baby sleeping bags

ladies i have just bought a 1 tog sleeping bag for my 1 month old.

does she still need a vest and babygrow on at night if we use this? is 1 tog the same as 1 blanket?

just want to check i will be using it correctly.

thank you

    Based on what I read I have it in my mind that baby will wear vest, sleepsuit and have 1 tog sleeping bag - as the room temperature is around 19-20'C. Most of the advice is that a nursery should be around 18-20'C and that 2.5 tog is for all year round, but am going to start with 1 tog and night clothes and take it from there.

    Would be good to see what others' experience is though as am a novice mum to be and don't know bugger all! lol

    Hi MG. Our room is 21 degrees most of the time and Matilda has been wearing a vest, sleepsuit and the 1 tog bag and seems to be quite happy x

    Now the weather is warmed dd's room is 21 degrees. She is a very hot baby so she has a 1tog sleeping bag and a sleep suit. We stopped putting her in a vest last week and she still feels hot when she wakes up!
