Winter Bedtime - PJs/Blankets/Grobags??

[~Kim~]

Ezz here it gets to -7 at night some nights - I've found the best thing is a Snugtime sleep suit and jammies underneath. The Target and Kmart ones are unlined and just don't cut it when it's cold here. If it's a bit warmer I just put her in the suit with or without a singlet. She looks like a wombat!
Darcy has a doona now she's a big girl but rarely stays underneath it. As long as her neck and feet are warm I know she's going to be ok.

At the moment, Claire wears a singlet and a fleecy suit to bed. We're in Sydney too and the nights are definately getting colder! I do put on a small oil heater for a couple of hours just to warm up her room at night though, as I also feel the cold and like to be warm myself. Sometimes she still wakes up at night with really cold hands and face, but I snuggle her and that warms her up. Last year we had a Grobag and she stayed nice and warm in that. She's too tall for it now, but we do have another one on the way. She seems to like the grobag, but some babies hate them. She doesnt stay under a blanket, so we just have a fitted flannelette sheet on her bed. Sometimes she likes to take her pants off so we need to put her in a suit or bag as she cant get these off.

We have actually resorted to putting the air-con on in his room - just to keep it at 16 degrees. We then dress him in a singlet & wondersuit + a polar fleece sleepsuit from target. He has flannelette sheets, one cotton blanket (doubled over), one polar fleece blanket (doubled over) + a thin quilt (doubled over). This seems to be doing the trick - he is warm, but not hot. (I sound like tanstar - so many layers ).

I'm thinking about switching to a wool blanket instead (I think this will be warmer) & also getting a warmer sleepsuit. Where can you get 3 TOG suits?
