    DS1 wears a singlet and pj's with socks to bed. He used to get from under his doona until his nanna came up with a brilliant idea. She put his doona sideways on his bed and tucked both sides firmly under the mattress; since doing this he hasn't kicked his doona off and is nice and warm every morning! HTH

    Great idea Esme!

    My two often only wear a tshirt and undies/nappy, but they are pretty good at covers having never tolerated sleeping bags and I live in a pretty different climate to most of you. Even though it's down to 5-8 at night, the days are warm enough to heat the house and it stays at around 18 of a night time.

    Meercat - DD does get too hot I think and I think that's why she gets out of her covers. But the problem is then in the morning she's freezing and is waking up.

    Esme - That's what I do with DD's covers, but my DD manoeuvres herself totally out of the covers so that she's lying sideways across the bed right up the top.

    I might have to think about using sleeping bags again or get one of those body suit type ones to keep her warm in the mornings but then she might be too hot when she first goes to bed. :Wall:

    Moi - X wears tracky-style or flanney pj's to bed, now it's getting colder I'm sometimes adding socks & singlet. His bedding is a single doona (no top sheet). We usually have to pull the covers over him before we go to bed, as he's generally uncovered at that time (except the night we found he'd tucked himself in under his pillow ). I've also occasionally found he has actually pulled the doona over himself... i.e. it was notably different to how we'd put him to bed. He doesn't seem to wake up cold and I wonder if he needs to pull it up during the night - he seems to manage tho. We also leave the heater so the temp in the house is set to about 17-18. Sounds like an all-in-one with feet might be a goer. Good luck!

    I tuck DD back in before I go to bed but she must just get out of her covers after that too.
