underwear for a 1 year old? in melbourne
