Warming the cot - quicker than wheatbag?

[Lisa]

We use a hot water bottle to warm Harrison's cot up... we just take it out before we put him in there.

thios might be a silly question but are you using flannalette sheets?

You can get heat packs that you click a little button in and it causes a chemical reaction and they heat up quickly and crystalise, then when they cool down you boil them in a pot of water till they are liquid again and cool them quickly before they crystalise again. much easier than the microwave and easy to do while you settle her before putting her down. I agree with AJP, use flannalette sheets coz they warm up faster.

Ali that's what I was thinking of. Do you know what they are called or where i could get them?

Already using flannelette thanks ladies!

I hear you MARYDEAN ... I live in Ballarat, brrrr ... geez it can get cold here too

... I did & still do exactly what the other member LISA mentioned for our daughter Cendrine

You can get them in the chemist, alternatively, toys'r'us have the prince lionheart on the go bottle warmer, which uses the same thing and is bigger and more mouldable. from memory they are about the same price, but dont quote me - i dont trust my own memory

what about putting a blanket in the dryer and warming it up and then putting it on the cot just before you put bubba in!
I would avoid those heat packs that you click to activate as i used one and they can get hot spots on them and are a pain to reboil after each use.
You can get the disposable heatpacks from the reject shop. A pack of two is like $2 so cheap but once agin watch the heat as they do get hot!
