Just wondering what other Mums have done in this instance:

We live in Brissy and whilst we have many hot days, we also have the occasional cool evening. We have just had an air conditioner installed in our Monster's room and whilst we use that when necessary, because it dries out the air so much, we would like to avoid it when we can.

Ever since he was a couple of days old, whenever we put him down between 5 and 6pm he would view that as bedtime (I know, we have been very lucky in that regard!) and have a very long sleep. Now that he is almost 4 months, he still seems to get cranky and want to go to bed at this time and will then sleep through until at least 4am (I know - VERY LUCKY!!). The issue we are having is how to dress him for bed.

At 5pm when he has his bath and last bottle for the day, it is still really warm outside. He will usually be in a summer onesie as I can't very well dress him in a long-sleeved one or pop him in a grobag when it is still 28 degrees outside! He then goes to bed dressed for summer and usually the nights stay pretty warm and he sleeps through. The past two nights it has been cooler and I have woken up at 2am and covered him with a blanket, only to have him kick it off soon afterwards. I have now resorted to setting my alarm every 3 hours to get up and check that he is covered! I don't want to wake him up to change him, obviously.

He never wakes up from the cold, but that is not the point. I don't think it is healthy for him to lie there cold whether he knows it or not. What have you ladies done so solve this problem? How do you dress your bubs for the night when you live in a warmish climate with cooler nights?

Would really appreciate any advice. thanks
