Grobags - advice needed for first time user

[satya]

If it's any help my health nurse said that overheating is a problem, not being a little cold so don't over do it.

I haven't used my grobag yet as it's too big and it's a summer weight one but I've used a few other sleeping bags. They would be similar to a 2.5 tog I think. I dress Brock in a short sleeved all in one suit or singlet with a warm fabric long sleeved and legged all in one suit. I don't place a sheet or blanket over him. Our house is pretty warm though and it probably wouldn't go below 16 degrees over night. He has comfortably slept that way since he was a couple of weeks old.

Jules, I've got a 1.0 TOG grobag (am in Perth too) and our bedroom gets to 15 degrees at night (according to the room thermometer). I dress DS in a singlet and a bonds wondersuit under the grobag. Then he has a sheet and one of those light soft furry blankets folded in half. He seems to be fine in this.

A lady working in a baby store once told me that a 0.5 tog G/bag was equiv to 1 cotton sheet; a 1.0 tog was equiv to 1 cotton sheet plus 1 cotton cellular blanket; and the 2.5 tog was equiv to 1 cotton sheet plus 2 cotton cellular blankets. Hope that helps. I am also in Perth and in winter dress my DD in a long sleeved Bonds wondersuit and put her in a 2.5 tog G/Bag.
