Min,

My dd was born at the end of June - and was well and truly a winter baby. It's going back a few years, but I remember her wearing a wondersuit and singlet (possible even a singlet suit thing), wrapped in a bunny rug and then a polar fleece type blanket over her... maybe even a cellular blanket too (can't remember).

I do love your idea about using the doona cover. What a fabulous idea!

DD didn't use a doona until she was just about to go into a bed about 27ish months. We took the side off her cot, and made it up as a bed for about three weeks before she went into the bed so she would get a 'feel' for it.

Cheers,
