have u thought about a high tog grobag? theyre fairly exxy BUT they wear them for ages! and super toasty and u can put blankets ontop aswell.
i dont know the rules about doona's and babies, so cant help much there, but in theory it would work. i always have 2 extra blankets under my doona in winter though!
Skybie - Shae still likes to be wrapped (both arms) so the grow bags at this stage aren't an option .. in fact she has decided she will not sleep during the day unless she is wrapped tight either
I figured the rules would just be the same as a blanket but the advantage is less weight itms?
R-D - its not so clever really the doonas are done in square pockets rather than strips itms so reall all I would be doing is chopping along a seam line then running a zig zag stitch over the cut section just to neaten it off, doona covers are really nothing more than two bits of material sewn together and you can hand stitch snaps on to close one end. The thing I like most about goose down (I believe) its allergy and dust mite free so it has some benefits over blankets etc, the just need a good airing.
Nae, that sounds like a good idea. I think SIDS recommend that you don't use doonas until a certain age - I can't remember if it's 6 or 12 months, so maybe don't use it yet. After that though, it's a great idea.
My DS also like to be wrapped to sleep, but he would wiggle around so much that by the time he got to around 10 weeks he was ending up sideways and partly under the blankets. I bought a couple of sleeping bags. I'd wrap him and then put him in the sleeping bag, it worked fine... anyway just a thought...
Sorry, I was typing on my phone before. What I was trying to say was- recently as six months ago, sids and kids say no doonas,partly because of worries about them overheating, partly because they are too heavy and thick if they get them over their face. But they same the same apllies to thick blankets too.
Having said that Nae, awesome idea... I may just pinch it for ds
