At the moment my bubba (5.5 months) is still in love to dream 50/50 swaddle, with arms out (0.6 tog). We're still having some warm nights, so last night he started off in a singlet and swaddle, then I feel his chest when he comes for a feed, I put him in a long sleeved pyjama top as he felt cool. He has worn onesie pyjamas with the swaddle, when it's been cold and he's also got a 2 piece pyjama set. (He's a 0 already, my big boy) The nights that it has been colder I have a sheet over the top of his swaddle, then add a flannelette sheet or waffle blanket as it gets colder. He stays on his back though, and only rolling to side. He doesn't roll when he has the sheet over the top of him. I also make sure the sheet is tight and only goes up to just under his arms, feet at bottom end of the cot. Like I said I feel his chest to see if he's cold and needs more layers or warmer pyjamas. My boy doesn't like the terry towelling suit, he refuses to sleep in them. (I have tried him in them a couple of times, while he normally settles fine, he cried and cried till I took the suit off…)
