how did you dress your baby last night?

[feeb]

currently using our 1 tog grobags or dreambags.

Last night he had short sleeved top and shorts pjs on.

If cooler he has a wondersuit on.

Last night I dressed DD (9 and a half months) in a light cotton long sleeve/long leg suit with a light blanket.

I dressed LO in a long sleeve one piece (no legs) and put him in a fleecy sleeveless sleep bag. He seemed fine.

Daintree Dream- how does your LO go with the blanket? My LO (same age-ish) is all over the cot and I don't think a blanket would go well. Do you tuck it in, or what?

I dressed DS in a nappy, singlet and Wonder Suit. We live in the tropics so he was also in the aircon. He is dressed like that most nights and sleeps really well.

We're also in Melbourne...

I dressed DD in a shortsleeve bodysuit and a cotton wrap. I pulled up the blanket on her after the 3am feed.

I bought a 2.5 tog grobag to last for the next 3 months, but am swapping it for a 1 tog because I worry about overheating bub. The advice I have received is that its better to underheat than overheat bub.

Remember the extremeties will mostly feel cold, but if his tummy is warm then I think its fine.

Tyler was in a 2.5 grobag with a long sleeved pj top and singlet, and a nappy. We're in Melbourne too.

singlet and nappy here.. it was muggy here and DD co-sleeps so gets pretty toasty. Oh she had a blanket on

[Visitor8]

Ok third time lucky? So sick of retyping this lol

Ash sleeps in a singlet and wollies over his cloth bum. He sleeps with me though so gets a bit hot if I have him in anything else. He sweats a lot if he is in anything else.
Your bub sounds fine. I am sure he will tell you if he is cold.

My DD had on tshirt and shorts and a light blanket. It was quite muggy here

[~Saram~]

Ari had a short sleeved PJ tp and her shorties (woolies) with aircon on - NQ here, still waiting for the cooler weather.

When we lived in a slightly cooler climate I would layer so singlet, wondersuit, socks and mittens and then if it was really cold another polar fleece or sleeping bag over the top. Have you tried those grobags that apparently have a set temp range and don't allow bu b to overheat of something??? I remember reading the tag but pretty useless up here where it rarely drops below 20 degrees :-\

I'm in Geelong and we had the same temp last night as you...i had Ds in a cotton long sleeve long legd cotton suit in a BEBE sleeping bag.....BUT I did have a pedestal fan on his room on low....just to take the humidity away from the room...Because the day was quite warm his room had heated up.

If your not sure bout the weather dress bubs in cooler clothes because if your bubs is too cold they will let you know..(crying, stiring,etc...) If they overheat that will become dangerous!!!

It was a bit of a weird night temperature wise!!! It is starting to get colder at night about 2am tho!
